Just FYI, Tom and I looked at my 95 rally transmission after 30,000 miles and 10 rallies, it looked just like it did before all the "abuse" , all the gears and synchros look to be in great shape.

It was primarily driven hard on low grip surfaces, which i think is easier on the drive-line (though i did a few autoxes on it) , and with a low hp motor , again that should be easier.
that was all with Amsoil 75-90 gear oil (heavy duty or serve) stuff they stock at the lil sunshine automotive (though not at very good prices) Not exactly sure what the fluid change interval should be, given that its a rally car, but i never changed my fluid 2 years , 10 rallies, 30k miles, a dozen rally crosses, never changed the fluid and it felt just as good on the last drive, as it did on the first drive.
