The friction modifier in shockproof works wonders for making the synchros grab and work better. The downside is that the friction modifier may reduce bearing life... but if it's reducing the tranny from 200,000 miles down to 150,000 miles, who cares.

I tried 50/50 RedLine 75w90ns/Lightweight Shockproof, and I like the straight shockproof better.
