Scott'ys Cocktail
 

Has anybody tried "Scott'ys Cocktail" in their Suby transmission? I am thinking about trying it in my 02 wrx for the first time. Does anyone know of a local vendor that sells the products? Sorry, I am new to Reno.

Thanks for all the help,
Scott

Straight up RedLine Lightweight Shockproof gear oil is just as good, and way less hassle than mixing up a concoction.

I did the cocktail back in 2002 or so. When I switched to straight Shockproof, I couldn't tell the difference. No matter what, getting into 1st requires a double-clutch rev-match or patience and proper pressure on the synchros to let them work. It's the nature of the gearbox more than the nature of the fluid.

^Agreed. Had the cocktail, switched to Lightweight Shockproof and I can't tell the difference.

Just don't get caught granny shifting and not double clutching like you should.

I ran the cocktail about 5 years ago and then started reading a lot of negative reviews on Nasioc. It seemed like it was okay for the first 10K miles or so, but then shifting became more difficult so now I just run RL SP LW like everyone else. They sell it at Summit Racing in town. I also tried Motul Gear 300 or whatever it's called and it was too slippery.

RL LW SP 5 & 6 MT FTFW.
