Dean, I agree 100%. Im not a big fan of the cocktails myself. I know the shockproof mt90 deal works well in evo 5 speeds, but I just dont like how sticky it is in the cold. Works well in Vegas because we never see sub 40 temps lol. Im with you on the motul too, I use RB600 for brakes, but never used anything else. Ive heard nothing but good though, but those frenchys charge a buttload for their fluids lol. (Im french I can get away with that hehe). As far as off the shelf penzoil/valvoline, I used to work at henderson chevy way back in the day and have seen what penzoil does to a motor after 50k miles. Its wax based (the motor oil) rather then petroleum, and leaves alot of gummy residue (or at least it used to, when I was wrenching 10 years ago for a living).

We have done the exact same thing on the MR 6 speed, theres a thread on evom that is 60 pages long and the title is "Trackwhores with MR 6 speed" which is devoted solely for us track guys that abuse our trannys. Im with you dean, I track but Im good on my car, I still have 36k on my stock clutch where normally guys are blowing them at 10. But when guys like Razorlab (brain at GST, im sure you guys know him) grenade 4th gear on the straight at Thill after 4 laps, you know it has to be mechanical. Temp sensors have been added by guys and the consensus is that certain fluids overheat more then others. He was running BG syncroshift, and I would stay far away from that because another guys 4th gear did the same on BG. Someone elses grenaded running the redline cocktail, so I shy away from that as well although I think its more to do with the size of the tooth rather then fluid. Like you said though, protect the trans at all costs. A bunch of trials have been ran on that syntorq, and it has gone through the ringer quite well. After two trackdays it was sent to blackstone and was still strong according to them, so thats what I stick with. Some guys are trying out the amsoil, but honestly Im not fond of being a guinea pig on a $6000 mistake. On that note, if you guys say the lightweight shockproof works well in the wrx Im all ears hehe. She will be doing some light autocross as well, and she is still getting used to driving stick again.
