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.
