WTB: 1qt Redline Lightweight Shockproof
This is just a shot in the dark. I'd like to add some Shockproof to my gearbox just to see if it might smooth things out a bit ('04 WRX, 5MT).
I haven't been able to find anyone locally who carries a full line of Redline products. Titan in Orlando is the closest place I know of that stocks LW Shockproof.
I haven't had a good excuse to drive to Orlando in a while, and I don't want to pay $10 shipping on a $10 item from another vendor.
I know this isn't a big ticket item, but does anyone have an extra quart of Lightweight Shockproof that I could buy?

Firstly, thanks for the head's up on Driven Concepts. I'm not too far from there, but I never knew the place existed. I'll have to stop by there soon.
There's nothing really wrong with the trans, I just want to experiment a bit with the fluid to see if it's possible to get 1st gear to engage more smoothly.
Occasionally I'll be completely stopped, I put the clutch to the floor, calmly shift into 1st, and it grinds!...it makes me curse loudly. I'd be much happier if it never happened, but maybe that's asking too much from the Subaru 5MT.

My recommendation is to bring it in to Mastro Subaru and do our transmssion service with the Subaru Extra-S fluid. By far the best fluid out on the market for the 5mt. If you don't want to do the transmission service cause you would rather do it yourself, you can bring in your own container and we can sell it to you that way.

BoostJunkie, 1st gear has been fickle since I first purchased the car from Mastro 2 years ago, which is why I switched to Redline 75w90NS in the first place. Was there 'Extra-S' already in the trans when I bought it, or would it have been some other juice?
