Default Tranny fluid?????????

I am going to change my Transmission fluid this weekend before Scott comes to tune. I am wondering what you all are running. I was thinking of doing that Uncle Scotty's mix from Nasioc because it has recieved a lot of good reviews. I have also contemplated a 50/50 mix of Redline LW shockproof and Redline MT-90 or Just the OEM Transmission fluid. I don't have any tranny problems currently so I am leaning towards just keeping the stock fluid.

How long have you been running it? Also, any noticeable difference.

id go with the synchromesh or the motul like Ken said. ive heard so many stories of the synchromesh is an awesome product. a friend used it and his tranny that used the grind almost every shift went away with the synchromesh.

Actually I did some reading and I do think its different because of the STi 6-speed compared to WRX 5-speed. I read that Uncle scotty's could clot the transmission oil pipe.
