Oh yea I know
I didnt think ya were.
When I rebuild the tranny I'll probably just go with Subaru's recommendation.
You have a freshly rebuilt Legacy Turbo 5mt right? Then just use what Subaru says...

Well, after reading a million posts about transmission fluids, cocktails and reviews... and then reading a few more, and then talking to a few more people I ended up taking the dealers recomendation and using the subaru synthetic (they sold me some in a jug that I brought in). I've got to say that the shifting improved 100%, I can't compare it to the cocktails, but I'd say for the cost ($40 for trans oil and rear diff oil) it's hard to beat the subaru recomendation. Just my 2 cents.
90 Legacy L AWD 5mt
Formerly of the USMB but moved from an RX to a Legacy
After doing my shell swap I put regular old valvoline gear oil in... And holy fuck... Sucks Eric Cartmans balls...
Horrible... Can barely get the damn thing into second gear!
I may try Subarus recommendation... OR... my tranny cocktail again...
