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.

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...

Subaru Extra S. If that doesn't work, rebuild your transmission.

I'd suggest the extra S.
Cocktails end up causing more issues in the long run.
