Hi guys

After I changed my gearbox oil the shifts are harder and now sometimes it scratches going into 4th. If i make a less than slow-medium very positive shift, it scratches.

I have Liqui Moly 75W90 GL5 oil in there now. I have no idea what was in there before. It was way overdue for a change, the oil looked like sh|t.

The car has 121 700km on now. It's a 2004 STI, with a 6-speed NON-DCCD 'box in.

My rear diff has no heat sensors on. I see according to sites other countries' STIs came with these sensors. Do I have an old spec car?

Do I need a GL4 oil in my 'box ?

Works wonders. I've heard many people that use these new super oils end up having issues.

workshop manager told me in confidence now over the phone, the older oils works better actually....

go figure, hey. :/
