Then I spoke to LPI Racing (Livermore race shop) to provide the Motul. They can generously provide the Motul for a few dollars lesser and available next week.

Then I spoke to Dublin Toyota and ordered 4 crush washers. The crush washers [strongly] recommend are ~$2 each for the differential (x2) and ~$12 each for the tranny (x2). 3 of 4 of the washers are special order - why not in stock or the ~$12 hike...because racecar. No, because $28 in crush washers are a lot cheaper than a potential leaking tranny/diff.

While I'm down there, I would change the oil too but I have my 7500-mile maintenance coming up very soon. So I will skip the oil change (hehe 2 oil changes BEFORE this 7500).
You should of asked the Subaru dealer if its cheaper and not special order.
