^ I would agree above statement even more so for this particular gearbox so it seems. Recently I ran some Gear 300, initially it was difficult to select 2nd when cold compared to the already sheared down stock oil which had done some 27K kms, temps were still quite cold here in the mornings, but after 2000kms selection improved just like the stock oil did with time - additives pack kicking in ? Currently running the ever popular MTF2 and although I'm finding cold gear selection much improved (not butter), I can't say that I'm 100% happy at this stage (only done 1K kms) when hot as I'm finding gear selection 2 & 3 harsher & more mechanical compared to the cushioned feel of the stock rec oil weight in Gear 300.

It's early days yet but I reckon this gearbox needs the best 75W90 you can get.
