BTW, what change/gain is from CF used among materials? From what it looks like friction surfaces are still brass, so why complicate/probably more expensive construction?

The synchro is carbon fiber lined and still brass on the outside.
we exclusively use motul in this transmission with good results. but no formal testing against other oils.
our shop car now lives with our performance build and these synchros.
as we turn up the boost we will quickly find what breaks at what levels before we put in the aftermarket gearset for further testing.
