MTL was used. Had similar issues last time I ran it, sticky engagement from synchros, especially bad when cold.
Read a while back CSG had a special sauce mix with redline and motul gear 300. I had a bottle of the motyl gear so figured I'd run that. I will say so far shifts much smoother than they have been in a while.

The sticky downshift from 6-5 is gone and high rpm uoshifts from 3-4 are gone. I'll take it!

I'm just committed to a wrap if/when I get off-street parking someday.

I would lose my mind parking on street all the time . I'm paranoid enough at work with people who can't park properly.

Snapped a photo of it this morning sitting pretty. I'm so OCD it needs a minor paint correction to fix body shop woes and scratching from PDR work. Quarter panel and door were re cleared and look good minus way to much texture/orange peel on lower door.




Sidenote.. should I postpone alignment with new trailing arm and MCA coming soonish? MCA says it shouldn't effect alignment but if ride height changes then it in theory will?
