My friend has the same issue and his car is even worse. He tried Motul Gear 300, it made it worst. He went with MT90 at the end and issue still not fixed.

Anyone tried any fluids that work ?
The Redline is 75w-90 and the Pentosin MTF-2 is 75w-80.
The Pentosin has had some rave reviews in these threads for solving syncro problems, especially cold.
Why not give that a go and let us know how it works out?
