Anybody use Redline Lightweight Shockproof? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

hmong337 · 03-20-2015, 01:01 AM

Anybody use this? I run it in my mr2 and I swear by it as do countless other owners. It completely transformed my e153 10000%!

I think Element tuning run this fluid in their racecar from what I've searched.

But has anybody ran LWSP in our 6mt? I want to freshen my gearbox fluid for the season and want to try something new. I currently have Motul 300v in there.

Was also thinking of trying Redline Super Lightweight Shockproof as it is closer rated to our 6mt fluid rating (75w90).

I used to use it exclusively in my Rx7 race cars, but I would be hesitant to run it in our car since it's not GL4 certified and it won't be friendly with the syncros. Shockproof is basically a calcium slurry. The calcium is suspended in the fluid and reduces shock on hard shifts. It's best suited for dog boxes.

I swear by Redline lubricants but their shockproof attacks brass syncros. I know first hand.
For dogboxes only. Although I have been considering it for the diff.

I've been using it for about a year. Still haven't popped a trans yet lol.

Redline has gl4 rated fluid, it works well.

They do! But, shockproof is not one of them.

Is that why element tuning runs a mix of shockproof and something else? I'm assuming to get more wear and tear out of their syncros.

Obviously, that's been covered. All I was saying was that the other fluids, MT90 and the like, work well.
