The funny and ironic thing is that i did toast it. From 2-3 i grind a little dispite full clutch and solid engagement. How much does that cost f=to replace one or all? Switching tomorrow to RP Syncroshift.

I use Royal Purple for my 04 RA 5 speed.... Great stuff! I noticed a difference when I changed it over the first time. Since then shifting has been buttery goodness. I use RP for engine oil as well. Yes it IS expensive ($8) per quart or so, but less wear and tear on engine parts is a big deal to me.

so what would be the definitive answer, it seems everyone says something different, is royal purple better than oem? probably, but i would make sure you put the right stuff in, its a costly repair if you dont.

At 30K I had the dealer change my tranny fluid, so I assume they used the Mitsubishi fluid. At 60K, I swapped in the Pennzoil stuff (cheap from Pep Boys), and thought the shifting improved a bit. Not mind-boggling great, but better than before.
