AMS Tranny Fluid Update
So some of you will remember that 3 weeks ago I put Mobile1 gear oil in my tranny. At $16/quart I figured it would be great, but the car shifted like crap and would not go into gear untill the engine/oil was warm. I swapped to AMSOIL on Friday and the car shifts like it was new. 
to AMSOIL. Its a bonus that in our car it only takes about 15minutes to do. I did a Mazda once and it took 2 hours.

Two thumbs up for Amsoil, been running it in my MT and motor for over a year, love it. There are MT oil change instructions on here somewhere -- sorry, I had a scan of the bolts to remove but I 86'd it. Moda_way sent it to me a year or so ago.
You can get a terrific service manual at Helm Inc. worth the price if you're gonna work on the car yourself.

Some clubrsx guys swear that it ate up their gears/synchros.
