Redline oil is the best you will get for a gearbox. Its horrible stuff, green and stinks but sticks like #%$^ to a blanket. Used to use it in a road racing WRX STI which regularly chewed the dogbox to pieces until we did. Went from about 5 boxs per season to a 12 month overhaul with redline oil. That was when it was not restricted (1032kg with driver, 450BHP at the wheels and 570nm of torque on elf fuel but we found better fuel later ). It would spin all 4 wheels as it came onto the boost in 5th .
