Hi GUYS,

Have you MPS Gen 1 owners, noticed how crunchy these gearboxes are?

is there any reason behind it?

whats the best oil you would use to smoothen this out?>

Yes. This is the biggest downfall to the car in my opinion.

I have replaced my gearbox fluid with Penrite SYN 75w90. Improved a fair bit, but still not great.

yeah... the gearbox is built for toughness, not smoothness... unfortunately
