You can also put GM Syncromesh in if your syncros are grinding and you can't get things fixed under warranty... it made all the gear grinding in 3rd gear in my old VW go away and is commonly used across various makes and models to solve grinding.

I'm partial to redline shockproof lightweight. I used it in my STI and all synchros were happy and it's so thick, I felt the risk of slamming gears and high rpm clutch drops wasn't nearly what it used to be.
