You know that I used the shockproof myself, that is until I found this spectro platinum for the 6 speeds and tried it. I used the spectro oil in the trans years back before they came out with the GL5 and I liked it back then compared to other gear oils.
Since then I have been running the shockproof heavy and thought it was great in the trans as a gear oil. The new spectro surpasses shockproof even for smoothness and ease of finding neutral. Biggest improvement is in the cold weather with the spectro. I found that the shockproof in colder temps would take a short while before warming up to actually flow so that shifting on startup wasn't hard.
The spectro is red in color too so it won't be a drastic change in color to get use to.
Take a look here for more info. They have a GL1 for 5 speeds also.
