Don't do Scotty's Cocktail. I can't believe that thread is still up on the forums. I've worked on a few cars with the cocktail in it before. Each time I drain the fluid it comes out like a smurfberry milkshake of blue-green goop. Owners said it worked for a few hundred miles, then started shifting like crap. Grinding gears and difficult getting it in and out of gear.

I've also had the (mis)pleasure of meeting Uncle Scotty at a meet in Houston. He's one of the worst, arrogant assholes I've met in my life. He's tried to start more than a few fights at our meets over people's cars.

If you live in a warm weather climate I would suggest that you just use Subaru Extra-S. The dealer can order it in a 5 gallon drum for about $150 or you can buy it online in quarts from Fred Beans Subaru for around $15/quart. I say "warm weather climate" because Extra-S will want to be warmed up before it shifts smoothly. If it gets below freezing, you will notice difficulty getting it in and out of gear until the transmission warms up.

If you compete in motorsports or live in cold weather climates Motul 300 has been highly recommended. You can get Motul 300 at TurnInConcepts for about $20/quart:

Sorry, but Extra-S is available in 1 QT containers on Amazon. I've purchased them in the past, it's legit.

You can't fix it, but you can possibly make it better by experimenting with different fluids.

Extra S 75w-90 is Subaru's http://www.amazon.com/Subaru-75W90-Performance-Transmission-Fluid-1/dp/B007L6Q1EK?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0

There's that one cocktail I'd rather not refer to by name since I wouldn't promote it particularly.

I'd head over to NASIOC and read the 11ty posts made by a combination of smart people and complete idiots and see if you can make sense of it. I just bought ExtraS because I didn't feel like constantly draining and filling it in the name of science.
