Hard to beat the price and shipping of Amazon IMO.
I switched the fluid mostly because I had problems with it grinding when I shifted into 4th and 5th at higher RPMs and I wanted to see if it would improve my gas mileages. This may be considered bad shifting, but I liked to quickly get up to speed through 1st and 2nd and then skip to 5th for cruising. The VW's mechanics seemed perplexed that I would skip 3rd and 4th and they said the linkage was normal.
I wanted to put GM's synchromesh in it, because I've had good luck with it in my last two 5 speeds but my mechanic (non-VW) refused to put anything but stock spec fluid. I believe this is what we settled on. It must of been a good choice because it's still in there after 100K more miles.
On my NB2 with the Tochigi Fuji Super LSD it made a bit of noise when i got it. Upon removing the drain plug i found two of these tabs. I drained the old fluid and replaced it with this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ONZXPK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it quieted down substantially. These LSD's are clutch-type so even if those tabs all come off, the LSD will still partially work simply from fluid passing over the clutch, better than an open diff anyway. The other good thing is that the clutch tabs are nowhere near as hard as the gears, so they probably won't cause a catastrophic failure of the diff. I've put 20,000 miles on the diff since i found those tabs. No problems so far. Can still do two wheel peels.
