Yeah shifts perfectly fine, drives fine, it's just that whining noise
I didn't do the cocktail, but I did refresh with Torco less than a month ago and it does it less, but still does it. Only on 2-3 upshift mainly, sometimes also on downshift even when rev matching. None of the other gears are crunchy.
Shifts fine though? That might not be your trans, might be your diff. Bad news, it costs about the same. When my WRX was whining like that, it was the center diff. Might be worth having a shop diagnose before you drop big funds on one thing and it turns out to be something else.

I just posted a review for TrackSpec Autosports in Fremont - seriously an awesome shop. They could definitely help you diagnose the issue then fix whatever the problem turns out to be.
Give them a call and ask for Jon - 1 (510) 403-1161

You might consider swapping over to the "band aid" cocktail, it has worked for me (its not a fix however)
2 quarts redline HEAVYweight (the red stuff)
1.8 quarts Motul
The motul is in there to keep the redline from foaming up as it gets hot. Works well, it gave me back some less "crunchy" shifts tell I can find the transmission I am looking for.
TY757VBAAB or if I can luck out big time a TY754VB1CA but that is a dream transmission made of unobtainum.
