Neon t-case fluid?
Andrew and I were doing my fluids today (did em all, thanks a ton Andrew)
And the fluid that we drained from the tcase was a vibrant neon blue type color, and the rear diff was the normal, but dirty gold/oil type.
I was under the impression that my fluids have never been changed, has anyone ever seen a fluid like this?
Some metal shavings in the tcase/trans... nothing major and just small shavings no chunks so hopefully its ok
happy evo today!

Better, we did the tcase/front diff, trans, rear diff and coolant. I used that coolant that i bought from you a few months ago. My coolant was almost black, and smelled like death.
2nd gear is still 'notchy' but never really heard it grind. There were 0 crystals in the tcase, a good amount in the trans, and some in the rear diff.
Was an awesome day though... feels good to get it done!

That's what was in the t-case :-/
It wasn't near as thick as the DiaQueen either, but it wasn't too diluted with wear, so here's to hoping it wasn't in there too long....
Also, we tipped the car quite a bit when we filled it, just like you mentioned to me a few months ago when I did mine.
Side note, the rear diff held about .3qt more fluid than I anticipated, and read that it held.

Derek, not sure if damage was caused but it sounds like the fluid was less than ideal for your car's use.
I told you it was easy to do it all, right?
