The stock TC and rear diff fluid is Mitsubishis Diaqueen. You can only get it from online stores and dealers from my understanding. As far as the tranny goes go with whatever you like. I just put in the Mobil 1 stuff and I like it thus far. Smooth shifting, consistant feel. BGsynchroshift, Penzoil syncromesh, and Redline are also good choices. Get any of those.

To be honest i'm not sure what they use for stock tranny fluid. As for the diaqueen, theres only 1 kind to my knowledge. Just tell them you need duaqueen multigear oil for an 03 evo. The transfer case doesn't take much, not does the rear diff. The tranny takes 3 quarts. If you'd like to stick with oem, ask them for the oem stuff, but i'm almost sure you can get better fluid for cheaper. (dont quote me on that though)

I bought my diaqueen and syncromesh fluids at lancershop.com. You can order it directly from there. I believe they have two types of diaqueen, one for MR and one for non MR.

alright, well like I said, put in whatever you like, if you like stock fluid, put in stock fluid. Good luck with the change.

If you do buy it from the dealer make sure you buy the whole can that says DIAQUEEN directly on the can. There have been some members who went to the dealer and got fluid in an unmarked jug which turned out not to be diaqueen fluid. What was upsetting was the dealer stated it was diaqueen when it wasn't

I'll look at my diaqueen can when I get home and Ill get you the part number. I have an 03 evo. As for the transmission fluid use the bg syncroshift for fwd transmissions. I bought mine here http://www.prostreetonline.com/buy/bg_synchroshift/
