I'm at about 14k miles. Would it be beneficial to change out my diff and tranny fluids now? Also, when changing the diff fluid, is there only 1 diff for an Evo? Sorry, I don't really know a lot about these cars, I am used to my G35.

yes change the tranny,transfercase(wich are a problem on these cars)and the rear diff. when these drivetrain components break in they tend to shead more metal.

Which type of Redline fluid for Tranny, Transfercase and Rear Diff and how many quarts for each? BTW, its a IX MR.

I am assuming there are DIY's for each of those fluid changes in the DIY section?

Never put shockproof in the tranny. Only use Diaqueen in the xfer and rear diff.

this is what i would do,you could do whatever you want. a mix of 2 qts readline mt90 & 1 bg snycroshift 2(the bg syncroshift thins it out a little because mt90 is like maple syrup). then 1qts mt90 for the transfercase & 1qts mt90 for the rear diff. theres a good diys tranny fluid change on evomoto.com and the tcase and diff are on the fourms.

I was going to buy the fluids straight off redlineoil.com since i can't really find a vendor selling both

The fluids are... 2 quarts Redline MT-90 75W90 GL-4
1 quart Redline MTL 70W80 GL-4

yeah?
