Just looking to see what most Evo owners prefer in their tranny/diff. I'm having a hard time shifting into gears in the cold mornings and I'm not sure the shop that did my clutch put in the right fluid (Although they claim they did.)Its almost impossible to shift into reverse. I'm changing my fluid this weekend and would like some opinions on what to use . I've heard good things about gm's syncro mesh and a few others.. but am not sure if I should just put the mitsu fluid in it. Thx for the opinions guys

 

you mean trany fluid no?redline mt90 is in my trany, and in my diff is,redline heavyshockproof.

 

I have BG syncroshift in the trans and DiaQueen in the Diffs.

 

You will hear differing opinions on this. The most common used are Redline, BG, GM and Penzoil. Just make sure you get the right rated fluid for the Evo transmission.


I would call the shop and ask them what fluid they used.

 

I emailed Shep@shepracing.com and he told me the redline MT90 is what he likes for the transmission and ONLY the stock fluids for the transfer case and rear diff.

Thats according to Shep and he's the man, so there ya go!!!

I run water with a little balsamic viniger.

 

I heard KY jelly does really well, and if you want to spend a little extra money the warming sesations actually free's up a few HP
