So was i due for a drivetrain flush and fill?

Here is the transmission drain plug


then clean:



Transfer case didn't look all that bad to tell you the truth:

before:



after:



Rear diff pre:

So i have had my evo since 16xxx miles in August 2004 (it is a 2003) now i have 68400 and i think this was the first flush and fill on the drive train. Well today she drives wonderfully. Silky smooth. I still have the stock OEM clutch and TC. Glad i finally did it. Used BG Syncroshift and Diaqueen (man that fills slow).

This is a very easy task, but one that you need patience for. I didn't use a pump and the rear-diff fills slow as a mug.

FYI the recommended time to do this is at 30k miles! My plugs looked like that @ 30k miles and I'm not even too hard on it! 37k miles on stock clutch FTW!

When i saw the shavings in the trans i almost **** my pants. So yeah it does feel good to get them outta there.

Yeah I was tooling around and realized that all those are recommended 15K-30K, so i am glad i didn't do any damage, but it is all street driving. And i am stock clutch at 68,400 FTW again.
