I just got my transmission, ACD and diff fluids changed by a good shop I know next to my house. I believe they used Redline for the transmission fluid.

After a couple days I noticed that everytime I try to make a turn while at a stop, the car sputters and shakes like no tomorrow. Never had a problem before. Doesn't matter if I'm making left or right turns, when I'm at a stop and taking a turn, the car sputters. Anyone encounter anything like this before? I'm taking it to the shop tonight, just wanted to post up and see if anyones had a similar problem before.

 

Yes mine does the same thing Eric at ams said its normal with redline due to the viscosity's of the oil they said to mix a little gm fluid to smooth it out i can live with it.

 

Use nothing but OEM fluids in your EVO. The wrong fluid could cause you to ruin a transfer case or rear diff. In your case it sounds like the rear diff is locking up because of the limited slip clutches sticking because they used the wrong fluid.

 

yea, i'm taking it back to the shop and they're going to flush it out and put OEM fluids back in.

 

should i expect any damage to result from this?

 

Definitely a possibility of permanent damage, actually there is probably a good chance something has been fubar'd. Time for a new transfercase!

 

My friend is on his third one.

 

It's GM LSD additive you want to add the rear diff 1.5 to 2 oz. I would describe the problem more like a chatter then a sputter.

 

question is it when u turn the steering wheel at stop? or when u try to pull off it does this?

 

we flushed out the aftermarket fluids and stuck OEM back in...problem solved.

it occurred whenever i was turning the wheel and making a turn at low speeds

 

oh well i get it when i am turning the steering wheel alone and i am not moving
