Ask the shop monkeys what kind of fluid they put in your transfer case. Ask them if they bled the transfer case. Then ask them what fluid they used. Despite what the shop says, make sure you check to see if there is any fluid in your transfer case, and if there is, replace it with OEM fluid (or a synthetic equivalent) and be sure to bleed the system as well. Lesson learned, don't take your Evo to a shop who has no idea what an Evo is.

I thought the 3 lights meant a dead ACD pump, I could be wrong.

OKAY! folks after doing a oil change on my car and asking about the clutch job they did i learned 3 things!

1. the shop said they have no idea what the ACD is and they did NOT flush or no fluid came out
2. oil filter wrenches from my local kragen's sucks!
3. the ATF SPIII is completely drained out, assuming it was that shop but they were just lying or something! what do i put in there?! sorry i know im a super noob but better to ask and learn then to fail later.

Air in your ACD lines, ACD not working properly.

This is why you have Evo Experts work on the Evo.
