My Clutch Install Story w/ pics
Well i have found that BG or Penzoil Syncromesh is best in the tranny and Redline best in the TC and Dif. I have heard some bad storys about using the Redline in the tranny but hey some people like it so take that the way you want. For the TC and Dif make sure you use the HEAVY Redline.
Ya before you start the car make sure it goes into all the gears and depending how he disconnected the clutch cylinder you might not need to bleed the clutch. But anyway push in the clutch a couple times and make sure it feels alright. Im guessing you installed a new TOB so im hoping he installed that the right way becouse if not you will not be a happy person!
Double check all your connections ocnce agian and make sure the to turn the key over and let the fuel pump pressurize the line and make sure there are no leaks in the fuel line connections.
Once done give it a start and you should be good to go. OH and basically you have around a 500 mile break in period so get the car to a welder and have them fix that piece if you decide to. No hard clutch drops and no slipping the clutch. I didnt even run throught the gears hard afer i installed mine. Anyway GOOD LUCK!

After running Redline in my tranny for about a year, I'd say Redline 'finally' likes to be 'nice' with syncros once it warms up. A warmup on a summer day is about 10 min. A warmup on a winter day, is about 30 to 45min. Until that point, I really try to baby the tranny. Is it better than stock? Slightly ... but ... I think I'm going to try BG or Pennz. in the near future.

how do i know if i need to bleed the clutch? will the clutch feel diff or something? ... ya i installed the TOB myself and made sure it was right. Not sure if i got the HEAVY redline, does it matter if its the regular redline 75w90?
o man.. not another "what fluid should i use" thread. this guy has plenty else to worry about without us barking our opinions on what fluid he should use. He's got enough to worry about.
Just put the stock fluid in there, and hope you don't have real problems from the clutchjob.
You can do your research on the board later to find out what fluids are best. There are a number of threads on that topic...

ive ready countlessly on what fluids are for the evo. But its many diff opinions...some people love redline, some say its barely better than stock, some say the 75w90 have killed the TC, some say they love it in the TC, its just all diff words flying around

Just get that baby running again, and put an end to this thread. It's the scariest thing i've ever read.
ooh i am not gonna take an hour changling fluids i know that. I've read the how to and what not on how to get it done correct and in a good amount of time. Dont wanna get a oil pump so just gonna run a hose and a funnel. I understand tranny is lil under 3qts and tc and rear diff is like .58qts. anyways, yea i prefer just running the heavy gear oils in the tc/rear diff
believe me, thats all i want right now....have the car running. So far looks A-OK! but never know...so will see what happens and pray the outcome wasnt as bad as the beginning. :brings a priest to bless the Evo before i start her up:
A pump is just a few bucks from your local autoparts store. I'm not sure how you're going to get fluid into your transfer case through a hose and funnel. Think about how much fluid you're going to waste by trying the funnel and hose method and ask yourself if the few bucks you're saving by not getting a pump is worth it.
