Could be different. Well, it's definitely different, but could be different in a way as to affect this significantly. I mean, the center diff is even moved out into the transfer case... Which is good. Maybe the damn tranny will be a little lighter this time. :-)

As for a meet, let's do it! I have two kids, though, so it makes my schedule a little crazy to work around. I'm sure we can work something up, though. Ever down this way? I work just north of Baltimore, if that helps get us a little closer.

[edit]Sorry, I just realized at least the last part is significantly off topic. I'll PM instead.[/edit]

Your not meeting anyone Dorris. You need to finish Version 2 of DSMLink. Get back in the cellar. My money paid for that damn Evo.

(any chance of a EVO DSMLink?)

 

They are different among other this the engine is mounted 180 degrees oppsote from the DSM cars.

Hi Erick,

I understand that. The first time you check the oil, you figure it out.

My poorly worded statement was noticing that there is a wide variety of opinions concerning shifting the transmission between EVO's. The opinions are of course relative to each drivers experience and I wonder how much of the perception is an actual difference in the transmissions and/or driver experience. I hope a few of us will be getting together in the next couple of weeks and get a hands on idea of the differences being noted.

Awsome Review SuperZ

 

I will switch back to Mobil 1 at about 7-9000 miles. When I say that the upshift 1-2 grinds, Im talking about full gas redline-let off gas- engauge clutch-shift technique. No powershifting. There's been times when the gear drops in normal, but a few times she was crunching and grinding. Oh, one more thing I forgot was the crappy mileage. I seriously need to have a one-on-one with my EVO, I think she isn't aware of the gas price curently . Its the price one pays for a high strung automobile

 

I realize this too. Is there a design flaw? Think some other kind of synthetic trans fluid would fix this problem or more milage

Well, at least we can powershift our cars unlike WRX.

 

Can you define powershift for me? Maybe I'm not realizing what this is.

 

Here is a link that describes it: http://66.96.130.106/archives/2002/0...ft/index.shtml

Really it's simple though. It is basically leaving the pedal to the floor, pulling shifter and engage/diengage clutch as fast as possible.

 

Basically keep it WOT while shifting. Don't listen to bs like not using the clutch. Those are drag trans with syncro removed. Still I advise using the clutch with those trans. The trick is to shift asap, Usually takes up 400 rpms if done extrememly quickly. For example if i powershifted from 1-2 @6500 RPM's as soon as i depress the clutch shift and engauge the clutch hopefully i could do it at around 68-6900 rpms. If your a slow shifter or miss a gear, over-rev is likely but once done correctly i've gained 2 tenth off my ET on the drag with my mustang.

TO put it short your dumping it at near redline everytime you shift to cover the time it takes to shift. Very consisant times for braket racing. . Not that heathy for the trans, then again my Mustang GT handled 100 passes shifting like that and was still running fine.

**Just read the post above mine. has pictures to illustrate and everything **

Ahh, this trans shifts slow and doesn't like to be rushed. I also wished they will make a hurst shifter for our cars. I've never missed a gear on a Hurst yet!

 

Wouldn't it be 90 degrees opposite?

 

If you use mineral oil during your break in period make sure you change it before 1500 miles. Reason Mitsu choose Mobil 1 was to protect from turbo coking and to reduce oil change frequency requirement. Mineral oil will be okay but you have to change the oil much more frequently.

Becareful, If damage to turbo is found to be oil related the repair is not covered under warranty... In fact, Mitsu even had the EPA certifiy the engine to REQUIRE (not just recommend) Fully Syntheic oil.

 

oil will be changed every 1500 miles or less . Its just for my break in.

 

any tips on how i can not ****in stall everytime i wanna drive my evo lol. (i dont know how to drive stick really)

 

Your name should be "The Evo Stalls".
