Redline is used by Shep, who builds all the drivetrains for the most known high HP evos.

Also If you dont have the gigantic socket for the drain bolt in your socket set you are screwed. Good luck with a crecent wrench.

your thinking of YAW control, yes USA dont have that in the pre evo X. But we do have ACD which is Active Center Differential.

tc, trans, and rear diff changed normally. As easy as loosening any bolt

Thanks for the Kudo's...

I have been switching quite a few over to AMSOIL fro Redline the last few months... Been receiving very good reviews as far as smoother shifting immediately, especially when cold..

I recommend using OEM fluids for your transfer cases and using Redline MT90 for your transmission.

I can't believe you don't have a socket large enough to undo your transmission fluid bolt. I guess I just accumulated a lot of tools through the years.

I can think of 1 use for 24mm socket. It is enough of a reason to have one.

My socket set included the 24mm socket so I guess I bought the right one. You got to love Craftsman.

I use OEM in mine and I think a few people with built trans use the Super Diaqueen in their transmissions, which is the stock 6 speed fluid.

I would much rather have a socket over the hex key.
