Evo 9 MR Transmission

Hey guys,

I was reading up on the evo 6spd transmission and i been seeing that it will break from 4th+ if it gets over heated? Heated" meaning, auto cross, or does long freeway trips also apply to this. Would luanching the car break the transmission easily(drag racing, and street racing)? I also know that the 6spd required more fluid maintenance then the 5spd correct?

I am wondering because i drive far distance daily(mostly freeway 30min-1hr drives) and i would hate to deal with a broken transmission.

Information would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!

first...we don't talk about street racing here

second...why would you be cruising at freeway speeds in forth gear

third...where did you hear the fluid maintenance thing

forth...search
