Well I am officially the proud owner of my first 2003 lancer evo 8.

It has a brand new stage 2 transfer case, my question is how many miles do you reccomend to break it in?

Shep reccomends the first few hundred miles but what is your preference for safety?

 

John Shepherd is highly respected and the one who built your transfer case. I would follow his instructions. Instead of some dingle berry on the interwebs.

no offense

 

none taken I was just confused on a few hundred miles? is it what around 200-500?

 

I would say that sounds about right. Then a fluid change.

 

I would go with 300mi. to 500mi.

 

A few hundred... like 2-300 will be no problem it helps the gears mesh/wear into each other.... that's all it does, its not a big deal.

 

ok sounds good

i will research on what oil to use since im new to this transfer case deal

when I rev my car it makes this werr noise but kinda sounds like a vibration type does anyone know what im talking about? It has a new transfer case and a new clutch

 

this is the only fluid that should ever go in the t-case.

nice I will for sure get this before it breaks in

still confused on the noise though

 

I've seen guys put built transfer cases in and go straight to the track and run em....

 

what kind of clutch? these cars make a lot of funny drivetrain noises, even when 100% mechanically perfect.

 

i would do more then recommended always to be safe

 

does the noise your hearing sound anything like this? https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...ease-help.html

 

hate hearing those noises, even in videos..
