Hello all,

My car is reaching just about that time when I need all fluids replaced.

If anyone can post up a link to the writeup about replacing these fluids:

1. Brake Fluid
2. Power Steering Fluid
3. Clutch Fluid


Now these are prob self explanitory and I'm quite sure I can figure it out. But we all know we want to take extra precautions. especialy when this is our daily driver cars. I want to double check.

Coolant, trans, and rear diff are pretty much easy

 

For the brake and clutch fluid I believe they are dry similar.

I may be wrong but for the clutch you need to remove the intake to get to the slave then open the bleeder valve and keep pumping while you add new fluid.

The brakes are the same thing except you need to do it 4 times.



Your basically bleeding both systems

Not sure on power steering fluid

 

what I was going to do....
for the clutch- remove line from slave cylinder.. let it drain out......then re-attach. now is a good time to install my stainless steel braided lower line.... then bleed from nipple on the slave cylinder.

brake ----- remove line to calipers... ( dont spill fluids on then) install my stainless steele braided lines. fill.. reservoir...then bleed (two nipples per caliper) I have the bleeding order somewhere.

Power steering- remove hose from under reservoir.. drain.. then re-attach and fill... then turn on car and turn wheel backn forth a bunch of times......


both systems share the same reservoir but cannot be bleeded together...

 

Whats the best fluids to use for the transfer case and transmission in a Evo IX MR 6 speed tranny. Im buying my first evo hopefully this weekend and i want to change the fluids right away. He said everything has been using Mitsubishi fluids for all driveline parts. I want to put good stuff in it so the tranny will last long as possible

 

^The best stuff you can put in would be OEM Diaqueen.

 

this thread would be very helpful!

 

When bleeding the brakes you should start with the caliper that is furthest from the Brake Fluid Reservoir and work towards the closest caliper. So: Passenger Rear to Driver Rear to Passenger Front to Driver Front.

 

im about to do that too, some concern.

 

Search. There are write ups in the how to sections.

 

Diaqueen better than amsoil? I switched from diaqueen to amsoil ? Ive been running severe gear for over a year. 131k+ on my drivetrain and everything runs smooth. Little more expensive I imagine but I consider it cheap insurance or good preventative maint. I replace fluids every 15-20k because I do light to moderate driving
