TC/Diff/Clutch Fluid.

Been searching all morning my research has told me change regularly every 15K miles. Is this right? It has also recomended diaqueen for the fluids (OEM), is there any reason why they are better? (Was not able to find all this information when searching, sorry for the repost).

Also, main reason i want to change the clutch fluid is I get gear lock out on reserve and 2nd if I go to a high RPM in first. Is this the right course of action? or is this something with the bushings or syncros?

Thanks.


PS: We should probably sticky the correct information on this. Anyone with me on this? (If posted already, just reply with the link.)

are you still on the stock clutch? if so you may want to try adjusting your pedal and see if that helps http://evomoto.com/tech_info.php?tec...23acc502510fe1

I would recommend to use all OEM fluid. Some people perform all fluid changes every 10-20K miles. This all depends on how hard you drive the car. I would think every 15K miles would be fine unless your tracking/running the car hard all the time.

I had the same issue.

Adjusted the pedal and no more high rpm lock out.

I change my tcase and rear diff fluid every 5K and tranny every 15k. The tcase fluid seems to need changing more often then the rest of the drivetrain.

I just changed all fluids on sunday for the second time @ 30k on the clock. Used oem diaqueen for the t-case and rear. Redline MT90 in my tranny.
I change out my fluids @ 15k.
