HAHA it doesnt seize at 70 it feels like your car is braking extremeley hard 30 times as it shears off every tooth on the ring and pinnion as you come to a complete stop on the side of the road and then it locks up. Tow truck driver has to either slide it on the bed or put those wheel things under all 4 tires to get it on the flat bad HAHA

What about turning the steering wheel both sides and steping lightly on the gas? Isn't that necessary?

WHAT?! The car better be off I hope to god...or are you referring to steering both side to side to drain your power steering pump?
And stepping on the gas? All that does is open your throttle body valve.... that has NOTHING to do with your Transfer case

well it shouldnt. i did it knowing what was gonna happen. basically on purpose just because i was pissed off. The tcase sounds like shaking allot of metal sockets in an aluminum box for about 10 miles and very loud before it decides to start sheering off the teeth and locking up. Its a pretty strong unit HAHA

Well it does sound weird about turning the steering, but the point is most TCs break because of either oil related such as wrong oil usage, low oil level, not proper bleeding process, etc.. or hard launches.

I am confused here, are we talking about the TC or the ACD? because I know the ACD needs bleeding (all that steering turning and all) but the TC, like mentioned earlier, just needs to be filled with new fluid, like a regular oil change, but on the TC (or are any of you guys "bleeding" the engine too? haha j/k)

personally, i think our evo trannys are POS. and for ppl like myself, whose syncros are always grinding between shifts and stuff, we just need to rebuild ours. ppl with 6sp in other hand, just out of luck. hopefully buschur does something with those ****ty 6speeds.

You have to bleed the TC, at least thats what my dealer told me. Theres some air left inside some piping/part that goes a bit over the tcase's filling hole thats gonna stay there if you dont push it out. At least thats for the Tcase with the ACD, I dont know about normal ones...

...and btw my dealer has a rally team with 5 evos from VI to X (3 of them are IX MR) so they know ALOT about these cars.

We changed the oil on my brother's TC a couple months ago without bleeding it and he ended up with the whinning sound of death and the dealership told us it was missing oil when they opened the tcase and asked us if we bleed the thing and we didnt..

Never heard of bleeding your transfer case. You have to bleed the ACD when changing your clutch, etc but not when just changing your TC fluid. If you ended up with gear death after changing your fluid you didn't put enough in.

Go there http://www.***************/forums/sh...t=16788&page=3 and look at the part with the service manual. Bleeding IS required for the Tcase.

It is for a EvoX but none the less, required.

Now, I would guess that many of you have had repetitive problems because of that ?

Just correct me if im wrong

I have the evo 9 service manual, and it does not mention one bit about any TC bleeding procedure, it just says to drain old fluid, pour new one in until full and done. No bleeding at all, not on the Mitsubishi Evo 9 service manual.
