Hard to figure out what to put in this car. One post will be for brand XXX and the next post will bash brand XXX.

GM synchromesh.... the best.. i used to use it when i worked for GM felt better than every other fluid... butter smooth

BG is nice but as a fully synthetic it is alot thinner ans while it does shift smooth it doesnt protect the gears as good as say the Mt-90 or the GM...

To each his own... I have used BG, MT-90 and the GM and i by far liked the GM the best. Mt-90 second

I've used synchromesh since my Evo VIII and the first week it is always great shifting, after that it goes to crap again. That's why I am looking for something new. Hopefully the BG II will be better, if not Diaqueen here I come.

if you mix up 2 quarts of Mt-90 with a quart of MTL of the GM stuff that is good also.

Would like to meet the rest of you that are driving around town. Hopefully we can make this happen soon. Chime in if you are in the area, Ben.
You mean me? lol! I still only have a Lancer, but got a new paint job if you have seen me rollin around. I'm sure you'd still like to chill, but I just hope none of you are some of those snobby EVO owners. I'd like to think that the people from this area are cool. I did see a guy with a "money" metallic green paint job and carbon fiber hood out by the air station a few weeks ago. Actually, if I can get my cash right and pay off some bills, I'm gonna try to eitherget a IX, X, or an 09 Ralliart sinceit will be awd and turboed now ( ~230hp). Not sure what I'm gonna do yet though, needa house first cause Piney Green is startingto irk me and especially when they start to widen it. I prolly won't see many of you until the spring though!

Ben sorry about not getting back with you. The wife has been keeping me busy. I just checked my Super Diaqueen I and if I remember correctly your tranny take 2.8qts? If that's right I wouldn't have enough for you tranny. Sorry bro. I do however have enough diaqueen for your center and rear diffs. If you want or need to change them.

That's cool, my wife has been keeping me busy too. Christmas stuff went up today. Don't worry about the tranny fluid, I'll give the BG II a shot and see how I like it. I also have a hook up at Mitsu (parts manager) and even though they buy in bulk he will let me bring in a gallon jug and let me fill up with whatever fluid I need and only charge me at the employee rate which is 10% above dealer cost. So just let me know when you need some fluids again. We can buy enough for both of our cars.
