I will be doing a clutch job in the very near future here, and while I am doing that I figured I would change out all of my fluids. I was wondering what you guys recommend for the Trans, Tcase, and Rearend.

Also would you recommend that I flush my ACD while I am at it?

For trannies, Straight Redline MT-90. For cars with cold shifting issues use a Redline MT-90/MTL mix. Start with Redline MT-90 and add progessively more Redline MTL till it shifts nice.

For the transfer case use Redline Heavyweight Shockproof here in So Cal.

For the rear diff use the Redline 75/90 Gear Oil.

EVO 8/9 Fluid Capacities:

Engine Oil (w/filter) 4.5 qts
Manual Transmission 2.9 qts
Transfer CaseĀ* .58 qt
Rear Differential .58 qt
Cooling System 7.4 qts

^probably not.... He just knows how to use the search function.

I think he got it from the "how to change all driveline fluids" thread.

Search? What is that.

Here is the thread for anyone else that would like to know.

From my answer in the other thread HOW TO: Change ALL DRIVELINE FLUIDS


For trannys, Straight Redline MT-90 gives the best protection. For cars with cold shifting issues use a Redline MT-90/MTL mix. Start with Redline MT-90 and add progessively more Redline MTL till it shifts nice. You need to buy three quarts.

For the transfer case use Redline Heavyweight Shockproof here in So Cal. You need to buy one quart.

For the rear diff use the Redline 75/90 Gear Oil. Race cars use Shockproof with LSD additive. You need to buy one quart.

Shockproof is not for the transmission.

EVO 8/9 Fluid Capacities:

Engine Oil (w/filter) 4.5 qts
Manual Transmission 2.9 qts
Transfer Case .58 qt
Rear Differential .58 qt
Cooling System 7.4 qts

Where to buy it? www.roadraceengineering.com in Santa Fe Springs, CA of course :-)
