Just a bit of an update.

Just changed the SST fluids on the Evo with the Castrol Transmax Dual and ford filter. Assuming I sell off the other half of the 20L drum, total cost is around the $200 mark.

Car felt refreshed, no more sluggish shifts, no more clunks when you re-apply throttle, definitly a lot more responsive. Best $200 spent!

Will keep you guys updated on how the car goes.
I also have another 11L I will sell off for half of what I paid for.
Drained 7L out, I sort of put the 2L in and did a flush out, so used 9L all up.
So assuming you need 7L, you still have 4L of surplus.

Cheers

Did you 'run' the engine? / box with the 2l in?

Keep us updated on how it behaves too Bernie! :-D

I didn't run the engine, I've read a thread somewhere that you put mineral oil in and start it to do a proper flush. But I didn't opt for that way.
I thought I had the surplus anyways so just put in the 2L and drained it, not that it will do anything? haha

First drive to work in peak hour today:
- no more clunks when you lift off and reapply throttle
- no more SST vibration i've been having
- no more rev hunting i've been having!!
- no more sluggish shifts!!

box def feels a lot more responsive, and shifts like a twin clutch should!
Finally get to drive it like how an evo should be driven.
Would highly recommend people to change their fluids if they are due!!

I have the evox, and have started developing this rev hunt after I put on the catback. It then turned into some vibrations under acceleration up hill.

Very satisfied to the way it drives and shifts, smooth and fast.
