Tranny fluid this, tranny fluid that. Blah blah.
Whatever it takes to keep my car on the road...I don't see much point in having a car that does nothing but take up garage space.

Because they involve some effort....

Good luck with the trans Kevin. That sucks a lot. All you can really do is rebuild it and move along again. Thanks for reminding me why I don't like dsms anymore.

I hope that's not directly directed towards me or my cars, because I'm sure one of my car(s) have had more miles on the road (in a year), than your evo's had in it's entire ownership with you.

Its directed towards anyone questioning the maintenance I perform on my cars, including you or anyone else. These cars break enough on their own, there is no reason to skimp on something so cheap and easy as drivetrain fluids.

Not true, I'm sure if he wasn't messing it wouldn't have broken. Their owners break them, then others find reasons as to why it broke... like tranny fluid.

Power and beating/racing/driving cars aggressively will wear a car's drivetrain out, all you can do is fix it when it breaks.

That's what I thought. People bad-mouth Mitsu but if you beat on any car then it's going to break, whether that's from the high temps of road course or the jolt of a 1/4 mile run.

People just don't mod their family sedans or drive them that way. I've had stock clutches last over 100k miles on more than one car. How many Evo VIII's have their original clutches right now?

Mine has the original clutch and with 45k on it now, and I'm sure i drive harder then most people do.

That's cool. How much power have you added over stock?

Min lasted 38k: 21k miles stock, 9k miles@266whp/240wtq, 8k miles @305-320whp/300-320wtq, and about 10 parking lot launches. The parking lot launches are what ultimately killed it. I drive aggressive too, but ultimately, launching kills stock clutches faster than anything else.

I gotta say though, I didn't realize that 4th gear on DSMs pooped out at 400wtq. Suck.
