For those of you who bought a used evo
Do yourself a favor and change the tranny fluid right away. Bought mine used, just changed the fluid. I never seen so many metal particals in my life. I couldnt even see the drainplug it was so covered. Its cheaper to do a change, and have a peace of mind, than having to replace. Dame the person before me could not drive.

i have heard that even if you have an evo and you dont abuse the tranny it wouldnt hurt to at least look at the fluid at about 10K miles. i have heard it can be nasty. never heard of a problem with it, just that there can be some particles in there.
