hmm.. Then why do MR's require a special fluid poured into the diff that's 3 times more expensive than the regular diff fluid that all the non-MR's use?

The fluid for the rear diff on both cars - samo.

only the 6 speed trans uses special fluid

MR's are 6-speed, thats why i asked why the MR diff fluid is more expensive if its the same exact diff as the one on a non-MR (5-speed)

Okay, lets start over. I assume we are talking about the rear differential all the way through this thread??????

The expensive MR fluid mentioned goes into the trans not the rear Diff it is meant for the MR's 6 Speed but can be used on the 5 speed cars as well.

Rear Diff and TC in all EVO's take the Standard Diaqueen LSD SAE 90

I think you are confused about where the rear diff. is located. It is in the rear of the car and drives the rear wheels. It is the same in all American Evos.
Uses the same fluid, GL5 75/90. The manufacture lists the same for all models.
