Can you elaborate on that please, like how well does it shift compared to oem fluids, how long does it last, how much (more or less) protection does it offer, how does the transmission shift when cold with the Motul, how does it shift when the fluids get warmed up?
Were you able to bring your car to the track and really give the tranny a test?
Thanks

I change all driveline fluids 1-2x/yr (all motul) depending on the number of track days the car sees. No metal has ever come out nor has the fluid changed much, if at all, in color.
I have not compared Motul to other fluids in the Evo as I have in Audis and VWs. Rather, after my testing in Audis and VWs, I decided to use Motul immediately. FWIW, AMSOIL is my second choice based on my tests from the past.
I don't believe I have read/heard of anyone yet blowing their 6 speed with the correct Motul fluid in it, anyone can comment to this point if they have heard otherwise.
Good luck-

Motul shows consistency through the spectrum of temperatures I see from the hoteest of northeast track days to the coldest winter weekend joyride. On cold days, there is a hint of notchiness shifting into second that goes away after 5 minutes of driving, I would tolerate this with any manual transmission however.

Wow, sounds good! I might give Motul a shot. How many miles did you put on the tranny fluid when you do change it, do you have a temp gauge for your tranny oil? What oil do you use in your transfer case, how often do you change that and what does the oil look like when you do change it?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Ave change has been about 5-6k miles. I do not have a temp gauge. The oil looks fine. I had some very fine (liquid) metal discharge from the rear diff on an early change but I would contribute that to normal w&t since it was a one time event and very limited.

I have the stock clutch - good as day 1.
All miles are highway/spirited or HPDE track miles.
