Transmission fluid
 

Was thinking of flushing and changing my transmission fluid in my 06 ralliart just had a couple questions on what is the best fluid i should use thanks.

Factory.

Should say in my owners manual right?

Diaqueen sp3 if im not mistaken.

Is it an easy diy thing to do? Just common handtoolw right? Nothing extreme

Yea just hand tools.
It should be a 15/16 or 24mm wrench to drain. I could be wrong.

You can drain it and measure how many quarts you drianed so you can fill it back in with exactly what you removed.

Or start with 2.5 quarts, start engine, let it get to operating temp, switch the transmission through the available gears. I.e go from park to reverse.drive.neutral.drive.shiftronic.

While in the different gear positions leave shifter for 5 seconds in each position.

Shift back to park and check level. If level is low add fluid accordingly and repeat the Gear position preocedure.

Note: If adding fluid and not moving through the gears you will get a HIGH inaccurate level.

Thanks a lot appreciate the help!

BG Synchroshift II works fantastic in 04-06 Ralliarts. Amsoil/Redline is great as well.

I just ordered 3qts of the Redline MT-90 for mine... if you want I can let you know how it goes...

Definitely let me know how it goes

Factory Mitsu oil. Read this: https://www.jackstransmissions.com/pages/oil

this is true...




however if you choose to use aftermarket oil, don't use amsoil :lol:


I've had good results with redline...

Will do. Just got my order today... Shipping took forever...


I'll knock it out this weekend and update your thread!


Glad you still support Redline! I made my purchase based of a few older threads I read which you and a couple others recommended it.

Got a chance to do the change on Sunday and overall I can say there was defiantly a positive change! I still have a few issues that I was hoping would go away w/ fluid change but they stuck around unfortunately... However I would still recommend doing the job and using that particular fluid.
