Thanks for the write up! Doing us all a favor here. Quick question: is it necessary to take the front bumper off, or can this be done without taking it off? I'll probably be bringing it to a shop with a lift to do it. Thanks again.

 

You can do it with the bumper on, taking it off made it easier to get to the trans cooler.

 

Thanks!

 

Anytime man just trying to help some members out

 

Very nice thanks for the how to

 

Your welcome

 

Mind telling us the price this will set us back?

 

Excellent write up! Thank you very much!
I had my mind set that it was going to cost big bucks to pay a shop to do this service but after reading this write up I am confident i could do this myself...

 

It's very easy here's the break Down on cost I got the fluid and filter from fredbeansparts.

SST fluid $107 a gallon
SST filter $140
Mineral oil (2 gallons) $30

 

What does it cost to have a dealership do it?

I know how to do this, but due to the fact that some of these transmissions fail, I want to make it as difficult as possible for Mitsubishi to deny anything.

 

My local dealer wanted to charge me close to 650

 

OUCH!

Maybe I should find a reputable independent transmissions shop, pay them to do it, and have their warranty.

 

It's really easy to do it yourself. Just take your time

 

Great man

Question : how many exactly liter of fluid you fill in the transmission ?
do you fill also the filter house with fluid ?

I put in the same amount I took out. And yes I filled the filter housing first before putting it back on.
