I just changed my tranfer case fluid this weekend and couldn't get enough fluid in the fill hole I had the car on a lift, and used a little less that half a quart before it over flowed. It just didn't seem right; i mean it looks like i hardly put anything in it.

If i recall the specs the TC should hold more fluid that the Rear diff, Right?

 

bumpy

 

The tranfer case takes .58 quart. The rear diff takes the same exact amount i believe.

 

anyone else?

 

Sounds about right

 

well either way i got more fluid in the rear diff than the Transfer case... so how do you explain that?

anyone please.

 

I had the same thing happen. I was worried I didnt have enough in there either because it started running back out the hole pretty soon after I started putting it in. I tried to fill it a couple more times to make sure but it just kept running out so I know it was full. This was about 2k miles ago with no problems so I guess it had to be right. Definetly seemed more went into the rear diff. I think you are ok.

 

Did you drive the car around before draining the fluid? You should drain the fluid out when its at least warm, although I cant see that being a huge factor. Im pretty sure both the rear and the TC take the exact same amount of fluid (.58 tq)

 

Alright, this is straight out of the Mitsu manual.

TC: .58qt GL-4
Rear diff: .58qt GL-5

 

thats what i was looking for.. thanks for your response.........anyone else experience this.

 

I'd drive it a couple of days then put it back on the lift and double check the levels in both. I doubt you would hurt the TC if the level was a bit low. Did you use Mitsubishi Diaqueen lube?

shuuuure DIDN'T. thanks for asking.


but i was thinking the same thing about double checking it later.

 

you guys getting the mitsubishi diaqueen from the dealership? or is there somewhere you ordering online for cheaper? i see that lancershop ran out.

 

I got mine at the local dealership. It was the same price as lancer shop and i didn't have to pay shipping.

 

My stealership didn't have any on the shelf. Kwman picked up a gallon from Turbotrixx I think and we had more than enough to do both our cars. Try TRE if Lancer shop is out.
