well, i was thinking about it and i will have have the money to get both the tcase and the transmisson fluids next thursday, im going to call the dealer and see if they think it will be ok for me to use what i have until this coming week

 

I'm going to try redline fluids when I do my clutch.

 

These can also be used with the 5-speed, correct? I can't remember but there was a thread about it a while back and now I'm ready to change the fluids.

Thanks.h

 

i called mitsu and they said there shouldnt be any reason why i cant run a fully synthetic gear oil of the same weight until i swap it out with mitsu fluids next weekend

 

go with your instinct than bro, you keep questioning everyone on here when they told you not too. I'd sell the wing off my EVO and buy the right stuff before I'd run anything other than GL-4 in a Mitsubishi

 

Hold on a sec!!! Are you sure the Diaqueen Super Multi-Gear Oil 75W-85 (Part # - MZ313376) is for the tranny because as far as lancershop.com and its affiliated sites go they quote
"This fluid is NOT to be used in the tranny, we suggest using the BG syncroshift for the transmission." http://www.lancershop.com/customer/p...&cat=15&page=1

Im confused!

 

My suggestion is to just use stock. Can't go wrong with it. I always have the dealer do mine, even though I'm completly capable of doing them myself. Just so if anything bad were to happen, I can blame them if the faliure is due to fluids

 

the tranny oil is expensive but i would suggest sticking to it rather than being sorry later. besides, a tranny rebuild would cost a lot more.

 

Ok, many use BG Syncroshift II in the tranny because it alleviates the cold weather balkiness typical of Diaqueen 75w85. The potential downside is that the Syncroshift II behaves like a thinner oil, which may present long term issues (although I am unware of any in actuality). I can vouch that it feels great, but I'd like to know more about its actual viscosity (which is unlisted).

As for the TC, I would not use anything but the OE recommended Diaqueen LSD. It seems like many TC issues have been associated with other oils being used. Coincidence? I don't know. It doesn't seem there should be any obvious reasons, but personally speaking, I don't feel it's worth the risk considering the replacement cost.

 

only two oils i would use in tranny would be

Stock / Redline MT90.

Its a little harder to shift with redline but hey its what shep told me to run! and i'm yet to blow my tranny

Also you cannot use a gl5 liquid in your tc. You will fry it.

you can use redline shockproof in your tc i think! (CALL SHEP and ask!) or send him a e-mail. But i had extra diaqueen LSD and just used it.

 

I'm about to order the oem Diaqueen lsd gear oil to change the oil in my transfer case and rear differential.

Will 1 can of this be enough to fill up the T-case and rear diff?

 

Yes it will.

 

This is a snipet from one of the training books from the Mitsubishi manual transmission/transaxle/transfer case class. I also recieved an email from my district rep that the 6 speed oil can be used in the 5 speed.

 

Thanks

 

absolutely use Only Diaqueen in TC and Diff.
I had Redline put in by a shop and the drivetrain started grinding and vibrating
everytime the car was turning at slow speeds. I thought I had blown my trans case, but I drained the TC and diff and replaced it with Duaqueen, and it was like driving a completely different car. All of my drivetrain issues were cured instantly.
One can will provide enough for plenty of changes.
