You don't need a pump, gravity and patience will prevail, the hardest one to get at is the rear diff, but i hung the funnel up on the garage door and let gravity do it work. Lancershop also has nice How-Tos that i used. Give-er a go.

they don't have one for the rear, but it is the same 24mm bolt on the bottom and on the top. Make sure you can get the top off before you drain through the bottom though. Common sense i know, but necessary.

I just got off the phone with Rust at MitsubishiParts.net and I ordered all of my fluids from there.

I got the Mitsu LSD fluid for the TC and LSD, and their MT Fluid for the tranny. I even bought the ACD fluid. The coolant and some poppet fastener for the undertray. I need them because I took the under tray when I changed out my O2 housing and DP.

Here's the parts and price.

Coolant 1 gallon - $16.84
LSD Fluid 1 gallon - $35.05
MT Fluid 1 gallon - $82.36
ACD Fluid 1 quart - $4.42
Poppet Fastener - $1.16 ea

Total is like $163.70 shipped. Someone on here said that the Mitsu tranny fluid works the best compared to BG, Redline, and other. Warraton also agreed. It's recommended that you use nothing but Mitsu fluid for the TC and LSD so that what I'm doing.

I have no idea about the ACD fluid. How often is it suppose to be changed or how to changed it. I think it's to be check and filled if necessary and since it's so cheap, I might as well bought it. Does anyone have any idea?

You called me 'rust' -- Russell --

Thanks again!

Opps, sorry! My bad.

The guys that transfer me over to you said that your name was Rust.

Thanks for helping me though. Damn fluid was hella expensive.

Good info, I'm about to change out my tranny fluid. What mileage did everyone do it at and is it bad if I just do the tranny now and tc and diffs later?
