i have to replace my transmission and power steering fluid sometime this week... any perferable types?? i have an automatic lancer... so what is good for our types of cars...??

 

Keep to what Mitsubishi recommends. Go to the dealership and ask for some power steering fluid and tranmission fluid. They're stuff is best for our cars! DIAMOND brand

 

Yes if you use the wrong power steering fluid you could f up the whole power steering rack. All I know is thats is red just like the tranny fluid. I would go to the dealership.

 

Use your owners manual as a reference guide; it's all in there...

 

Diamond atf is what the manual says for power steering.

 

So Diamond ATF is available at the stealership....i find that hard to believe...does anybody have an prices for this?

has anybody successfully tried anything else besides the stuff from the stealership?

 

I have gm synchromesh for tranny fluid and it works great.

 

what auto parts store can you pick up the GM syncromesh only been able to find the pennzoil syncromesh.-

 

You can get it at a GM dealership. From what I remember it's basically pennzoil synchromesh but substantially cheaper.

 

STP PSF worked for me! No problems at all!!

 

Back to the dealerships...the lancer can not have some kind of dealership only brand...what manufacturer makes diamond atf?

 

lol i was trying to avoid the dealership... since all they wanna do is rip me off.... please post some more suggestions y'all

 

Actually you'd be surprised... I paid about 3 bucks for a bottle of power steering fluid. Their prices aren't that bad. But if they gonna fill your car for you? that's when they bone you in the butt. ha ha..

just get the bottles, they don't cost much.. you'll see.

 

I thought that was for manuals... I put Syncromesh in my 5mt... Auto trannies don't have syncros to mesh...

 

I used Redline for my power steering and manual transmission fluids, and they are great! The dealership in my area even told me that Redline was good, as I wanted to double check with them to make sure I DIDN'T have to use Mitsubishi fluids. The only fluid from the Mitsubishi that you HAVE to use is the automatic transmission fluid.
