Just did my first 30,000 trans oil change, I didn't think I needed it but the car really is shifting much smoother now.
I used ffl-2 (Cost was 132.00 for 8l, including shipping) and a stocker filter from ebay(120 including shipping). It took me about 3 hours and that included installing a evo x licp while doing the change.
So, for the $252 spent and 3 hours of my time I am feeling much less stress about my "ticking time bomb".

 

Same here, I changed my sst fluid with ffl2 last week. I didnt think I needed it either, my oil came out pretty clean and this is after a million launches and 2 slow down dash warnings. It feels a little bit smoother but my transmission wasnt acting up to begin with, I shouldve waited a little bit longer. Total cost was 275 with filter

 

I think you did it at the right time! Never want to wait till there is a problem, might be to late at that point....

 

Just made my order from RAI. 140 shipped for 8 quarts to Texas. Quite a big difference from the 360 the stealership wanted here for the DIAQUEEN!

 

just wanted everyone to see this, because even im still kinda iffy about using something else than Dia-Queen, this put everything to rest:

Two bucks? Really?

 

This thread is a bit funny for me, I bought mu first Lancer in 1975 - guess what?
All the FSMs were full of "use DIAQUEEN type x" blah blah blah"
And if the dealership had said oil it cost a motsa compared to the regular stuff.
Needless to say there was not a lot of DIAQUEEN oil used in Australian rally cars back then.

 

Sheppard has the dodson reusable trans filter that goes in the stock housing just an fyi.

 

Link?

 

I emailed sheppard directly so I dont think its on sheppards website but heres a link to dodson site. I emailed dodson and said sheppard is my local dealer for them http://dodsonmotorsport.com/index.ph...mart&Itemid=30

Stupid question, but is it the same filter for the Ralliart?

 

The RA and MR use the same SST filter.
