WTK: CK men, transmission fluid

[mitsutt]

Fellas who using castrol transmission fluid, which one of these u does use and what engine yuh have because 1 man saying use d atf+4 then a next 1 saying use the atf with d dexron 3? Let us settle this...

[vipervega]

i does use the quakerstate atf+4 its recommended by most places that does do the flushes its about $39 per quart ans wen u doin a complete flush it does take 10 quarts

[Rudman]

I used the Castrol ATF+4 last transmission change, because I couldn't find the Quaker state +3 (they stop making it). Engine is a 4G15 DOHC with a F41A4 transmission.

20,000 km later and it still running good.

ATF +3 or +4

no dexron

[mitsutt]

ATF +3 or +4

no dexron

ok but why no dexron?

[Dave]

or diamond spIII but castrol or quaker state makes an ATF +3/4

or diamond spIII but castrol or quaker state makes an ATF +3/4

I used the Diamond

no problems!


kinda pricey though

$47 per qt

and ull need 8 qts!

[venum]

ok but why no dexron?

because all transmission fluid is not he same

there are different specification tranny fluids

do a google search, you'll discover a lot

different manufacturers design their trannies to work with a certain spec fluid

Mitsu designed teh F4A41 to use Dia Queen SPII fluid

ATF+3 is a Dia Queen SPII equivalent

Dexron III and ATF are not

wrong fluid = damaged tranny

it's like putting engine oil instead of tranny fluid

[mitsutt]

ok venum but what about atf+4, good or bad?

[venum]

AFT+4 is teh replacement to the ATF+3

it is backward compatible with the ATF+3 standard

ATF+3 isn't supposed to be made as it is now outdated to te ATF+4

yuh safe with teh ATF+4

do not use ATF, only ATF+4

[mitsutt]

u had meh worried for a minute.

[*KRONIK*]

Fellaz doh mean to hijack the man thread but my padna have ah cs2 wagon, 4g15 EFI, SOHC, non GDI with ah CVT,

he car stop workin the other day and them mechanic say the reason is that the tranny bad!
they pay like 4000 for ah CVT today and change the fluid using DIAMOND MITSUBISHI ATF3.

Can this be used in CVTs?

or MITSU CVTs have ah special fluid to use?

i know nissan CVTs carry their own specific NISSAN CVT FLUID.

[venum]

once it's mitsu SPIII tranny fluid

not ATF+3 - that is teh wrong fluid

[Dave]

honda cvt or nissan cvt works well too

[Rudman]

^^I detest the mere implication of Honda fluids in my Mitsu!....

(then again, them red Type R seats......I ent have ah problem with)

[venum]

u might as well reverse your thinking

[*KRONIK*]

[mitsutt]

Your trans most likely is going and will have to be changed or rebuilt.

[Sunic]

Check the transmission mount. Same thing was happening to my ck and a busted trans mount was the cause.
