This tutorial is so great! Indeed, looks the most difficult part is to lift and try to go under the car... 😅

[@TheSnyds]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@joeschmoe5009]

6.25 from trans is a little low, you should get 7-7.5. There is a fluid check/fill bolt on the wheel side you can take out while filling from top, i filled the top section with 6 liters, then finish the filling with the 7th liter of fluid from that side bolt to monitor when it comes out, then just finish that procedure just like the transfer case, multiple tines pumping. Just fyi for next time

[@zman6288]

I couldn't get to that bolt do you use a long Allen key Sub frame is right in front of it

[@tonypham890]

thanks for the video. it was super helpful when I did the transmission, transfer case, and rear differential for my 09 Ralliart. the original transmission died when I hit 150k miles and I only had it done once at the dealership at 80k miles. with the second transmission that I bought used, it ran rough and three fluid change cleared everything right up which I thought was crazy. unfortunately I couldn't find castrol transmax dual and had to order the diaqueen from maperformance.

[@TheSnyds]

Good luck with this go around!

[@Gilligan.Garage]

Did you flush it out with the diaqueen fluid or did you use something cheaper to flush it?

[@tonypham890]

@@Gilligan.Garage ,I only drained and refilled once with the diaqueen. My previous message, I didn't mean that i flushed the sst fluid 3 times. I meant that I changed the sst fluid, transfer case fluid, and rear differential. I also changed the external sst filter as shown in the video.

[@Gilligan.Garage]

@@tonypham890 ohhh ok sounds good, what were the issues that the transmission was giving you?

[@tonypham890]

@@Gilligan.Garage , it was giving me really hard or weird studder/hesitation shifts between 2nd and 3rd and 3rd and 4th when I would press the accelerator. And going uphill, it would struggle up shifting and made this weird noise like it was trying to let out air or something. But after changing all the fluids, everything worked fine and haven't had those issues since. And it's been about 6 or 7 weeks now. I will say when changing out the external sst filter, mine was full of gunk so I don't think the used transmission I got ever got serviced, or if it had, they did not use oem fluids and that may have caused the issue I had. But like I said before, after changing out everything, I haven't seen an issue since and hope I can keep this going awhile longer.

[@nolangrossman4540]

Damn man I just have to say this is a little funny because I’m from Hawaii, actually just moved back home, and have my ralliart here with around 56,000 miles on it😅🤙🏽

[@TheSnyds]

Hahaha that's awesome

[@aliarshad9739]

Keep up the awesome videos man!

[@shad3128]

I had my SST for my evo fully built by kozmic and they are pretty adament about using only mitsu OEM fluids for the entire drivetrain and have seen bad crap happen over time with other fluids in the drivetrain. I would advise that for anyone doing the maintenance to lower any chances of complications especially anyone who has a warranty it most likelt gets voided if oem fluids arent used. Just my two cents, even tho expensive you can stock up over time from ebay or MAperformance. Great work and video though!

[@deathwizxx]

A lot of the community has already tested out the Castrol dual and found it to be the same fluid as diaqueen. Those are the only two fluids to use ever

[@YourMom-nl4uw]

I get my stuff from Kozmic as well, but like the other dude pointed out, they are the exact same oil. Diaqueen is just re-branded so Mitsubishi can sell it as their own.

[@georgenerwitschlager4147]

Wow!! I would like to have such a rustfree underbody, too on my RA!!

[@AaronPJohnston1]

Thanks for the video! Might be a good investment to get a rewashable filter that's what came with my Ralliart.. Save you $50 each service 😊

[@TheSnyds]

I actually have one, the guy I had bought my oil from last time gave it to me brand new. But I hear they aren't very good to use. Just a heads up

What's your thoughts on Amsoil vs diaqueen for the transmission(cvt)? Really appreciate the detailed video! Give me more confidence in saving money. They want 400 just for drain refill in WV, just the trans, no filter change. I've got the SE Lancer. Never done anything other than oil on it, sittin at 84k.

[@th3wick3d3nd3]

Because you literally do everything yourself, after the cold air intake install which made my VE SS Commodore louder and a huge performance increase, I've now ordered polished stainless Steel headers and cat deletes. Is it possible to install them myself or do I need a professional to do it? I also had a 3" catback installed with rear mufflers and 3.5" quad tips.

[@TheSnyds]

Headers depending on the car can be simple or difficult. All cars are kinda diff man, I'd see what your clearances are 1st

[@th3wick3d3nd3]

@@TheSnyds the only problem I can see is the steering shaft. I'd need to disconnect it to get the headers in. Might need my older bro's help as he has all the equipment and I need to get under the car. Should be easy. Next will be dyno tune to see how many horses I gained.

[@US_Beagle]

Can't get Castrol Transmax Dual in North America anymore, permanently unlisted from autohausaz and the shipping from any other source makes it even more expensive than the Diaqueen, also Diaqueen is almost $200 a Gallon now, rediculous.

These are reliable when taken care of properly. This is considered a performance car, and with that maintenance is key. With that being said, if you like to work on your car, these are pretty easy to service and deal with for most of the work
