Hey mate.. great job! How can I check the level and amount of the SST fluid is actually correct? Also, do you have the files for Teach-In for the gearbox?

[@YourMom-nl4uw]

My Ralliart is at 122K and I've never replaced the transfer case and diff fluids. I think I'm slightly overdue lol.. this video definitely helped, tho, cuz I was planning on doing it soon. Also, Kozmic Motorsports in Houston, TX has the filters for like $20.

[@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.

[@justaname1862]

Ive just done mine at 30'000km's..not miles (original buyer/owner).but mine is a built Sep MY10 so due i thought time wise...the oil that came out was clean as....i'll do it again at 60k...in ten + years time :-)

[@dodgersfnshepard8673]

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.

How do I change the Torque Transfer Mechanism fluid? Which takes the Diamond ATF SP-III

[@lucasmerritt5964]

Video is so helpful! Thank you. How much of the LSD gear oil did you buy? Just two for the whole job? And same with the SST fluid, you put in 6.25L I believe. So about 7 bottles. Your ralliart looks flawless, I am attempting the same fluid change on my 2014 ralliart.

[@TheSnyds]

I can't remember how many I bought. I just know I bought an extra SST fluid bottle at the time.

[@viz38]

Thank you so much! I have 2009 ES Lancer and do not have an idea if this front transfer case is the same process as Maintenance. Please, bring me your advice. Thank again!

[@YourMom-nl4uw]

Yours doesn't have a transfer case. It's only on AWD models, specifically the Ralliart and Evos.

[@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

[@YogHmoobAustralia]

What other brand would you recommend if I can't get the oem sae 90 for the t case n diff? Also does the diff n t case use the same oil?

[@TheSnyds]

Same oil. And I read any gear oil would work. But honestly you should stick with OEM

[@remickpalenciatinoco3776]

My SST acts up every now and then.

[@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

[@AaronPJohnston1]

Oh I see! I will definitely change it then haha 😬

[@TheSnyds]

Do what you want bro, just look into it!

[@deathwizxx]

Hey snyds you still using OEM lsd90 or have you switched to motul or anything else? I've been running redline 75-90 in my diff and tcase but I'm considering making the switch back to OEM or motul 90pa because I have been getting what sounds like acd pack engagement noise if I hard throttle from 3k

[@TheSnyds]

Yup! ATI OEM LSD90. That don't sound good man

[@robertlong1333]

Can you show on your video where to jack up your car and where setup jack stand?

[@TheSnyds]

There's jack points all along the side rail under ther car. So you have an ig?

[@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.

Hey Snyds, just recently bought a ralliart myself and wanted to know if the transmax dual Castrol fluid still works great in the car or if you changed it. Still kinda freaked out since the sst has been slipping on normal city driving and don't want to kill the transmission. Is the chemical composition of both the transmax dual and diaqueen the same?
