have you guys checked out mitsubishiparts.net?

I ordered my tranny fluid from there. It's $83 for a gallon and it's made for the 6sp tranny, but there's members on here with 5sp tranny that are running it and they said that it's even better then the pennzoil, redline or the BG syncroshift.

It's pretty expensive, but the Evo is my one and only method of transportation so I don't want to go cheap on it. There's quite a few that recommend it as well.

yeah, but this kind of entertainment is best left in OT with guys like evolvo. I would prefer it to stay that way, but my personal ban-hammer has no effect on the forums

It's the same gear oil in the MR tranny then? Otter, what does mitsu use? I was pretty happy with the stock tranny fluid, but 83$ a gallon can lick... well, you get the idea

I agree that $83 bucks for some fluid is freaken a lot. But I own an 88 Supercharged Mr2 and the supercharger fluid is a special fluid from Toyota and can only be ordered through them. It cost $60 for a quart, so $83 for a gallon of tranny fluid isn't so bad.

Well what I heard is that tranny builder, and tuners are starting to recommend the OEM tranny fluid, so might as well.

$83 a gallon, thats for ya.

thanks for the input man, I know for sure I won't buy an 88 MR2 now

83$ every 30k isn't too bad, that's our recommended interval on the RA. I tend to stick around that, what are the builders recommending? that's the main reason I went to an aftermarket fluid, longevity (synthetic vs conventional).

Royal Purple Synchromax FTW. Made my car shift WAY better. (2.3 quarts btw)

It was $32 for the fluid, and I did the change myself. Very easy to do! I won't use anything else from now on. I believe the Penzoil we are supposed to use is Pennzoil Synchromesh... I heard a saying on these boards, that if it has synchro in the name and is GL-4... you're good. But I know Royal Purple Synchromax works great so I'll recommend that over all others.

i dont know, i did my research in the threads, and came out with conclusion that BGII Syncroshift is the way to go. its used for the gl-4, and its synthetic...it was pretty hard to find though, but i got it.

that's what I am using right now. It was a huge improvement over the mobil 1.

yeah, i cant wait to get it in this week, just to see the difference...u ever have any uneccessary grinding at high rpms dan? and not to get off topic, but i bought the mobil 1 synthetic extended performance and i dont get it, like how can u make an oil, even synthetic, that will last 15,000 miles but theres no filter out there that would ever hold up to that...anyways id never go beyond 3,000 without an oil change, i luv the ralliart too much...thats why i got her a nice lil k&n oil filter

I've never had any grinding of any kind (unless I mis-time the clutch / shift... which has happened 2 times total)... long as you have good fluid in there you're good to go.
