I have done an 2 hour search for this. I just had my tcase rebuilt and have it all in and ready to service it tomorrow morning. I have the Diaqueen for the Tcase and the Redline for the Trans but i dont have the fluid for the ACD. Tomorrow is sunday and the Mits is closed what else can i use? Please help i want the EVO on the road soon. Anything at Autozone?

 

i believe u can use ATF synthetic fluid for the acd. I dont think there actaully is ACD fluid. I could be wrong but that is what i have read on the forum

 

Thanks Extreme anyone else?

 

ATF for sure ...

 

do you have a reservoir in the left side of the trunk ???
I do ... That's where I fill it up.

 

For the ACD fluid, use Mitsubishi Diamond ATF SP III.

I guess something of equivalent would be ok.

what would you guys recommend? Do i have to bleed the system?

Well Mitsu said that you don't need to change the fluid. Just need to check that it's full so I don't think you need to bleed it.

If it's empty then I guess can use some alternatives, but I would rather wait and get the right fluid instead of being sorry.

 

Thanks but im in deep need for it tomorrow. I need my car for Monday. Is there anything that i can use other than Mitsu. dealer fluid/

Do i need to bleed and how to?

 

I went with the Mitsubishi diamond atf sp III. I had a hard time finding an actual atf III at autozone (may have been out). There are other guys who are running stuff like valvoline without issue(I did a lot of searching when I did mine) but it is up to you if you want to take the chance. Technically it should be ok as long as it is an atf III. Yes you need to bleed it, Hook up a line to the bleed and crack it open(bleed screw). Have someone turn the key to the on position (not starting the car) and step on the gas this will run the acd pump for a few seconds. Repeat till you see no more air.

 

 

Wow this is different than than what I found on how to bleed it. Maybe I should redo mine. I did get fluid and air out the way I described earlier and it seems to be running fine, but maybe I will bleed it one more time.

 

I keep seeing a special tool that is needed for this. Is this true?
