ACD Fluid change question
Im gonna have the dealership do this (obviously) and I was wondering if when they change the ACD fluid, is it necessary that they change any other fluids too at the same time?
Reason I ask is the car is at the mitsu dealer for something else unrelated to the fluids, and I just recently changed all the other fluids myself a few thousand miles ago (rear diff, transfer case, tranny) and I asked the dealership to change JUST the ACD fluid.
So when they do the ACD fluid, can they do just the ACD fluid and they wont have to touch anything else?

My questions is why bother replacing the ACD fluid? Unless you're bleeding it after a clutch job or are getting all 3 ACD lights on indicating an error or air bubbles in the system don't waste the time, energy, or money. This isn't a wear fluid like the rest of the drivetrain and isn't hygroscopic like brake fluid.

ACD is just ATF(auto trans fluid) and you dont need any special tools to do it, you can pick up a fluid transfer pump for about 15-20bucks and has a simple hand pump with two hoses on each end. we never change it unless we do a clutch job. We typically recc changing entire driveline fluids every 20-30k if DD your car or you see the track regularly even every 10-20k

Ok sweet thanks for the info forcefed!
Ya Im gonna have to bleed it when I do my trans swap/clutch install. So those are the steps basically? I recall someone saying they were able to bypass bleeding the ACD by not removing a certain banjo fitting when doing a clutch swap. Truth??
