I noticed yesterday when I got to work that when I pulled into my parking spot that the rear end shuddered (like the diff wasnt unlocking, binding). The drive is about 50 miles so the fluid was nice and warm. I have only put 6k miles on it since I purchased it used currently has 66k miles on it. After doing lots of research and reading on here I decided to go with OEM Diaqueen from the dealer. I changed the diff fluid and transfer case fluids and happy to report the shudder has not shown itself since. I am currently reading and researching which fluid to go with in my 6 speed trans. I am open to any opinions and inputs, please dont flame as I am reading up on this. I have been an Auto Tech for many years and from experience some vehicles "agree" or "disagree" with certain types of fluids.

For the MR you should only be using the trans fluid from mitsu.

i swapped my fluids on my transmission front and rear differential last year with amsoil and it's been all good. no wining noise and shifts real smooth.

I do not have any experience with the 6 speed but I can tell you that I switched all my fluids over to Amsoil at 15000 miles and everything has been smooth as glass. My car currently sits at just over 26000 miles and I already purchased replacement Amsoil fluids for its 30000 mile service.

wrong !


you stepped up your game when it comes to power, now step up your game with the blood of your engine and powertrain

thats simply because you are using now a premium synthetic that gives you an advantage of multiviscocity.
