I have same gearbox but its in a 2003 mitsubishi outlander ( airtrek in usa), did you find any clutch shudder issues using that oil? Dexron not correct oil for that gearbox, so wouldn't be surprised if you get a lock up clutch shudder in 4th gear around 70km/hr. No problems? Correct oil is sp111 type by mitsubishi or hyundai, interested to hear how it went.
There's no filter on my transmission. Older versions of the f4a42 trans had a spin on filter but my 02 doesnt have one. There is an internal screen but it requires remove the trans oil pan. Its not really meant to be replaced.
You could try spraying it with wd40 and grabbing it with vise grips. Worst case you break the dipstick but you can get another one at a junkyard for a couple bucks usually.
There's no filter on this transmission. There is an internal screen but you gotta drop the pan to get to it. At some point they added a spin-on trans filter to these cars but my 02 doesnt have it.
To have an accurate reading on the dipstick, drive around 5 miles then stop, keep the engine on, go through the gears from neutral all the way down to L, then back to park, posing 3 seconds on each gear, go all the way down again to L then up, stop on D which is drive then turn the engine off, the gear should be on D and the engine off before you check the dipstick. Wait for about 5 minutes then check. You need to check the dipstick multiple times to get the accurate reading.
That's wrong. The Mitsubishi service manual for the 03 Lancer says check fluid level in neutral with the engine running. I can email you the manual in a pdf if youd like.
@@alexsbikesandmotors I checked it on neutral with the engine running, with each dip, it gives a different reading, overfilled or below the normal level. a Mitsubishi mechanic told me to do this method and it was the only method that gave the accurate reading.
@@comali2212 if you check with the engine off itll show much higher than the actual level. So if it reads full with engine off, the actual level is much lower. This is true for every automatic transmission.
@@alexsbikesandmotors a lean code popped up a couple months back and it's been to two mechanics, I've put about 3 grand Into it, replaced fuel pump, fuel pump assembly, o2 sensor and more
@@Signmy_350z did you fix it? I'm surprised you needed a new fuel pump. They hardly ever fail on these cars. o2's go bad all the time but they throw a different code.
@@lively7365 well the multi vehicle atf i used worked fine. Actually it shifted better than before. There's nothing special about these transmissions that require a special fluid.
Nice and straightforward 👍
Thank you! Just what I needed to see!
Nice no nonsense vid. Thanks 8)
For those watching i have the same car rn in 2024 and i have the owners manual with me its says its 8 qz of atf sp 3 for those wondering😊
How many litres of atf does the gearbox use

No problems using dexron. Trans still shifts perfect.
Thanks bro helped a lot
How many quarts of oil did you use in total?
Good man needed it
nice video i like it
how many quarters did you used?
you sound exactly like actor mark ruffalo,lol.
why didn't you change the oil filter?

@@alexsbikesandmotors I checked and the new box model from 2006 has a filter in the dipstick housing
@@alexsbikesandmotors I'll do the swap tonight and let you know if I was right
@tanaseadrianionut how'd it go?
It seems that I was wrong and the gearbox has no filter at all.@@bobz4
For some reason my atf stick won’t come out. It’s stuck

You changing that shit in a parking lot?🤣
Yeah normally i do it at your moms house
The cops haahahah
How many Liters did you usa after?
Dont remember but i said it at the end of the video
Why use that stuff and not SP III?
it's the same stuff and much cheaper than sp 3
@@alexsbikesandmotors is it really though I hear people say only us sp since our transmissions need factory fluid
