Nope - for two reasons:
1) The correct ATF is Diaqueen only from Mitsubishi dealers - the stuff in that listing looks like Dexron II which is not the same specification. SPIII is a much better spec than the stuff in that listing.
2) Mitzybitz have sent me the wrong parts on two occasions - and never replied to emails. The last stuff was a set of bolts to hold my steering ball joints onto the wishbones - they were not long enough and the threads stripped. They had my money so didn't bother to reply.
You pays your money and takes your chance - but a gearbox replacement is very expensive. |

Diaqueen is only available from dealers - it is horrendously expensive!!

The diesels are designed to use mineral or semi-synthetic. |
