-Can someone please tell me the exact, standard, specific type of transmission fluid required to be put into my 2g Eclipse w/ the 420a? No shortcuts >>> Just want to know what the manual transmissions call for specifically!
 
I also recommend the Mopar fluid.

Manual Transaxle Lubricant NV T350, Part # 04874465

I purchased mine from my local Dodge/Chrysler dealership. Even if its not in stock they should be able to have it overnighted from other dealerships in the area.
 
i was curiou about this as wel. i contacted my local mitsubishi dealer an they told me 75-90 weight....
then i asked them about full synthetic or synthetic blend an they said it didnt matter infact i can mix the two? bs or legit info?
my 2g 99 420a 5sp
 
Any ATF +4 works fine.

2.1 qts is capacity.

You'll get by fine by only buying 2 quarts as the 0.1 will be in the trans anyway since you'll never drain it all the way. Fill it through the hole the reverse light switch threads in to.
 
does lucas oil make anything compatable aswell?
i have the 420a an im asuming i have the NVT-350?
just curious cause i like lucas oil their products are pretty good...
 
ive got nothing against redline...they make good products but ive raced motocross since i was 8 went professional at 17 an ive used their trans black clutch oil almost same stuff as their tranny oil an i wasent impressed with the heat ratio ratings as they say it will stand up to...ill look into thanks for the info.
 
once again AMSOIL!!

They did stopped making the NVT-350 fluid, only some dealerships carry or have some left it woulnt hurt to call.. but it will be expensive really expensive. LOL
people say to use ATF+4, for some it worked for some it doesn't. To each their own.
At my house the 420a's run AMSOIL, the 4G63 use redline gear oil.
