hi guys,

i have checked the whole site for an answer i could not find, please help me out

i have a gst eclipse 96 auto and now everytime i drive around 80 km the gear shift back to second gear alone by it self its strange / it shifts to second gear and then again to third again until i am over 80 km ? then sometimes it goes back to first gear ??

can this problem be solved easily / ihave checked the fluid and its ok but i think its old i think it was never changed :( but the mechanics here they do not know which fluid or fliter is good for my car ? please give me brands and some details about the fluids and if this problem is normal in our cars ? i need to change filter and fluid as soon as possible.

thank you for your help
 
Most people here say to use diamond ATF from the dealer.
I currently use Valvoline Maxlife ATF. It's only half synthetic as far as I know, but it is Mitsubishi Diamond SP-II and SP-III compliant, helps if you got leaky seals and the car runs fine with it.
I did use an OEM AT filter on my last change, but I know there are also cheaper ones available in the US.
The OEM part number for the filter should be MD735572 and MD739243 for the oilpan gasket.
