1G Manual transmission fluid

[R2J]

93 Talon TSI AWD Manual.
What's the best fluid to use?
Brand, type, how much qt, and weight?
It's hard to get in gear now, not sure what's in it but I know it's time to change it but I don't what to buy. I read a lot of posts and it's all over the place with different opinions. I just want a Smoove shift.

If you have a Mitsubishi dealer near you or want to order online, go with Mitsubishi DiaQueen SP3 trans fluid. AWD tranny takes 2.3 qts and the transfer case takes 0.5 qts. If you want to pay a more premium price you can go with Redline fluids, but I personally don't have experience with them yet so I can't vouch. Mitsu's DiaQueen is the bomb though.

I am with Kryndon. In a pinch I use Pennzoil Syncromesh, just in case, like me, no Mitsu dealer anywhere close.

Here is a list of most of the major choices and at what power level they are appropriate.

I personally use Redline 75W90NS in my transmission and heavy weight shock proof in my transfer case and rear differential.

1. I use the redline 75w140ns and redline heavy weight shockproof in my transfer case. Can't say it's the best but I can say it has worked for me so far.
