I did a few searches and came up short.

I am sure this is :beatentodeath: but what tranny fluid are you auto guys using?

I was thinking about Mobil 1 Fully Synth ATF?! Could someone point to a link that may give me some insight as to what to choose?
 
B&M trick shift or the factory Mitsu automaitic tranny fluid.
 
Just get trick shift.
I always used non syntetic.
 
Under 400hp or so, just go with OEM fluid. John from IPT said to stay away from Trickshift. I'd listen to him.

Over 400hp, I'd only use synthetic with a bottle of Lubegard Black like IPT recommends. The OEM transmission fluid doesn't lubricate well at higher power levels. The load on the transmission are just too high for the fluid to keep the internal parts separated. I believe it was the bearings that failed. I think it was Kiggly that posted about this problem.
