My mother-in-laws 95 RVR 1.8 litre auto has always shifted a bit hard when cold and loose when hot. I'm planning to change out fluid first as this has never been done to my knowledge (108kms). I added some friction modifiers last year and it helped for a short time but it soon went back to where it was before. Can anyone tell me what AT fluid is recommended and if it requires a special Mitsi type like my 97 Pajero? Is it essential to flush tranny when doing?

Any other recomendations would be useful from those owners who have experienced problems with their auto. I've never worked on this yet but all else is going well (eco/powr/hold & overdrive settings). Is there a filter to clean/change and any other maint required with the tranny?

never flush your tranny thats a sucker job. just replace the fluid and don't forget to change the transmission fluid filter. not a lot of people know that there is a transmission fluid filter, but there is change that and you my fix your problem a clogged filter.

What fluid do I use? Do you have any specs on this model?

Flushing is a professionsl job as you need specail equipment to presserize. I did my Pajero this way at the shop and it made a huge difference.

Hi Jim, I don't know if there is anything special about the trans' fluid, perhaps a phone call to one of the specialists in Dunedin yellow pages will help. I do know if you buy a auto service kit from the likes of Repco, it will have a new filter and gasket in it. There are several models, I think it depends on how many bolts hold the pan on ie; 11 or 13 bolt pan.
Cheers Gerry

Thanks for that I'll follow up with the local dealer when I get up the nerve. I hate to deal with them as they know I never give them any work because I do it myself. Better put up on stands and have a good look underneath to see what pan I have. Never realised that there was a filter on these models which may be half my problem.
