Default How to: change SST transmission fluid

I found this for all the DIYers. When I get to it, I may do my own version of How to for RAs.
http://www.evoxforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35444

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE

TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL CHECK


1.After cleaning the outer surface of transaxle, visually check that there is no oil oozing or oil leaking from the transaxle.

2.If an oil oozing or leaking is present, replace the transaxle assembly.
TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGE

1.Remove the engine compartment under cover front B assembly. (Refer to GROUP 51 − Under Cover P.51-16.)


2.Remove the oil drain plug to drain the oil.

NOTE:

Because the oil in the oil cooler and oil filter cannot be drained, the amount of drained oil will be approximately 5.5 dm3.

3.Tighten the oil drain plug to the specified torque.

Tightening torque: 25 N⋅m (19 ft-lb)

4.Remove the air cleaner element, air cleaner intake duct, and air cleaner body. (Refer to GROUP 15 − Air Cleaner P.15-10.)

5.Remove the oil filler plug, then fill the oil.

Brand name: Mitsubishi genuine Dia-Queen SSTF-I

Filling amount: Approximately 5.5 dm3 (approximately 5.8 quarts)

6.Tighten the oil filler plug to the specified torque.

Tightening torque: 25 N⋅m (19 ft-lb)



7.Install the air cleaner element, air cleaner intake duct, and air cleaner body. (Refer to GROUP 15 − Air Cleaner P.15-10.)

8.Start the engine, then let it idle for 1 to 2 minutes.

9.Move the shift lever to every position, and then move it to the P or N range.

10.Stop the engine, then perform Steps 2 to 5 again.

11.Check the oil level and oil fouling. (Refer to P.22C-328.) If fouling is found, repeat Steps 2 to 5 until the fouling is eliminated.

12.Install the engine compartment under cover front B assembly. (Refer to GROUP 51 − Under Cover P.51-16.)

[Edit]
OEM Fluid & Filter P/N:
-DiaQueenSSTF P/N C0002610
-SSTF Filter P/N 2513A040


Tools Required:
-Funnel to fill SSTF something that will fit into US nickle ($0.05) size hole.

Additional Notes:
-RA battery is in the way of fill plug/bolt (Battery must be removed)
-Intake funnel is in the way of battery. (Stock Intake funnel must be removed)
-Plastic Battery Tray must be removed. Squeeze wiggle free from wires & detach the wiring from the tray.
-Small bracket which is under the battery tray must be removed (2 x 10mm socket) *If I remember it right**

*Fill plug, Drain plugs are (8mm allen) 19lbs of torque.

-Do not pry any part of SST filter. *Tab/hook* it is easy to break made out of plastic.
-Slowly twist with firm grip the tab will click thru until filter is off.
-Install the filter the same way do not force anything *Tab/hook* it is easy to break made out of plastic. I dont have spec on the torque for filter but hand tight is good as long as threads are not showing.
-Make sure you lube (thats what she said) the NEW SST Filter with SST Fluid like you would to the NEW oil filter with oil before installation.

- When you fill the SSTF use the corner edge to guide the fluid so prevent spilling.

I will take pictures & do an actual RA how to later...

That's a good one, now I can prepare myself to get the things I need and will do this sometimes next month at my shop at the school.

Bump for Rallirun.

Sry, I posted in DIY instead of How to.
This is the reason why you had trouble finding it.

Ok Blaze. This is "How to:" but I accidentally posted in a DIY section. Can you move it to "How to:" section?

i picked up some sst fluid and the filter today and the service dept at mitsu sold it to me and then before i left told me if i didnt have a certified mechanic change it for me and proof they did if anything went wrong with my transmission for any reason it would not be covered because they would not know if it was the right amount or the proper fluid ....

scare tactics. as long as you use Diaqueen SSTF you will be fine.
you do not want to over fill so you fill the amount you drained.
from reading others that had their SSTF changed it is 7-7.5L.

19lbs for all drain & fill (8mm Allen) bolts.

Nothing to it but to do it.

SST Fill point with Funnel. Better to use $.05 (US Nickle) size funnel to fill.
