How do you replace transmission fluid in a Mitsubishi Montero Sport SUV?

Answer 1

AnswerYou should take it to someone who can flush out the transmission through the filter holes so the filter can be replaced and the entire system can be flushed and also to get all of the fluid and sludge out of the torque converter if the transmission has not been serviced every 25000 miles some shops will tell you that they can flush the system without taking the pan off that their machine will clean the filter the filter can not be cleaned it has to be replaced do not let any one tell you different also Transmission Fluid is a high detergent fluid and will loosen the sludgn in a transmission and clog the filter and burn up the transmission this is why it needs to be flushed with a special cleaner and machine if it has not been serviced every 25000 miles I do mine every 15000 miles also the machine will remove all the fluid from the torque converter the transmission should take about 13 to 17 quarts of fluid with a complete change and about 5 or 6 quarts with a filter change which just requires the pan to come off the complete flush will coast about $170 to $230 It is a lot cheaper than a transmission I would flush it now and 18000 miles later then every 15000 miles I would just do a filter change
