Our local Mitsu dealer doesnt have any manual trans fluid, so I was checking to see if anyone knows if I can use Dextron 6 atf in the manual trans. I dont see why not, but wanted any input before I put it in there!

TIA.

come on mike. You're better than this.

Mopar ATF+4 go to walmart.

It's stickied at the top of the NV-350 section

so get the atf+4 at like autozone? or go to a dealership and buy it from there?

satan will charge you ~$8-9 for a quart. walmart has it for under $5

I'd take NV-T350 fluid from the dealer over Mopar ATF+$ any day, just because that's how I am, but I'll use ATF+4 in a pinch if I can't *find* any of the Real Thing.

PS - you only need 2 quarts. I wouldn't buy an entire quart to use 1/10th of it.

No mike, just because the number is higher doesnt mean atf-6 has what aft4 has in it plus more...lol

New Venture now recommends ATF+4 and it comes in all their transmissions from the factory.

Places i have seen it for sale:
Walmart
Vatozone
Menards
They all range about 4.00-5.00 a quart.

X2

I know that Mitsu now recommends the ATF+4, but I just don't believe/trust them. Why have they made such a big deal out of the NV-T350 for so long and then all of the sudden its OK to use the ATF+4? Its OK, because the company wanted to streamline costs.

There have also been a couple comparison tests that rate the ATF+4 the lowest. They rated the Amsoil MTX up top and that is what I now use.

Here, have some fun reading;

I've seen mopar nv-t350 at Walmart, if this helps

I dont trust nothing but the mopar fluid sorry guys had a buddy that ran the ATF 4 with high miles and new trans 3 weeks later lol maybe bc of miles also but had no since of going out before hand, my car also had issues when I bought it had wrong fluid in it would stay in 5th when I bought it wasnt but 2 weeks later 4th and 3rd had the issue
and come on you pay for like one time it shouldnt leak and just plug the axle holes when doing any services

I have run BG Syncroshift for a couple years with no problems. Be prepared to pay for what you get though.

Except to annoy the shit out of us that know better.

nobody is confused, the manual transmission can use mopar atf +4. there is a reason this is posted in the manual transmission section.
