If your transmission didn't have any issues prior to the fluid change and your old fluid was not dirty, you should not have any issues with the factory fluid. Thanks. I already did the carrier center bearing. By the way buy the Mitsu OEM one, much more grease and has a rubber lip on one side like a seal, it only goes one way, not like the universal' s. Had to use the same U Joint was in almost perfect condition ( made by Koyo) in order to finish the prop. Could install converter tranny seal and rear crankshaft seal with regular tools. But have a problem with the tranny rear tail seal. There is a protector like a bell surronding the area and is almost impossible to pry ot out with conventional tools. Any trick you may share with me in order to replace that rear seal? If I remember correctly you can remove that protector.

I used a small softface hammer and just tapped around the pressed on end until it came off. Tap on opposing sides rotating about 20 degrees. Kinda like your torque lug nuts. Edward

Come to think of it I was thinking of the wrong part that is actually bolted. Have you tried using an actual seal puller?

Edward[/quote] you are right. it is pressed. couple of hits with a hammer did it.

I found out that the bell protector is officially called dust cover. Jjejeeje. a couple of hits with a hammer did it.
I changed 3 seals ( rear engine, converter and slip yoke ones). No leaks at all. What I am worried is that with the oil change ( I used Mitsu SP III ) it will begin to slip.
It's been a week and I've had not problems.

So far so good, no slipping noticed. Since many people say that after changing fluid, clutches crud may be released, and cause slippage in tranny and filter may be clogged, how much time dot you think I must wait in order to replace the filter again?

It is technically based on mileage. Dealers I've had do my tranny service have used their best judgement based on how the old fluid looks.

Technically like you say,my monty has around 160,000. Bougth it with 86,000 miles. No slipping or any other problem but a small tranyy leak. How to tell if tranny oil wss old, no idea. Time will tell.

Time will tell. Not really sure. I don't think it is listed in the owners manual. Mine had close to 130K, iirc, at the time and he said it wouldn't hurt but probably not necessary. I suppose they are looking for large chunks of debris in the old oil. They seem legit so... Some that I have talked to didn't know or wasn't even sure it has a filter in the trans. I doubt that is why it is slipping though. Sometimes it takes a day or so after service and sometimes it cures it right after leaving the shop. As mentioned above were you having problems with it before the change? It could be over or underfilled. But on the other hand some people have had the same problem after servicing.

Dealers I've had do my tranny service have used their best judgement based on how the old fluid looks. don't know how they check it, but last time I went to the dealership, they said the filter is still good and doesnt have to be replaced......they just did the usual drain & fill with diamond SPIII and voila, the hesitation & slipping between 2nd & 3rd gear was gone right after I left their facility....
