Forum: Third Generation Magna TE - TW

What would the best ATF for be for a 4spd TF magna be? Local Mitsubishi Dealer recommended Caltex Texamatic 1888 fluid? Anybody used this fluid before?

I'm not sure if this is normal, a simple not serious issue or an indicator of something bad goin on. I noticed after I park warmed up TJ magna, (i assume it happens while driving too) there's a slow (once every 2-3s) dripping of something from somewhere under the hood which hits the metal. All...

Hi all, I had to replace my battery in my TJ sports manual, after I did the car started but now idles a little rough and takes longer to crank, Along with this I have a blank stereo no central locking, Centre trip computer(so cannot set the ecu '5' '3.5' ect) Any ideas appreciate it.

Ok, so I bought my first car about 2 weeks ago and sometimes when I'm driving and I go to accelerate it feels like brrrr-rrrr-rr like it's not getting petrol or air, the rev tacho goes up/down 2-3mm when it's happening. The car has been very well looked after, full service history and 1 owner...

Have been told I can get a 5spd box in my KF but not a 380 due to wiring differences, but with no explanation. There's the same number of gears so what exactly is so special about the 380 transmission? I'm not a huge fan of the 5spd magna box as the cars i've driven with it in have been much...

Whats the easiest way to remove the fuel filter on my 2000 tj magna executive 3.5 6G74

My TL has just started stalling at idle when the a/c is running. It'll be idling smoothly as normal, then just give a couple of splutters and die. It only does this when the a/c is on, and the car is in gear. I've checked and cleaned the ISC. Resistance is out of spec (47-48 ohms on each pair of...

Hi, chasing some rims for my TJ VR-X. Will FORD stud fit? Thanks.

Hi all, I have recently acquired a 01 Magna executive that had a blown engine. As I have gone about replacing the engine I have been quietly looking over all the great threads in this forum for some much need guidance. I have come to a point now where I need to ask a question of the mitsi...

car must be getting old, now the handbrake is sticking on. Lever feels fine when released but pads seem to stick on, and then release with a bang when the car starts to move. Has anyone had this before? thanks

hi the ignition barrel in my TE magna buggered up so I bought a second complete setup with key and security ring can I install this and will it work or being a different key set off the immobiliser or do I keep the original and get the new key coded to the car cheers.

Hi all, a friend of mine has a KJ Verada and she said its using a lot of petrol, I told her it maybe the oxygen sensor, does anyone one have any ideas what can cause excessive fuel consumption besides the oxygen sensor, also what is the best oxygen sensor to buy off ebay? Cheers

I've just taken off both cylinder heads from my TJ Magna.....a 2000 model Solara. The reason is that it overheated whilst towing a trailer and burnt a couple of valves...a compression test showed this. I think my radiator was clogged up for some obscure reason. I won't go into this part right...

Hey Guys, brought a 1999 TH Magna altera 6 months ago. Since owning the car the fuel gauge stoped working followed but the trip computer then the speed alert. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated, cheers.

As listed above I'm after someone who is a mechanic but preferably specifically works with Mitsubishi and magna in ADELAIDE who knows their stuff top to bottom inside out

Am currently running TRW pads on the front (380 rotors) and I can't stand the brake dust and the squeal - have roughed them up 4x as well as rotors and redone copper grease, they just won't shut up. I used to run Bendix General CT pads and they were great, not much visible dust and zero noise...

Hi everyone, Are there any damper boot kits that are better than others or can I just go for the Monroe Strut mate kits for the 3rd gen? Also does anyone have the part numbers for the rear bushes on a 3rd gen sedan? TL rear subframe. Primarily interested in the rear trailing arm bushes as...

Greetings, As we all know the plastic heater pipes and O-rings are a common problem on the later Model Magna's. I bought a very tidy 2003 Sports model with a proper gearbox a few months back (great car). I quickly realized that the heaters were non-existent and found that they had been...
