Mitsubishi ATF SPIII Tranny fluid...no more?!

[ammerty]

Had the discussion with the local Mitsi yard's Spare Parts department and after 20 minutes over the phone of searching their database they tell me they can't find any SPIII ATF in any volume!
So I was a bit sceptical, but after running the part numbers for the different volumes sure enough they all came back as nil stock Australia wide and no replacement part.

I'd be surprised if the Mitsubishi-branded SP-III was to be discontinued. Its possible your parts guy may believe its NLA because it won't show any quantities of available volume on Mitsubishi's stock checker, as stock isn't actually held by Mitsubishi; but rather supplied by a 3rd party vendor.
If you're in Perth, I'd be checking with Paceway Mits at Osborne Park.
