You are really going to have to source a..

MD757211 OIL SEAL,A/T 2ND BRAKE RETAINER

.. before you can do this job. That seal gets destroyed during disassembly. It's a weird little thingy, and no alternative but genuine for this. I know they were used on a few variants of this transmission, including some Mitsubishi Magnas here in Australia, so someone will be able to source them. I would not be surprised if some Hyundais also had them because they also used variants of the box.

But if you can't find a..

1 x MD756673* O-RING,A/T CASE

.. then call some bearing or oil seal shops with the specs for the aftermarket alternatives I listed in the OzVR4 thread.

Can the 2nd brake retainer be taken out of the vale body before you remove the internals and not damage it.

Ill have to have a look at the box ive got this weekend.

Have some rep for your work on this.

[eyeballprawn]

Cheers. I was looking at the little bugger that came out of my box tonight while explaining the process to someone and had the same thought about taking it out via the valve body first. When fitted, the fragile lip of the seal squashes right up against the second brake piston and possibly pushes between it and the casing. My feeling is that when you pull it out backwards the lip will get caught. But you can always give it a go and see what happens!

Just be aware that if you damage the seal in the process then you won't be able to reassemble your box until you can order another one in. If you need the car for work you'd better hope it doesn't have to be back ordered from Japan!

Theoretically you could also not replace any of the other seals either. The o-rings are probably right to use again, the metal seal rings seem solid, you might not damage your valve body gasket etc. Overall it's a cheap job and I wasn't going to cut corners, I'm hoping not to have it apart again for a while.

So my recommendation would be to order all the parts, and if you don't end up using them all then offer up the leftovers here to other members contemplating this procedure.

Mike - I was speaking to Rich yesterday and we are up for this as a joint thing if it's alright by you.

VERY good rates are available as it will be the first one either of us has done.

We have several boxes to have a good look at first too.

[miller]

Rest of my parts have arrived plus I ordered front shocks for the Airtrek last Thursday. I was told 3 weeks for delivery! Result! They arrived today so that means a comfortable journey to Eire!

Trevor, try another dealer near you if you havent had any luck, i would imagine Chris Variave parts dept would direct you to a NI Mitsi delaer.

If not you need to ask for Andy in Parts Dept on 0115 8553040. That is Chris Variava of Nottingam.

Cheers

Mike

There is a fulll guide in the members section. £20 to join and will save you hundreds if done by a garage. Even less as you are in Oz

[Turbo_Steve]

I was thinking about doing this, but I'm scared of that gasket.
