RE: auto tranny fluid
Newer Mitsu transmissions require a unique fluid. Amsoil makes something that they say is compatible but I would not trust it. I believe anything other than Mitsu fluid will void the warrenty. Plus the mitsu fluid is pretty good, it is partial synthetic. Kia and Hyundai use the same fluid. So if you cant get Mitsu you can use Kia or Hyundai. They also call it Diamond SP III. As far as what is specifically wrong with B&M, this is a quote from their web site. Note that it says "not for transmissions made after 2000."
B&M’s Synthetic Trick Shift is formulated as a performance automatic transmission fluid. B&M’s Synthetic Trick Shift features the latest synthetic fluid technology suitable for most late model automatic transmissions as well as many manual transmissions. Not an additive, this safe and effective formula of extreme pressure agents, foam inhibitors and exceptional thermal stability will provide a long service life for your transmission. Ideal for street use and high performance applications including racing, off-road, towing and heavy- duty fleet use. Synthetic Trick Shift may be mixed with all other types of ATF but works best by itself. When using B&M Synthetic Trick Shift you can literally ‘Pour In Performance’. Meets or exceeds Mercon or Dexron III requirements. Not recommended for automatic transmissions manufactured after 2000. Synthetic Trick Shift is not intended for use in CVTs. May be used in manual transmissions requiring automatic transmission fluid as lubricant.

Yeah dood....make sure you only use Mitsu fluid for this. Why don't you just get this done for you? Then spend the time waxin' *** or hangin' with the Chief.
