I need to know what type of transmission fluid to use when i change it in my 02 lancer. It is a manual transmission

You have a few options but there are some that will convert Regular ATF if you add the "FRICTION MODIFIER". The IMPORT Fluid will say it on the Bottle, If your Transmission is a CVT Transmission (you have the smaller engine), then you need to get to the dealer. But normally the Import will say the Proper Fluid on the Bottle.

Do you have a manual or automatic transmission?

Autimatic transmission: I would start first by checking the fluid level. I'm not familiar with your exact transmission, but for most cars, you should check the level with the engine running. While you're checking the fluid level (assuming it is full) check the color and smell of the fluid. It should not look or smell burned. If it does, take it in to a transmission shop to have it checked out.

Manual Transmission: This could be a couple different things but more than likely your clitch is worn out or in need of adjustment.

In both instances, either manual or automatic, you should take the car in to a transmission shop to have it fixed before it gets worse and costs more to repair.

The owners manual says nothing about ATF change intervals. The warranty manual says check it regularly. In the severe service section of the warranty manual it says for severe duty change it at 30,000 miles(48,000 kilometers). I would consider changing the ATF no later than 50,000 miles(80,000 kilometers). Mitsubishi cars use there own Diamond ATF SP III. If you do not change it by 60,000 to 70,000 miles (96,000 to 113,000 kilometers) the transmission may start to act funny when shifting. Regular changes will keep you from experiencing this problem. Be sure to use genuine Mitsubishi Diamond ATF SP III or a synthetic equivalent.

Automatic Transmission,F4A42-1

you can't put the transmission fluid in yourself on an auto or manual transmission for a 2002 lancer es. It has to be injected into the transmission through a nipple that is on the transmission.

Manual Transmission Plug Locations

pull the lower plug from the transmission, it will be on the bottom or the side on the bottom. replace the plug after draining and remove the fill plug wich is about half way up the side of the transmission. use 75w 90 gear oil in the trans.
good luck

Most cars you top up the trans fluid through the stem that the dip stick for the transmission goes into.

hope this is helpful.
