That fluid does exist for the Xcase. If none of your local parts stores have it in stock, they can probably order it.

As for your transmission problem, there's lots of experience on the forums on using various fluids in Mitsu tranny's. My theory is that there are probably non-mitsu ATF fluids that will work fine in the transmission, however I'm not willing to risk having to rebuild my tranny by not using the correct fluid so if you want to be safe, use Mitsu ATF.

Also the filter is a screen filter and can sometimes be cleaned versus replaced but if you're gonna be removing it to clean anyway, I'd rather just put in a new one unless I really couldn't afford one.

Sorry, not sure what might be wrong with your brakes but I'm sure someone here will be able to help.

Last but not least, be sure to read up the FAQ thread. Lots of good info there including where to download a pdf copy of your factory service manual (FSM).
