ClubCJ - The CJ Lancer Club

Ok only had the car few days and on warm up there is a noise that sounds like its coming from somewhere near the gearbox also when driving the gearbox seems to hesatate to shift gears also it goes from 2500rpm up to 3000rpm hold for a bit then starts to build up higher rpm not sure if this a normal thing for the ralliart lancer but i have it booked in monday to get checked out.Iam the second owner and car has had all it s services done.

Interesting, not sure what is the problem.

How many k's has the car travelled?

Did you buy it from a Mitsubishi dealer and is it under warranty?

Let us know the outcome please.

Car has done 53000km and is still under warranty till 2013 plus i took a extended warranty car was bought from lander Mitsubishi

You should have no issues getting this fixed under warranty then. This is good as SST transmissions are not cheap.

Will keep you guys informed hope its something simple

Just been watching some videos on youtube mine doesnt shift anything like the cars on there.They were all nice smooth shifts no hesatation when changing through the gears with the cars i watched.

does it go away after the car has warmed up ? Mine seems to shift funny when it's cold but is fine after warming up.

Though i've notice the SST shifting from 1st to 2nd is really slow compared to the rest , anyone else noticed ?

yeah mines the same, it shifts really strange up until the car has fully warmed up.
i dunno ive just hit 40,000km another 60,000 and ill probably get rid of it.

Ok just got back from the service department and they have found a fault with the gearbox and are now waiting on headoffice to get back to them on what to do been told the car is still ok to drive been told might take a day or two to get get back to me

Update on gearbox drama i rang Lander Mitsubishi again today as ive not heard anything back from them about the repair go ahead was told that the headoffice gets busy at the end of the month with repair requests told it may take a day or two to get back to me i will give them till friday then going back to the dealership to see if i can get a straight answer

Hi there,
Mitsubishi sometimes can take up to a week or sometimes to get back to the dealer when problems like this occur.The Mitsu rep may need to drive your car before this repair goes ahead.

Car was driven by a mechanic and they have said there is something wrong
just waiting to here back form HQ

Update went and seen service department this morning and was told a replacement gearbox has been ordered just waiting for the call to book the car in was told should only take a day to replace

Excellent outcome, I hope that doesn't cost you a cent.
