3rd Gear Issue

Postby Miss Aussie » Mon Feb 13, 2012 6:10 pm

A month ago, I started having issues with getting my car into 3rd gear all the time.

It felt as though I was pushing the shifter against a wall and there was no 3rd gear.
I had to adjust it a few times and keep pushing to get it in.

Took it to Mitsubishi who told me my selector box needs to be replaced.

Bit annoying seeing as it only has 6k on it. :(

Anyone else had issues with this?

Kinda have that problem too although didn't happen at 6k... I've already done 126k on mine... that being said I still have to take it back to the dealer for a warranty check...

How do I drive it? Normally lol.
Whether I drive it like a granny or push it hard. Constantly happens.

I thought maybe it was me but got my dad to try it and it was the same for him. The guy at Mitsubishi found the same issue.
Mind you, he had to take it for a 17k test drive (and drove it hard) to come to this conclusion.

Certainly seems that way.
I'm not impressed with my car at all to be honest.

But oh well

I ha the exact same problem with 12,000ish on the clock. But after a month from it first happening it seamed to fix itself and haven't had a problem since :)
