Hey Graham, what were you doing to get the CVT that hot.

Did the car go in to limp mode or any other warning?
Posted: Wed Jun 23, 2010 8:12 pm
The car went into limp mode, in third gear it wouldn't let me downshift to second even at 50km/h
wouldn't take off if I floored it either
I was changing gears and accelerating heavily alot that probably caused it

I agree with Shane. I'd be replacing your CVT Fluid.

CVT fluid sounds expensive 
Does it have to be bought from Mitsu?

Yes, you must use Genuine CVT Fluid to avoid any possible damage.

From the sounds of it maybe I won't track my car at the next wakefield track day. Would that error message void the warranty on the box?

The error basically means you have overheated the CVT Fluid. It's not a major issue provided it doesn't happen frequently or continuously. Replacement of the fluid is recommended though to retain maximum performance and function of the fluid in the workings of the gearbox, thus preventing further damage.
As for voiding the warranty, that can be a touchy subject. But I would say no it would not, provided of course it is not a common occurrence. Lots of driving situations can cause this error, for example towing a large load like a caravan uphill has the chance of producing this error.
I would recommend asking your Mitsubishi Dealer's service manager for his advice on the matter.
