Does Your Mitsubishi Transmission Need Attention?

Catching transmission issues early can save you thousands in repair costs. Watch out for these warning signs:

  • Shuddering or hesitation during acceleration (common in CVT-equipped models)
  • Delayed engagement when shifting from park to drive
  • Harsh or jerky gear changes, particularly the 2-3 shift
  • Transmission warning lights on your dashboard
  • Unusual whining, clunking, or grinding noises
  • Transmission fluid leaks under your vehicle
  • Loss of power when towing or carrying heavy loads
  • Overheating during Perth’s summer months

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t wait. Early diagnosis prevents minor issues from becoming major headaches.

Common Mitsubishi Transmission Problems We Fix

CVT Shudder (INVECS-III)

This is the most common issue we see in ASX, Outlander, and Eclipse Cross models. The transmission shudders or vibrates during acceleration, particularly from a standstill. Often caused by degraded CVT fluid or software calibration issues, we address this through fluid replacement and, where applicable, TCM updates.

Delayed Engagement

When you shift into drive or reverse and nothing happens for a few seconds, you’re experiencing delayed engagement. This can indicate low fluid levels, worn clutch packs, or valve body issues. We diagnose the root cause rather than just topping up fluid.

Harsh Shifting in 6-Speed Automatics

Triton and Pajero Sport owners sometimes report harsh 2-3 shifts or torque converter lock-up shudder. These symptoms often point to torque converter wear or transmission control module adaptation issues. We test drive your vehicle, analyse data logs, and pinpoint the exact component at fault.

Overheating

Perth’s heat combined with towing a caravan or boat can push your transmission beyond its thermal limits. We install heavy-duty auxiliary coolers and check your cooling system’s overall health to prevent transmission damage.

  • Triton (MQ, MR, MT generations) – Perth’s favourite tradie ute

I booked the vehicle in for a noise I thought was coming from the gearbox. Graham inspected the vehicle and found it was not a gearbox issue. Graham pointed out other possible faults that could result in the problem i was experiencing. I felt reassured and can highly recommend this repairer who didn't charge me for the diagnosis. Thanks to Cameron and the team at Automatic Transmission R Us a job well done.

Trailblazer/ Colorado TC shudder Had to fight with Holden for many years for a repair for the TC shudder, offered a band aid fix from Holden that failed on two previous occasions. The team at Transmissions R us were completely honest, as a mechanic in a previous life the explanation of the common problem made sense. (Phoenix Holden constantly denied this issue) Had the Transmission repaired and drove like new, I literally drove the vehicle across Australia towing a boat. After 10 months noticed some slight leaking of ATF on the bell housing. The team repaired the leak that included removal of the Transmission without question.Highly recommend this business.

Took my car in recently on short notice when I was informed of a auto trans issue from my normal mechanic. I was met with exceptional customer service and expertise which lead to a quick diagnosis to confirm my true issue which was a crappy ac compressor making the noise. Will definitely be returning to these guys in the future for any auto trans work.

FAQs

How often should a Mitsubishi CVT be serviced in Perth conditions?

In Perth’s climate, we recommend servicing your CVT every 45,000 km if you regularly tow, carry heavy loads, or drive in stop-start traffic. For lighter use, 90,000 km intervals are acceptable. Perth’s heat accelerates fluid degradation, so more frequent servicing protects your investment.
