Common automatic transmission problems in Mitsubishi cars
1. Gear slippage
* There is a feeling of slippage or delay when shifting gears.
*This may be due to a worn clutch, low transmission fluid, or electronic control problems.
2. Hard shifts
* Gears shift abruptly, causing noticeable jolts.
*This may be due to worn solenoids, a faulty transmission control module, or torque converter problems.
3. Gear stuck
* The transmission does not shift to a higher gear, even when accelerating.
*This may be caused by problems with the solenoids, transmission control module, or wiring.
4. Switch to emergency mode
* The transmission goes into limp mode due to a problem being detected.
*This is usually accompanied by an error message on the dashboard.
*The cause may be due to problems with the transmission fluid, electronics, or mechanical components.
5. Transmission fluid leak
* Leaking transmission fluid can cause low fluid levels and problems with transmission operation.
*Leaks can be caused by faulty gaskets, seals or lines.
6. Noise and vibration
*Unusual sounds or vibrations coming from the transmission may indicate worn bearings, gears, or other components.
7. Overheating
* The transmission may overheat due to low fluid levels, cooling problems, or faulty mechanical components.
*This may cause premature wear and damage.
8. Problems with electronics
*Electronic problems with sensors, solenoids, or the transmission control module can affect transmission performance.
* This may result in unpredictable gear shifting, limp mode, and other problems.
