Firstly thank you all for the posts on these two problems.
Unfortunately I live in a small rural community and the nearest Auto specialists are four hour return trip away, so difficult to arrange service.
I contacted the person who did transmission fluid changed Castrol Automatic TQM-ST (Suitable for most models of Hyundai, Mitsubishi & Proton) Formulated to meet the performance requirements of the Mitsubishi SP-2/2M and SP-3 specification.
I drained the sump and refilled with same fluid as only type available where I live.
After driving checked hot level and fluid is at correct level.
Transmission now:
1. When first starting car in morning, move selector to R slight delay then slight clunk into R. Same for D.
2. Slight hesitation changing while cold.
3. Driving around town sometimes hesitation changing down when stopping and then moving off at give ways.
4. On long trips occasional funny down shift when kicked to overtake.
5. Bit noisy (?)
Any ideas appreciated. Am looking for reliable and trustworthy transmission company in Canberra.
Any suggestions glady accepted.
