does anyone know when the auto gearbox is faulty, the car lets you know by flashing the gear position lights on the instrument panel or gear shift panel? i thought i read that in the manual before but anyone know the specifics?

Yea, I think from memory the 'N' light should start flashing :?

Yep been there done that. My old man's 96 TE 3.0L Gearbox had a problem and the N started flashing. Get it to a mitsu dealer asap if thats the case.

I can't remember exactly...but it's something like...

If it flashes slowly then the auto is overheating. If it flashes rapidly then there's something wrong with the auto itself.

Yes the N should flash on the instrument cluster. The faster it does the more seriouse apparently so.
