driving to work thismorning and it started slipping abit at take off so i just took off alot slower from then on and it started slipping more, once moving gear changes where fine.

got to work

coming home

got about halfway and it started slipping dramatically i wsa having to take off like a *** deseased grandpa, takes about 20seconds to get to 50km/h any faster than that and itd slip
5 minutes later it started changing rapidly and the neutral indicater started flashing

i pulled over and when to turn on my interior light only to jerk my memory that it blew a few days ago, so reading my manual by my fully sic sony erricson built in light, it described neutral indicater flashing is a warning lamp for the automatic transmision, have it checked out by an authorised mitsubishi service centre as soon as possible, the automatic transmision is malfunctioning, i think the idiot who wrote that was malfunctioning, OBVIOUSLY i looked up automatic transmision because mine was malfunctioning, im not gunna look it up because i want a fries with my *** big mac

ANYWAY

i stoped for about 5 minutes and then started off again really slowly, after much coffufle and running of stop signs i managed to get home, JUST.

anybody know what the problem is and dont dare say its malfunctioning, im gunna take it into a transmision specialist tomoro morning but i thought id just check it out here first.

any ideas people.


help greatly appreciated.

its possible you may be really low on transmission fluid, but i'm sure you would have notice some sort of leakage.

WHen you say it was 'slipping', were you revving the engine and it still moved really slowly?

yeah im reving and its slipping slowly getting faster but mostly slipping
the more i rev the slower it actually accelerates because its slipping more

im ignoring you kurt simply because i hope your wrong

I would agree with TecoDaN.
Check the trannie fluid, it could be running empty. You could have a small crack in the gearbox causing it to leak.
Ive had this problem also in an hold HSV I used to own. Check the levels, fill up. Drive for a few minutes to re-lube everything. Should be fine.

i think its gone 2! same thing happened to me when i had the FTO...actually happened twice in the FTO...u must have been thrashing it though? i only starting having problems with the FTO once i started driving it really hard :confused: thats why now i drive the magna with much more care, mitsu autos need extra care and attention :nuts:

i suggest u sell ur car, once u fix it, or it will go again!
