alright i got this gumout spray for my intake and it is just a cleaner i have used it before my car turns on fine now and everything but it is the takin off part if i try to floor it takes 6 secs to change to 2nd gear it cant go fast as i use to my rpms take to long to go up and in order for me to change gears i have to let go of the gas

what in the hell is the problem please help

you might want to check your auto trans fluid level, sounds like its a bit low to me, happend to my auto, gave me heaps of troubles so i went to get it serviced and the bloke told me the fluid was low, btw i recomend a auto trans service anyway..... drive so much smoother now :)

yeah im trying to take it to mitsubishi was it low trans fluid that was what i was told buy some people but i have had also the problem with the car yanking when it does change gears do you know buy chance how much fluid should i put

i wouldn't have a clue, i paid the local guy to do mine ......much cheaper than mitz, but i would just try trail and error, ie: put some in, let it sit and check the level, but i would also check what kind of fluid it needs cos i've been told it needs a different fluid type. it might not be worth doing if the filter inside the auto-box is blocked or clogged some how though.

yeah i talked to my grandpa you know us mexicans with their auto shops and he said that i would need a speacial fluid for my trans and he said it would be best to take it to mitz to look at it

cool, hope ive been some help to ya but it's still early..... someone may of had a similar prob to share in the morning.

Definately sounds like tranny fluid levels, there will be a dipstick in your engine bay, yellow or orange i'd say which will show you tranny fluid level, the oil on the dipstick will be a reddy brown colour depending on it's age, if it's brown or black that'll be your engine oil dipstick so keep looking.

The spec for your ATF(tranny fluid) should be in your owners manual, I don't know it off the top of my head but you should be able to buy a top up bottle from any local auto shop if you want to have a try yourself while you wait to get it to a dealership. Just like engine oil, really, fill it to the dipstick mark, take it for a drive using all gears including reverse then check it again so see if it changed.

That is of course unless the fluid in your auto is the original mitsu fluid from 1989. Like mine was.

I don't have an auto myself so someone will have to check on this... aren't you suppose to check the auto fluid with the engine running? Unlike engine oil?

ATF AUTO MHP 5.8L 4cyl TN/TP
ATF AUTO MHP 7.5L TR/TS 4 cyl & V6
ATF AUTO MHP 7.8L TE/TF 4 cyl
ATF AUTO MHP 8.5L TE/TF/TH V6 3.0L & 3.5L

TJ Refer to dealer. 8.4L
TL Refer to dealer. No capacity stated.

I hope the above helps.

The above fluid (ATF AUTO MHP) is a Penrite oil. It meets Mitsubishi's requirements for the oil and is also for where MM SP, MM SP2 and DEXRON®-IID are specified. Thats all you need to know, as the semi-syn fluid meets the Mitsubishi SP2 spec.

The auto fluid from Penrite (and I also believe other manufactures) are available in like 4L, 20L, 60L or 205L. The problem being that the capacities are so different it would be easier to take it to a dealer, or a place that has RAA/RACV/NRMA etc accreditation. Don't take it to a place that hasn't got the accreditation, there must be a reason for it!

Unless of course you like buy 2 4L containers, you may have some spare. If you don't you can always may up to a 20 percent? mix of a good oil stabiliser like Morey's to stretch it further (refer to the label). And not to mention that stuff wouldn't be a bad idea to have in there anyways.

we sell and use SP3 in all the automatic Mitsu's at work
