auto boxes

right i know chuff all about auto box's

but the one on our mitsi although it drives perfect, never seems to really put its power down and lock up ?

i know its not a landy but i thought it the best area to put it, as it was car related at least!

it also seems very eager to slip down a gear from top when going up the slightest of inclines. Obviously this isnt helping full economy.

any tips? or obvious things I should check.

i was going to replace the tranny fluid for a start but dont really know what im looking for to be honest. Its a mitsubishi 2.8 challenger (same as shogun). Making sure I get the right fluid as I have heard they are picky about what fluid is in them.

burn the pile of crap

Thought s@@t don't burn ??? :bolt:

mrs loves the thing. Its quiet, comfy, lets her blend in with the other school mums so se doesnt feel left out....

I had a Mitsi L200 Delica for a while, lovely to drive but being an automatic was very thisty. Paid £4k for it and sold it a year later for £400, an expensive lesson :violin:

ouch!

First thing to check would be kickdown cable may need adjusting (I believe it should be adjusted to 35mm), . Next would be a good oil flush, filter change and refil. If its still happening then its a new gearbox needed, my friends Pajero has just developed this issue and its down to an ageing auto box...

just rang a mate at mitsubishi, he is going to pop over tomorrow and do an oil flush for me etc and have a looksee over it. Its freezing out and as he is only charging me 20 notes to to it... its not worth me getting cold
