A/T ayaw mag engage Drive

[emdee_27]

Galant Super saloon 1997 A/T

Incident: on a stop and go trapik, nabigla ko ang apak sa accelarator, na paiyak ko ang gulong sa bigla at malakas ang biglang arangkada ng kotse.

later on, after parking for a whole day at pauwi na, i shifted to drive, walang response... antay for 1 minute...nothing happens, shifted back to neutral and back to drive...nothing happens, when i shifted back to drive, 2nd and L... wala parin

but.. when shifting to reverse, engage agad at walang problema.

I need to shift to drive, and then press the accelarator...umaabot ng 2000rpm bago mag engage drive...kaya laging kumadyot ang kotse.

i test drive it.. pag nasa drive na at umaandar no problem sa shifting, lahat ng shift at nag down shift... ang accelaration wala din problem.

na feel ko lang lagi ngayon, everytime a made a full stop from a relatively high speed where i think na nasa high gear ako ... na feel ko pag full stop pag nag downshift na sya to 1st gear, me shift shock na, dati wala.

walang nag blink sa gear ligths walang ibang ligths or check engine din na naka ilaw.

the ATF was changed last year including the strainer/filter. the ATF doesnt smell burnt... kulay pula pa color.

I have it checked sa rapide, they changed again the atf, pull down the oil pan, changed the filter, then made a diagnostic test sa ecu... walang nakitang error code.

verdict nila; nasira daw first gear, me kumalas daw at kelangan palitan ang buong transmission... a very expensive quote ang sinabi

need your help... advice... suggestion... me naka experience na ba ng ganito sainyo

thanks...sorry for a long explanation

all i can say is that you'd better get a second opinion from a shop that's more reputable than rapide. there are so many horror stories w/ regards to the way they treat their clientele bro

Ask around for surplus transmissions in Banawe. Also try browsing through Mitsu-specific forums and you might get lucky.

Hmmm... first order of business, get a second opinion. We generally don't trust Rapide...

now, hinde na siya umuusad, but the reverse still working.

I think palit na nga tranny nito, nagtanong ako sa banawe 15k daw plus labour na 2.5k

[afrasay]

di kaya sa linkages lang yan?

[mbeige]

^^ my thoughts too. Parang biglaan masyado for ALL forward gears to just die out.

[afrasay]

my sentiments too. di naman ganyan agad bumigay ang auto tranny.

[emdee_27]

yung linkage ba nasa loob din ng tranny? pano ma check yung linkage... isip ko kasi pag sa shop e tiyak na sasabihin nila palit na tranny... yun kasi pinaka madali sa kanila....

alam ko kung sira torque converter e pati reverse din hinde na gagana...

[bratski]

yan talaga sakit ng mga 94-97 model galant a/t's. a friend of mine has a busted transmission din and it cost him 80k sa casa pag palit ng new transmission. Get a 2nd opinion, minsan kasi baka kulang lang sa atf ang tranny mo. Yung starex namin mabagal din response when put in D and nung na check ko yung fluid walang wala na pala. You should check your atf when your engine's running and nakapag byahe ka na at least 10 minutes to warm up the atf. Kung ok naman level malamang palitin na nga yan, its near impossible to repair a matic tranny, even if makakuha ka ng magaling na mekaniko it still wont run as good as before and sigurado mas mahal pa aabutin mo. Look for a surplus unit nalang, its cheaper

[impulzz]

try resetting the ecu, mitsu's a/t have a separate ecu for the A/T. baka makuha sa reset. tanggal muna battery after a few minutes kabit ulit. its the simplest way. and won't cost you even 1 centavo.

How did you know sira yung torque converter? Linkages are outside the transmission housing. Open engine look at the sides maybe sa harap ng kaunti near the chassis rails the linkages should be there. If not maybe sa transmission tunnel area may connection to the transmission mismo. Maybe neutral safety switch rin lang yan.
