Monterosport A/T problem??

[spotdog11]

I have also experienced this a few times when driving on mountainous roads. If I leave the gear in Drive while negotiating long, steep, winding roads, this has a tendency to happen. However, if you stop or at least slow down, it will go back to normal.

To avoid this, shift to sports mode or use the paddle shifter and select gears manually BEFORE negotiating mountainous roads. If you continue to use "D", and this happens, you will not be able to shift anymore even if you shift to sports mode. You would need to slow down or stop to correct this issue once it is present already. I never experienced this again since I started using the paddle shifter BEFORE the steep inclines. By the way, this does not happen on short inclined roads.

The invecs tranny of the monty is a learning tranny which adjusts to the driving behavior of the driver. You would notice this when you change your driving pattern and then shifting points will change after driving it for a while. When we are driving on mountainous roads, shifting points are greatly changed. I think the tranny just learns a bit slow as to realize that we are already on a flat surface. Just give it a bit more time.

This is just my own personal opinion and honestly, i dont know either if it is considered normal. A few members of MSCP has also encountered this issue but so far, no escalated damage or issue has been reported. It seems to be just a temporary issue which corrects on its own.

ako naman, once in a while i love to workout the monty's tranny on an uphill climb in makati's mall parking ramps

i would purposely drive real slow going up and at times, even stop midway (pag walang kasunod) and then climb up again

Hi, I'm now having the same problem on the tranny of my 2012 Montero Sport GTV (150,000 kms). After driving for more than 50 kms or more and on mainly uphill, the "D" blink (engine check light on) and the transmission is stuck at 3rd gear. Even if I stop and Park, then proceed to drive it's in 3rd gear, which means from stop position.

I was advised by a mechanic to overhaul the transmission and after doing so the same problem persists. Now what I'm doing if the "D" blink and engine check "On", I stop the engine and restart. It will work properly for a while with engine check still "On", but after few kilometers the "D" will blink again and has to start from engine off.

After several days the engine check will automatically turn-off and light "On" again when the "D" starts to blink.

Any thought or experienced that can help on my dilemma? Computer checks had been done and even the input shaft speed sensor had replace.

similar case of a faulty inhibitor switch. have it checked or might need replacement. if you are near manila, you might want to bring it to zix performance.

Hi! might be a bit late but ganto rin problem ko sa 5 speed A/T monty ko and what fixed this was by installing an oil cooler. usually kapag galing 5th gear then downshift to 3 agad dun na siya naiistuck sa gear and blinking "D" rin (minsan may check engine na rin). seems that when mtsubishi released 5 speed tranny di nila inupgrade yung oil cooler na galing sa 4 speed tranny.
