I'm unfamiliar with your trans but it sounds like 2nd and 4th are on the same drum. The clutch frictions are probably toast on that drum. When slippage occurs the TCM sets a code and skips those gears. When you shut it off the drive cycle reset until the next time it saw slippage. The dealership should see a 2nd/4th slippage code. It will probably need a complete rebuild.



Well that blows. I can't find anyone on the evo forums with the same issue. If this is the case the dealer is keeping the car and I'll get something else. I'll see what my results are on Monday

this is why no one likes the dual clutch on the evos. Everyone prefers the 5 speed


The dealer told me that if this ends up being trashed we will pretend like the sale never happened and he said he could find me a 5 speed one if I wanted. Not sure what I'll do, honestly 1 hour of light driving and likely a major issue? Kinda scares me away from an already pricey to maintain vehicle

shouldve test drove it before buying it


I did test drive it, a pretty lengthy test drive too. It ran flawlesslly through it. I had no doubts about the cars condition while test driving it.

After deeper research I've found some old threads of two owners with similar(not identical) issues. Both were solved by a simple fluids change and Reflash.
There's just as much hate on the evo 5 speeds. The main reason people prefer them is because the SST is only good to like 450hp.
I don't plan on pushing that much, 350 is where I'm going to get it and stop.

He's a really good guy.
I will have updates on Monday as to what's going on with the car.

You were one of the ones I was hoping would have input as I trust your information.
I'm researching how these transmissions even work. I know absolutely nothing about them.

When you said it was skipping gears I automatically assumed it had a conventional automatic in it.

/e didn't read the second part of this thread.

still sounds like something the previous owner abused, but I hate dual clutches just for that reason, too many parts can go bad.

After completely giving up on the first Mitsubishi dealer and going to another it's finally figured out that it's an issue with the clutch fork

Transmission needs rebuilt
