Might be your valve body. The solenoids in it might be going bad. You can take it off and have it checked. Now might be a good time to contact IPT and get a reworked valve body with shift kit.

You can buy a used one from [URL="http://www.mitsubishigraveyard.com/"]Mitsubishi Graveyard[/url]

 

Hard shifting is generally a better sign than slow slipping sloppy shifting. (Jesus, say that 3 times...) I'm with EE on this one.

 

 

You guys are rediculous!
I was about to put a shift kit in anyways, I just wanted to make sure it probably wasnt something else like the Torque converter.

 

Im not sure if the 2G's transmission shift points are dependent on the TPS like the 1G's are because I had issues with my 1G shifting rough etc.. turns out the TPS was bad and was out of adjustment, soon as I replaced it and adjusted it I got my smooth downshifts etc.. back.

 

Hard shifting is where it's at, mate!

 

People pay money for their cars to shift like that. Why are you complaining about it? Add it to the list of free mods.

 

Transmission slips when shifting into 3rd from 2nd. Well, it seems like it goes into neutral for a split second then shifts into 3rd. I've seen this with dsm trannys before and they lasted a good while(I've never seen one fail with this symptom). I really would like help to diagnose the issue. I am in no way a transmission guru but it seems like a fluid pressure issue since it only does this in partial throttle conditions. But, it can always be the clutchs, right?

 

It is NOT the clutches.


Re-adjust your TPS; the TCU is reliant on TPS for shift points and shift pressure.


This is because of a malfunctioning pressure control solenoid valve, most likely. Pull the transmission pan, un-bolt the valve body, and then take out the solenoid with the blue wire going to it. Take ohm readings.

Thanks alot man, I was confused cause it shifts quicker the more torque thats applied.

What should the ohm reading range be?

I'm guessing around 70 ohms?

 

Anyone know what ohms I should be looking for?

Gonna call IPT.

 

If im recalling the OHMS should be .9 or broken down to .90 when at just closed-idle. I had mine set at .90 but was getting rough shifting when slowing down into 2nd and 1st gear. I actually went and brought the ohms down to .85 ohms which got rid of the harsh downshifts almost all together but I lost some power and have somwhat ruff upshifts. My recomendation is to use a very good Multi-Meter and dont rely on the cheapo ones as my cheapo one didnt originally tell me my TPS was bad until I let a tech at my job use some crazy Multi-Meter that records spikes in V-OHMS, thats when he spotted it was bad.

 

He's asking for the ohms on the solenoid on the valve body. Sorry but I have no idea since I'm quite a bit away from home to look it up.
