Oh, but it would... but naturally only when you didn't want it to: From http://dynamic.dotars.gov.au/recalls Problem: DEFECTIVE GEAR SELECTOR Make: MITSUBISHI Model: Magna Variant: TN Auto Date Range: 1988 VIN Ranges: REFER FILE Status: Inactive Defect: Gear selector levers supplied by M T M Controls Aust P/L may be defective, allowing fore and aft movement of the lever without pressing the detent button.

From memory when they did fail something let go in the housing and bits went in all directions destroying virtually everything. I know one poor bloke who bought a new Magna wagon as a courier vehicle and it had the auto replaced twice in the first 6 mths, the trans failures must have cost Mitsubishi a fortune to repair.

When they finally got around to admitting there was a problem. They didn't for quite a while. -- Regards, Noddy.

IIRC, they had their owners convinced the problem was someone else's - and that Shell actually produced a container that suggested the fluid within was speshul - just for MMAL's trannies. WTF was that all about?

WTF was that all about? Mitsubishi are notorious for hiding known faults or avoiding vehicle recalls at every opportunity(which is why they've spent so much time in court in recent years). Thats what that was all about... > Wasn't that the Auto-trans *Oil* issue? No, they had a problem with a machanical component that crapped itself and took a lot of other sh.t out when it did. > IIRC, they had their owners convinced the problem was someone else's - > and that Shell actually produced a container that suggested the fluid > within was speshul - just for MMAL's trannies. WTF was that all about? They do take their own special trans fluid, and will f.ck up quite quickly if you use regular fluid, and that's still the case to this day as far as I'm aware. However, that's not something that's unique to MMAL. Ford does the same thing with their late model auto's. Running the wrong fluid will generally have them flare on shifts almost immediately. -- Regards, Noddy. >> From memory when they did fail something let go in the housing and bits >> went in all directions destroying virtually everything. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > When they finally got around to admitting there was a problem. The problems owners faced getting them repaired under warranty was lack of available parts, there were so many failures that they couldn't keep up the parts supply. As I never owned one I don't know much about their attitude to the problem but I know owners were very unhappy and I don't know of any early auto Magnas that didn't suffer the problem.

I don't think they were about to be hit, it was more of a reaction to someone doing a donut and scaring the sh.t outta them I did once hear a huge burnout being pulled at Maroochydor one night, the guy had planty of smoke happening that I could see from way up the road, of course all that smoke also hid the cop car that drove up behind him, and politely waited until he stopped and the smoke cleared before making him aware of their presence bet the people on the footpath were pissing themselves as well Kev >>>> http://www.your-website-sux.com/Nice-car-stupid-driver__UwhjUmr1k90.html >>>> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > I don't think they were about to be hit, it was more of a reaction to > someone doing a donut and scaring the sh.t outta them but scramble to safety that did, all it takes is for some amature loser to get it just slightly wrong and you could be looking at an ambulance to the scene as well as the cops. I'm sure it was just instinct rather than any real fear of being hit though :-) > I did once hear a huge burnout being pulled at Maroochydor one night, the > guy had planty of smoke happening that I could see from way up the road, > of course all that smoke also hid the cop car that drove up behind him, > and politely waited until he stopped and the smoke cleared before making > him aware of their presence A friend and I used to pull up at the lights and sit side by side looking at each other and revving the cars, then when the lights turned green we would just tootle of at a snails pace. I was with my mate as a passenger and he did it to some mulleted flano wearer in a hot HR, the HR owner didnt see the unmarked cop car pull up behind him, we did! so the lights go green this HR lights up the rears and shoots off the line meanwhile we are just casualy driving away and laughing because there is a set of blue lights almost glued to his bumper, in hot persuit :-) > bet the people on the footpath were pissing themselves as well I'm sure they did :-) > Kev SignatureGod made me an atheist.
