Filing in context
The Automatic transmission is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 6 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 150 Mitsubishi notifications from 2004 in this archive. For scale, 3,316 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 4 years and 3 months.
Defect
On certain automatic transmissions, the rubber oil seal that maintains hydraulic pressure in the 4th-gear clutch has insufficient strength margin. Continued operation can cause the seal to crack, reducing hydraulic pressure and causing the clutch to slip. As a result, the vehicle may fail to accelerate even when the accelerator pedal is depressed. (Note: This filing adds vehicles that were omitted from the recall filed on April 12, 1994, under notification number 433.)
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the end clutch assembly with a corrected part.
