Disadvantages of the Mitsubishi V4AW2 gearbox
- This is a very reliable and durable automatic transmission, and most of its problems are due to old age.
- The main thing is to regularly renew the lubricant in the automatic transmission and ensure that there are no strong leaks.
- And also prevent the transmission from overheating, which will cause all the rubber parts to become tanned.
- Electrically, the most common concern here is the speed sensors or selector position sensors.
- Also, the control cable in the gearbox often breaks, and replacing it is labor-intensive.
