Disadvantages of the Mitsubishi V5AWF gearbox
- Mitsubishi installed an updated version of the gearbox and the breakdowns of the first years did not affect it.
- The gearbox is reliable, problems begin with wear of the torque converter clutch.
- Dirty lubricant corrodes the valve body and solenoids, vibrations break the oil pump.
- During prolonged slipping, the rear row of the planetary mechanism often suffers.
- On automatic transmissions with high mileage, it is often necessary to replace the solenoid wiring.
