Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart / Evo X SST Sensor Issue

In this video Brett talks you through the repair of a very common issue with the SST Transmission in Lancer Ralliart and Evo X models. In these models one of the magnets used to detect the shift fork position breaks off from its mount, resulting in a range of fault codes, as well as gears not shifting.

how much for this fix for the shift fork

[@jimshi0108]

I have a 2010 ralliart and I'm just wondering how much hp and torque the stock sst can handle?

[@BoredGeese]

What is the external filter code? And the plate cover housing(beside the flywheel)?

[@pauljohnson1693]

Hey Brett My 12 evo x mr 60 k Sst is having problems I only have one code it’s and it says it a cooling Solenoid it shifts from first to second then back to first after car is ran for a couple hrs?

[@jcmedinaceli]

Hi Brett. Do you have a workshop in Melbourne or any place in Victoria where we can get our SST repaired with your standards/technicians?

[@John-nz2du]

Is the gear shifting issue usually a loss of gear or dose the magnet cause the transmission to stutter and then shift gears. Our 2009 Ralliart will shift through all grears but pulses really bad from first to second. The dealership says we need a new valve body because they pulled a P1871 code.

[@reidbourcier]

I'm thinking of buying a ralliart, I'm aware of the common issues experienced with the transmissions that they are mated with however I'm wondering, what would you recommend to check for when testing the transmission and also how often should the transmission fluid be changed, every 30,000 Kilometers? Thank you

Our 2013 lancer gta is diagnosed as stepper motor of the valve body and acu.. but the technician is having a hard time.. our car is still signaling "transmission service required"..

[@RikashienAlanna]

We change the transmission fluid.. check all the wirings.. but they advice to buy a new valve body which is very expensive and they said its very sensitive upon removal.. so we try putting a another trasmission if it would work..

[@frankpaul3204]

Such a easy fix that Mitsubishi could’ve done

[@evodan5623]

Can the sensor magnet be kept clean by changing the SST fluid more often? Thanks for making another fine video.

[@jujitsusti7719]

Yes once a year I change my sst oil regardless of the mileage

[@robertobennett9169]

Hey ! I was wondering if after replacing this part do you have to do a transmission re teach so the trans clears itself of the shift fork error and runs through the gears properly ?

[@peterheaton4848]

It’s a little late but I ran into this issue as well. Yes you do have to reteach the sst. You can find someone with a mut2 or get a tactrix cable. Tactrix is the easier route just due to accessibility. Also a lot cheaper, just requires a lot more time and potential tweaking to get it to properly set. If you haven’t started yet, best of luck to you, just take your time and you’ll have it up and running perfectly. It’s worth being as gentle and anal as possible. Record everything, rewind your steps, and take your time and you’ll get it

[@SirBigSwingalot]

Anyone know where I can get a new replacement mechatronic unit? Mine has thrown codes and not even filings cleaning has sorted it.

[@MRTPerformanceAustralia]

be careful, it MAY NOT be a faulty mech unit

[@amandan9el]

I got my son's transmission rebuilt and the mechanic is saying it won't start after putting it all back together and adding transmission fluid, what could be the problem? The car started fine when he took it 😩

[@daranged5]

Can this magnet, or lack of, be seen by removing only the mechatronic unit? Or does the whole case need to be split as seen here?

[@aq6451]

When you remove the mechatronic you can see in with a flashlight to determine if the magnet is mounted properly

Once or twice a year to be safe

serviced correctly, they are bullet proof

[@MrShortStuff]

I have done 210,000 km and service my SST every 35,000km and shift fork still failed. Cleaned the solenoids out every service but it's just a crap design with shift fork being glued on I stead of welded. After going to 7 different shops in Sydney I only found one that fixed it up properly and he really knew alot about these cars as he owns them.

[@pf7502]

After the repair, does the car have to be driven slowly for a minimum amount of miles?

[@mmaaxxx4555]

Maybe you just really needs to let your tranny warm up before driving fast or in s/s-sport mode. I live in Canada, this last winter I let my car warms up for 5-10 mins, but tranny is not warmed up yet (I didn't knew) drive it in sports mode, 1-4th gear but then I down shift to 2nd gear, it goes straight to 1st

hi, i managed to tune this up to 365HP and 510Nm at the crank, WOT on first gear is not an option, geadbox will throw some codes then, like overboost (yes, overboost error from gearbox, don't ask me why), but they will go away after restarting car, no other issues so far, no clutch slip issues, and i'm not driving like maniac ofc ;) car is 2008 Evo X TC-SST GSR, under 65k km (or 40k miles)

Hi Ben, I have the same problem: P1875 damper Speed sensor poor peformance. Still shifting fine, appears unsteady: for 4 months no failure, on on day 2 failures....Do you know a solution how to fix this problem ?

[@bens7790]

Sorry to hear that Harald, here is what I have been told from one source: "The code could possibly be for the mechatronic but is typically for the sensor (damper speed sensor). A bad damper is common too and may not be the whole problem but part of it." Been driving it with the code about once a week just until I can get it fixed.

[@haraldmang2833]

Ben Silcox Hi Ben, thank you. how did you get the problem fixed?

[@bens7790]

still wrking on that process, some of the parts possibly associated with this code are not widely manufactured for replacement so some suggest replacing the entire gearbox but there are a few select shops that may have a way to repair it, IDK if MRT is one of them or not.

[@haraldmang2833]

Ben Silcox Ben. Will you replace damper? I know that sensor is not available as a spare part.

[@rysliv]

I had that same fork magnet fixed in mine, but now downshifting into first from second gear causes a grinding noise. Seems like synchros are being worn. If the magnet position is just a little off, do you think this can cause the synchro gears to grind?

[@Figie24]

How much was the repair ?
