So i was driving and noticed my transmission stutters pretty bad from a stop and today i got a CEL p181c - clutch 1 pressure high range out ... has anyone got this is there a fix or is my tranny on its way out this code has popped up a few times this last month
I did a quick search on the net and found that you need to get this checked out with the MUT 3 machine they have at the dealership or a good mitsu indie shop. it might just be a INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTIONS. Are you still under warranty?
I had this issue without the CEL. Bought the car, drove 400 miles and it started surging on take off (like lugging the sh*t out of a manual). Took it to mitsu, they hooked up a computer for like 5 minutes and said tranny was out
...the clutch slipped for me in either the normal automatic version, in SST NORMAL and in SST SPORT mode...
..informed dealers service center..
..they contacted the MITSUBISHI tech center in Toronto..
..they advised that at first the fluids should be changed and if that eliminated the slip I would have to pay for it...
..they changed the fluids and alas...nothing changed..same old slip...
..next thing was that they checked the car by way of computer for any mods or hidden mods...if there were any the whole warranty deal was off...
..the car was repaired with the new double clutch under warranty...
...final analysis...every time the car comes back from dealer service or work another thing goes bad...
...this will have been my last Mitsubishi...
had 8 in the past with absolutely zero problems...from 2 Sho-guns to 2 v8 pick up trucks - 2 Outlanders and 2 EVO's..
..next car will be a 2014 Alfa Romeo
