Just yesterday. I noticed though that there was a bit of a rev between
jumping between 2 and
up to into 3rd gear. If it were a manual I would have sworn the clutch was
slipping. Any ideas?

Also too the car now jerks suddenly when the transmission drops from 3rd,
down and back into 2nd. There doesn't seem to be any strange noises coming
from the transmission just the jerk as it drops down.

Anyone care to take a punt as to what might be wrong here? The vehicle has
only now done just over 62,000K, I've also checked the transmission fluid,
and it looks clean (I.E. Not burnt), and is at the correct level. (Tested
when car was warmed up.)

Is it on the way out if it is its a piece of junk then.

Normal service history? If so, take it back to Mitsubishi because a 4 year
old car with that low km's should not have a failing transmission and
Mitsubishi will be obliged to replace the transmission for free or at
minimal cost to you, even if out of warranty.

No court in the land will deny you the claim.

Spot on, get rid of it before it falls to bits.
Actually you will get a terrific trade in on a new Magna 380 :-)

Check to see if the idling/engine speed falls back when it should,this could
also make cars jerk during or between gear changes. I shouldn't think it's
the transmission itself but it does need to be checked out early just incase
there is a problem that may be detected early.

Also, check to see if your cooling system thermostat is operating properly,
this could also make the engine speed eratic if the fuel system thinks that
the motor is still cold when it's at operating temp as it'll keep the auto
choking system and higher fuel mixtures on longer than it should....I have 2
Magnas, a TR V6 and TL AWD and reckon they are a great allrounder, but like
ALL things mechanical,things do go aury from time to time.

PS. You're a brave man posting questions about Mitsubishis( especially
magnas) in here mate hahaha !!

It sounds like it's flaring between changes, and that's never good. Get it
looked at immediately before it becomes a huge expense, as rebuilding such a
transmission is normally a very costly venture.

No, there's no problem at all. Flaring is normal - remember that

Yes...I remeber Noodle only being capable of understandin older autos
and being incapable of understanding that the new adaptive autos take
a half dozen changes to fully adapt from spirited driving to a trip to
bowls.

It really wasa laughable unless of course you were having him work on
your new car.......

Hopefully it has a decent service history.
Take it back to the dealer and they'll fix it under warranty.

We have 14 of these 03 magna's with the tiptronic autos, they all do the
same thing. I wouldnt be concerned. Milage is between 60k - 160k on all of
them.

They may all do it, but flaring between changes is definietly not normal in
any auto.

No its not. Flaring is the inability of the oil-pressure to apply enough
force to stop the engine-torque from overcoming band or clutch-plate
pressure. It maybe the valve-body or solenoids are contributing or, are the
problem, by lagging in operate time.

That's possible, and in fact the old HR Holden Powerglides used to flare
sometimes if you applied throttle within a small window of time coming out
of a corner,..but that's ancient technology. I would expect better today.

Any chance that Dexron has been used in it? They need a Mitsubishi
specific ATF. If Dexron has been used in it, you *might* get lucky
with a flush and replacement.
