Hi Folks,
Got an issue with the MN's gearbox. I have done a search but probably due to my limited skills I haven't found an answer.
I've got a 2011 MN, GLX-R with a 5 speed manual super select transmission and twin sensors. It's done around 175,000k's or so. It recently started making a fair bit of noise in neutral and second gear which went away when the clutch was depressed. I suspected a bearing was on it's way out. I can still run through all gears smoothly without effort, the noise was the only indicator.
I took it to my local mechanic who has pulled it out and found a fair amount of fine metal floating around. He is yet to pull the box apart to see the extent of the damage. To cover all bases, he has made some inquiries regarding a reconditioned box but has only been able to come up with a single sensor gearbox at this stage. His other option is to pull it down and rebuild from scratch. I've spoken to the local Mitsubishi dealer who have said it's out of warranty.
I was hoping someone might be able to point me in the direction of a supplier for an appropriate replacement gearbox if needed. I live in Batemans Bay, south coast NSW if that helps. Thanks for your time and sorry if this has already been covered.
Cheers Dave
