They do use a sequential gearbox, but it's not DSG, afaik...

 

While watching WRC, I notice there is only one paddle shifter for the purpose of shifting up. There is no shift down paddle. I'm pretty sure that WRC transmissions shift down automatically.

 

i herd from a Mitsu dealership the guy said it was coming in manual tans and and auto with paddles

 

A manual tans down the line but for now the auto will be mitsubishi version of the volkswagan DSG gear box. If it is like the DSG, than thats the best gear box you will want. From what I understand, The DSG has dual clutchs. One clutch disengages and the other one engages the next gear at the same time, which translate to extreamly fast gear changes. Unlike automatic tans, it will be as efficiency as manuals. The only down fall is upgrading clutches will cost twice as much.

 

idk but something in my gut tells me these new trannies will prove to be a pain in the rear to people who decide to push this new evo to higher horses...

 

They do not shift down automatically.

The one single paddle shifter on WRC cars does double duty. When the driver pulls the lever it up-shifts. When he pushes the lever it downshifts. The driver will blip the throttle when pushing the lever.

The Evo X of course can be modded so the right paddle lever can mimic the WRC paddle action.

 

i got thru sum of the pages and didnt see what i wanted, maybe this has already been answered but will the X be coming in a 6-speed manual transmission like the MR?

 

So far from what's been printed it has been said a a 5 Speed Manual Tranny and an optional 6 Speed SST Automatic Tranny w/ paddle shifters will be available.

 

Seems you are talking about the all out teams, I was not.

IT ISNT SO! ack, Thats why I hurried and got a eVo IX

 

the op works at a dealership..... and we all dealers don't know ****... i didn't believe this post for more than 10 seconds!

 

oh really good, i hope your happy with your evo ix because if you decide to trade in, expect an assramming depreciation rate.
