I would love some more info on the GTS SHIFTER... how is that plug and play?... is that the part where I shift on my steering wheel or am I completely lost here? thanks bro

 

both gts paddle shifters and the floor shifter are compatible with the de and es. the floor shifter is pretty easy, you just take out the old shifter and connect the 2 steel cables and 1 wire to the gts shifter and you'll have sport mode. http://9glancers.com/index.php/topic,11803.120.html on the first page of the thread in the link there is a how to if you can't find a gts shifter. it requires cutting out the slot on the shifter needed for the +/- shift range, that and some complicated wiring and you'll have sport mode using the stock de/es shifter.
for paddle shifters the hard part is taking the steering wheel off, after that its plug and play. (im looking for the link that has the how to for the paddles, bear with me)

 

Si I'll be using my DE Tranny?... If so that rocks!... And what are the advantages really?... I am interested in the paddles on the steering wheel hehe I will anxiously be waiting on your posts! Thanks a lot man! I appreciate it!!!

 

yup, you can have sport mode with your de cvt tranny. in theory you can also have just paddle shifters because gts's can enter sport mode while in D. i found the how to but its an australian site and they may require you to sign in to see the pics. the how to also includes a parts list, you're going to need a new steering column cover to accommodate for the paddles sticking out of it.

Thanks man! Just took a look at it... that means I could only install the paddle shifter and not the other part in the shift knob where +/- go right?... where can I get another cover for my wheel since the paddle shifter wont fit correctly on the original wheel?...

 

I said in theory. the de/es guys in Australia have the floor shifter with the +/- range standard on their lancers. no one has tried just paddle shifters yet. so im talking from research.
8065A039XA this is the part number that was in the parts list. it's for the lower cover for the column. go to mitsubishparts.net click on oem parts> then part look up> where it says "search by part number" put in the part# and select mitsubishi for make.

 

Wow that site has incredible prices! I will ensure that my car has the plug for the paddle shifter... the guy who posted the instructions told me that I dont need the +/- floor shifter... that I just need to be sure that my car is equipped with that plug... I will check it out!

 

Alright thats good hear. now that you have a second opinion it's even better. keep us posted.

 

I can confirm that you can enter sport mode with the paddles, however I could have sworn last time I did this while the shifter was still in D it kicked me out of sport mode after about 10 seconds and went back to just D. I think the shifter also needs to be in the +/-, but I could be wrong. I'll test it out and confirm on my drive to work today.

 

Just as I suspected. If your shifter is in D and you turn on sport mode with the paddles, it will revert back to D every time you come to a stop. This means you would have to tap the paddle every time before you hit the gas after stopping for whatever reason. If you tap them while already accelerating in D you gears jump all retarded obviously.

Personally this would drive me crazy so I don't recommend only installing paddles. If you think you can deal with constantly switching back and forth then go for it I guess.

 

who's the guy from puerto rico who tuned your car ? Ruben Rosario ? I bought Him the maps tuned from my car ! and it works EXCELLENT !

 

He is one of the guys who flashed my car bro! We got excellent pros in PR!

 

nice set up, and numbers.

be sure to add an extra transmission cooler to help keep those cvt fluids cool. too hot = snapped belt.

any aftermarket transmission cooler should work.
