any one know if this thing will fit a US Lancer

Good question and the answer is maybe. If it's mated to the 4G93G (Going to use G to denote a GDI engine) then there's a possibility. Standard 4G93's in Mirages are mated to the same transmission as the Lancer. If the 4G93G is remotely similar...then just maybe.

 

OK who wants to be the guinea pig? I would, but I don't have the kind of money it takes to get a new transmission

 

Where can I go online to ask about this? Anyone know if Mitsu actually made this or offer it?

 

here is the link for it

don't know for the 5AT, but in Australia, the lancer 2.0L VRX has a 4AT with "shift-tronic", check this link and especially this §
this tranny should fit the US lancer, ask an Australian guy or Mitsiman maybe

 

Interesting that they call the OZ a VR-X in Australia and the interior looks different and it comes with a shiftronic......

 

Buy the auto tranny ecu (don't know if the pin connections are the same) . . . if so, the next Q, will the US spec ecu will able to communicate effectively to the JDM tranny ecu . . .

Manual tranny does not have an ecu , just slushboxes.

 

that 5 speed is actually the same one used in the australian magna (diamante). the indonesian lancer actually has a 6 speed INVECS III CVT with sports mode. too bad australia doesn't get this version.

 

VR-X is diff to oz, diff wheels/suspension/interior/bodykit/black grille (ours is better :P ) I've got a few pics of the VR-X in my profile.

Its available in manual and the sports mode auto. I drove the auto, I didnt like it at all, im a clutch kinda guy. (i shift 1-2-5 5-3-2 normally)

Mite be ok for lazy people who just want something to be able to instantly up/downshift (Which it does do, its not like an normal auto) but i'd go the manual if you enjoy actually driving your car.

Its certainly a strong unit though, the magna is a 160kw v6 and i believe its the same box.

If you can get it to fit, and you like the ease of an auto i'd recommend it over a normal auto.

 

the 3G eclipse has similar auto sportronic tranny, I dont know if it is the same, dealer install should be straightforward. I doubt if they will give any warranty except for the mandatory 30 day labor and 1 year for the tranny?

 

The INVECS-II Sport Mode come in the us Outlander.

 

would this tranny be able to handle more torque, as in being aplied with an aftermarket turbo setup?
