2010 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS, 166,xxx miles - I went to go to work this morning, and out of nowhere I got a CEL for 'Transmission Pressure Low', and the car started shifting oddly - I pulled over, and checked the CVT fluid, which was right in between C and H, and thought it was just the car having a little hiccup - I started driving again, and the car was shifting fine for a few minutes, but once I had to stop, and tried to go again, the car would not move - The RPMs very slowly climbed up, and the car finally started moving again, but acted like it was trying to drive through syrup. Is there a fluid pressure switch that can be easily checked/replaced without having to take the whole transmission apart? I am assuming it is a pressure sensor that failed, since the fluid level is fine. Thanks in advance!

 

Anybody?

 

You ever get this figured out? I'm sure you already googled it yourself but from what I found it sounded like these things would be a good place to start/check on:

• Fixing leaks in the transmission system
• Transmission temperature sensor
• Transmission high pressure pump

 

I ended up having the valve body replaced, but lost the lip seal when I put it back together, so right now I only have reverse and first gear, and I can't find the lip seal anywhere online (Even the Mitsubishi dealer can't find a part number for it), so until I find either a seal, or a way to rig it, my car is dead in the water

 

Does this maybe help?

 

That's the same number I got from the manual - It doesn't correspond to any Mitsubishi part on any searches, unfortunately
