do my eyes deceive me?

two days ago in Shoppes of Maraval, I could have sworn i saw a PCJ CY Lancer - Black sporting a variation to the standard rear spoiler. it was at least 3-4 inches higher and straight? i believe the Evo X comes with that spoiler.

can anyone confirm if this design is now optional/available from firm?

SHO, I am still yet to reach by W2J for that filter. want to get around to that sometime soon and see what difference there is.

on another note, im having a real hard time relating to this INVECS II tranny. being a stick shift guy for my entire mitsu experience, i just want to make sure this CY tranny is behaving as it should...

i tend to engage 3rd gear a bit sometimes when either driving downhill/cornering at a spirited pace and sometimes for over-taking situation when to lazy to punch the gas pedal (of course, well within rpm shift range).

i've noticed tho that in 'D' -Drive, the tranny seems to now predict my response and holds 3rd gear a tad longer than usual when im cornering or driving relatively quickly. so lets say you make a q/park savannah, make a left by queen's hall and briskly enter cascade on your right (no stopping) - if at any point i come off the gas in the transition, it holds 3rd gear for me, allowing me to still be in acceleration mode to continue driving. this doesnt happen at first startup (morning time or after work). I also find the engine's responsiveness is better for the first 5-10 mins of startup. After that, take off acceleration is a bit sluggish.

it also appears that the engine/tranny senses when you are going uphill and will not upshift to a higher gear until the car has levelled off (i guess by measuring load, etc.). This seems to be a normal feature as per Owner's Manual.

im just curious tho, any other CY owners (or Mitsu owners by ext.) have comments on this tranny type. the last tranny mitsu i drove was a CB3 1.3 carb type cable based. when a gear was holding, it meant tranny going soon!

no other issues at all with tranny - at WOT, gear shifts 1,2,3 & 4 are all seamless and well-timed. vehicle is just under 1 year old and 20K kilos on the dash!

appreciate any feedback.

Confused

(really hating trannies!)

yeah the tras does learn the way you drive and will down shift for you going down hill i once drove back from maracus and only applied the brakes 7 or 8 times the trannie is fun man... try this for the next few days when accelerating shift with the accelerator pedal... just listen to the engine and just as you would breifly come of the gas to change gear and then get back on the gas do thatthe gear will change and it will be like a whole new car......

Mitsu_Exec, i got the INVECS-III tranny and its really fun when u get accustomed

i always admire whenever i head south through the plains while keeping a constant level on acc pedal the rpms actually build and drop for itself going uphill and downhill with no human intervention.

and yes the tranny learn ur habits its been like that for awhile though Smile

fyi...if u willing or should the moment arise, try running through some water at a considerable speed (by VMCOTT), tranny would actually gear down on its own

haha

yeh, the problem was, i was actually shifting the gears from L - 3 at redline..bound to f*ck things up!

but i think SHO is saying to try it with the pedal only - leaving the tranny in 'D' all the time...Just be clear so nobody gets 'bright' and start to muck around with their rides!

boy...Marc, ah bounce meh head...going back to meh first love in Dec/Jan!
