I’ve heard from two mitsu. employees that email have been sent saying no X MR.
I guess the problem is that they can’t get their DSG-like transmission to last.
this is a little speculative at this point, but interesting to hear.
good, but we’ll see what happens on evom… ill check it out later
wait. dsm transmissions have problems? say it ain’t so!
and best of all. mitsu realized this now and decided not to produce the car? Did they miss a memo or something…
^ NO DSG-like transmissions have problems
LOL my 1g tranny was one of the main reasons I sold my tsi
yeah, what’s up with a 15 year old part made for 200HP not working with 500HP… screw mitsu.
right, glad were on the same page
exactly, you can put through 500+ ftlb of torque through a 50 year old GM tranny…
QFT, thank you.
I read this one evom also somewhere, specualtion as of now I guess. I wouldnt want the tranny anyways. Just sell the MR with a six speed.

just found:
Mitsu should of just bought a DSG trans from VW.
Borg-Warner makes DSG and VW has an exclusive contract on it.
I didnt know that. But Im sure a deal could have been made for the technology. Ugh why the hell didnt they just offer a manual 6spd?
you can put 1200ftlbs through a GM 4L80E with a 100$ shift kit. lol
hopefully the DSG will hold up. you know this car is going to be put through its paces given the strength of the previous iterations.
