Yeah...that's a HUGE problem. Something isn't right with this car. Nobody would do a color change on a 4 year old Mirage. It's super expensive to do it right...especially in black. That doesn't...
I went to bed early last night with a headache. So I work up early, with enough time to stop by Chik-Fil-A before work. As I was sitting inside, a white Mirage pulled up. After eating, I started...
Great review. His summary is pretty much spot on until the end when he claims this is not for a car enthusiast. While I get what he's saying, I have to disagree. This Mirage *is* for car...
Say what you want about his initial review, but as I've said before, he put that car on the map for me. I never would have paid attention to another Mirage (after my '97 anyway) if it weren't for...
Wow I can't believe it. I looked at this message and looked up linders and what do you know it's located in worcester and I just happened to be in worcester,ma. I guess it was meant to be. Here now...
Yeah, 2014-2022 for sure. They list a different part number for early 2014 but I installed a 2017 cvt in my 2014 Mirage that has a 2013 production date. I couldn't find an early one so took a gamble....
I'm pretty close to the "path to totality", so I witnessed quite a bit of the eclipse. This is the photo I took with the eclipse glasses in front of my camera lens. The sun looks like a crescent:

Stupid eclipse. During totality the eclipse glasses blocked the show so I took them off. I got to enjoy a total eclipse for 3 minutes & 44 seconds. Right at the end I put the glasses back on -...
Pulled pan and both magnets were full and was like a clay colored layer on bottom of pan. No big chunks. Fluid was really dark though. Went through sequence flow chart from that Mitsubishi manuel...
We had a total eclipse here in Oregon in 2017. Lots of talk about 100's of thousands of people clogging highways for days, food shortages, fuel shortages etc....
Post what codes you come up with and do a search on the forum. There's a free service manual for a 2015 Mirage here. Most things are similar except wiring pinouts. The cvt's are the same.
Update!
Went to Mitsubishi dealership and got 9 quarts of genuine j4 cvt fluid(18.50 a quart!!!!!). Drained that idenmitsu n3 fluid and filled with 2.5 quarts of j4. Ran through each gear holding...
I've never used factory fluid. Only cheap universal.
If a cvt code is tripped the gear selector on the cluster blinks. I can't remember the sequence, it blinks fast for overheating and slow for...
I'd pull the pan. If it looks alright it might just need a valve body. I had one act up and quit moving altogether. I was gonna replace the entire unit but tried a valve body as a last resort cause...
