    CVT Replacement under warranty

    Hi
    Thought I would share my CVT experience.

    My 2013 Mirage had done around 92K. After long trips (more than an hour) I noticed the gear indicator flashing (transmission fluid overheating) A few times it returned an error code. As it was due for a CVT service around 95K I thought that it would be degraded fluid.

    After consulting with the dealer (who have also serviced the car) Mitsubishi NZ replaced the transmission at no cost (Mitsubishi have a full running gear warranty up to 130K or 10 years in NZ)

    A few weeks later the transmission leaked so the dealer sent a truck to transport the car and fixed a faulty connection.

    Over the time I never noticed any change in performance of the transmission.

    Jid - thanks for that info.

    This is the first we've heard of any CVT replacements in a Mirage.

    Additional question: can you say what service was done to it prior to replacement? (fluid replacement schedule)

    Just regular servicing. The CVT fluid was due to be done just before the 100K mark. The only thing done before was software - update and reset I would imagine.
