I stopped by at an old friends shop on the weekend. They had an 09 lancer that their mechanic just replaced the cvt in. It's acting like it's starting out in 4th from a stop. I looked and made sure all the sensors were plugged in as it looked like a child did the install judging by the way the wiring was run. Then I checked the fluid. Their idiot mechanic put aft in it. It said right on the dipstick handle it requires J1 cvt fluid lol. They argued that that's what their parts supplier told them to use. They're cheap *******s so they'll probably just pull the drain plug and fill it up with the proper fluid rather than fill and drain a few times. If I hear anymore about that one I'll post back here. Could have been a case of they installed a faulty cvt then filled it with wrong fluid or they installed a good one and screwed it with the wrong fluid. Either way I can't believe they do installs.
