I understand with the Diamond care warranty plan they cover rental cars but I only have the regular warranty and I am the original owner.
    If you could tell me the cost and if you had the pre 04/01/14 cvt model, that would be a great help friend.

    Where the passenger side axle fits into the transmission, he's saying there was too much play or looseness. There really shouldn't be much, as with continued use it will get worse and worse until eventually the transmission can't turn that shaft. Sounds like his was loose enough to be causing vibrations. With both front wheels off the ground, you could check your own as he described. Note: the output shaft bearing is a different bearing than the one Fummins thinks is the CVT killer. I don't think we've heard this particular complaint on here before. Hope that helps.

    Thank you man. Im just worried because I just started Ubering on the side, and really need the side gig $ for my family. I need this car to be able to handle ride sharing badly.

    Im embarassed to admit, Im one of those types of folks that has a car but cant truly afford to. If something catastrophic happened to it. Hence my constant hand wringing about the CVT. At first reading about how reliable this CVT is with this lil car I started to feel better about it. Then this poor guy with 2 failed trannys @ 45k. Im back to not sleeping.

    He said 2nd mitsubishi with no loaner car, not 2nd transmission problem. Deep breath, buddy.

    If you search the forum for "Uber" you will find several members on here that have used it for Ubering for years.

    Just remember when you are in reverse to press brake and let the car come to a full stop before you change to D and move forward.

    You can downshift into "B" whenever you want. I've downshifted into "B" at 70mph. It revved up to around 5000rpm's.
