FTO AUSTRALIA

Got the mivec 4speed triptronic auto, every now and then at midrange revs, if I change up I get a 2-3 second delay before it changes, and when it does it is with a jolt.
Is this a common problem, just one of those things or do I have a problem, if so any idea.

Change fluid if problem still persits consult a doctor

MMMmmm, Fluid and filter done so looks like the doc's. dosen't sound cheep.

well this happens with my mums sv6 (such a bucket!) when going from 1st to second when giving it. If I want to change at around 5000 rpm it wont actually do it until around 7000 rpm

never driven a tip FTO so i dont know what its like, sry

if you want a gearbox i got a 4spd for sale mate it is like brand new. going cheap haha send us a pm

Its not that critical, !YET!

From experience, I would say that the tips have a little bit of a delay in their standard form. I now own a manual as a result of this (I previously have has 2 tiptronic FTO's and both exhibited this behaviour). It annoyed me enough to warrant the purchase of a manual. Must say im much happer with the manual box.

Good at least someone else as had this problem and yes I would not mined a manual gearbox. Manuals R so much better

mines a tippy and its less than a second to change gears

The light on the cluster will change later than the gear actually changes though, but im not fused about the light anyway

.... It will only jolt if i change from 2nd to 1st at arround 10km/hr.... And i never do that anyway

Yes, mine does take less than a second 98% of the time, Im not doing anything out of the ordinary when it has one of these long delays.

Check see if you got any error codes from the tip ECU:

Mine has the same problem. So what i do is i shift a little bit before the revs get to what i want, so that way i am still shifting when i want. Its just like a 1 second delay in shift. No biggie.

Just seems more than a second when you want that b@#@#$d to change . Its as though the engine spools up for the change

I really dont have that problem at all

check your error codes

im too noob i dont even know how to drive in tiptronic mode

what i find that the jolt happens if u let the revs drop while doing the change. never had it delay for 2-3 secs though either

i guess (im no genuis) but keep in mind its not going to react the same as a manual, the same as when u go to idle itll drop to 1st gear for u....

hope my post is relevant

The gear changes should be faster than a manual.

Anymore than a second delay and would be looking at why

I also get a delay with my tip (94 4spd) and a clunk when it changes from 2nd-1st sometimes but then again my car is one sick puppy but it seems to handle driving 100km per day for work without any problem so who the hell knows whats going on

no offence but thats like saying my car shudders when i take off in 3rd but anyways..check your error codes but i can almost guarantee input sensor on the gearbox cause ive just been through exactly the same process, i think i paid about 100 give or take 20 from mitsubishi in nepean motor group but ring lander toyota better chances on that end.

I drive a tip but the delay only happens when cold, once it's warmed up the change is less then a second.

I never change from 2nd to 1st, there's no need because it changes from 3rd to 1st automatically when you brake then stop.
