Well, noticed a few people asking for these, so I went and ordered a few. Brand new genuine Mitsubishi suit tiptronic.

Upper Hose: $31
Lower Hose: $37

Currently have 3 upper hoses and 2 lower hoses. Easy enough to order more if these run out.

Hey Dwayne

Not sure what has happened, but seems Mitsu has stuffed up...

The part number is correct, but the item is incorrect.

See attached.
The 2 hoses side by side are my current which fits (bottom), and your new one on (above).

The new ones seems to be for a manual, as it was identical to Azas (blue hose comparison),
This hose will not fit a tip at all.

Would have just pm'd you, but pm dont seem to like attachments.

EDIT: Seems the part number is wrong, caps is telling me MR160297, however you sent 298.

I need to replace mine Astron, was looking at shelling out for a set of samco's but if youve got the manual set and have an auto, ill take those manual ones off your hands for what you bought them for?

Well, it'd be that cost and the extra postage to you as they are 100% brand new, be cheaper from Dwaynes (no double postage cost), unless you want to take it from me at the bonfire...

Either way it'll be going back to Dwayne or an FTO owner with a manual, for same cost, or if send now cost plus extra postage.

Let me know.

If dwaynes are all manual then I'll stock up on a set

So was it my mistake or Mitsubishis?. Either way, ill refund you. I can probably do something with the hid unit to compensate.

Hey Dwayne, not sure.
The item you sent was MR160298, which by CAPS is being reported as 5spd Manual hose.

MR160297 is marked as 4/5spd Tip.

So, if you ordered tip hoses, you were sent manual ones.
If you ordered by part number, then just been an accidental order on yor part, or you sent me a manual one by accident.

Are all the ones you bought recently 298s?

Edit: I can just return the manual hose to you at the bonfire, no biggie, the hose we have should be ok for the trip (if we take the FTO) That way no money is lost by either of us.
