Need to change it so I need help from you guys for a change!!
What needs to be removed to get to it? How many and what size O'rings do I need?
Just to confirm the TX valve is the same as that on a Mitsubishi Mirage correct?

Phil posted a link for the tx valve sometime back.
The TX Valve in our cars is inside the evaporator unit box...so the evaporator unit box comes out from under the dash (some guys have managed to get it out from the glove box space), the tx valve is inside that box, take the clips out and it's there.
Also, if you are working on your AC, think you should also replace the dryer.

So it is possible to remove with the evaporator still installed? If so I'll get it.

No mention of getting new tx in Phil's thread. I'm pretty sure it's the same as a cc lancer which is the early evos and gsr.
Anyone confirm?

Yes there is...
But I didn't actually replace mine, it was in good nick and just got a clean out
PHIL069 wrote:Firstly, when you open any automotive AC system you MUST change the receiver/dryer and vacuum down the system.
Did you flush out the system to remove any contaminents and then replace oil and refrigerant?
Did you vacuum down the system to remove all moisture?
Did you atleast add moar oil for the oil lost from replacing your condensor? (Although this should not be done unless you are using the same oil that is already in system, don't mix oils)
Could your compressor have had internal damage dispersing metal into the system causing a blockage?
Your problems could be caused by a blockage as you have suggested.
and/or
Low refrigerant level can cause bubbles in sight glass and possable different temps @ input/output
and/or
Moisture in your system can also cause these symptoms, bubbles in sight glass, and it will freeze up in the TX valve causing blockage and eventually it will melt allowing correct operation. This will repeat continually.
Although......With todays synthetic AC oils the sight glass is unreliable as the oil will just milk/fog up the glass.
Symptoms are generally diagnosed with pressure gauges......
TX valve stuck open - Low pressure side = High / High pressure side = High - Sight glass clear + Low cooling in car
Blocked System - Low = Low / High = Low - Sight glass clear + Low cooling in car
Moisture in system - Low = Low / High = Low - Alternates normal/poor performance
You can attempt to strip and clean out the TX valve with brake clean and compresssed air.

Refer to this:
http://www.autoair.co.nz/site/autoair/f ... 0Guide.pdf
It states the fto uses tx1022. The lancer cc and ce use different tx valves so how can they both be listed as using the same in your link?

Because...

Mitsubishi Lancer CE
Suits systems with block valve only
See TX1023 for 90 degree brass style if this type of valve is not fitted to your CE

So you want me to rip my car to bits pull the tx out measure it up, wait few days to get the part, put txt back in, and everything else, rip everything back apart shove in new tx valve and put everything back together??
No thanks, that's why you don't get anything done!
Tx1023 is imperial. Swish auto parts said its tx1022 as well. Just someone give me 100% confirmation!!!
