2000 Mitsubishi Mirage Automatic Transmission has a "Learning Computer" that adjusts the shifting to the drivers habits. Your "OE" Owners Manuel will have the "Specifics" of this system.
In the event you do not have this Valuable Piece of Original Equipment, Let me give you a basic run down.
The Onboard computer keeps a "Shift" record for the first 500 miles of driving the car experiences. The computer uses the "Red Line" and 2K-4K RMP averages to know when to shift. This record adjusts the shifting pattern/level to the ORIGIONAL drivers "Habits". To reset the computer, the car must have no power applied to the electrical system for a total of 30 min. This "Automatically" resets the Automatic Transmission to Default Learning Mode.
Be Forewarned!!! Disconnecting the Power to the control box can cause "Other" well documented "Issues" with your 1999+ Mitsubishi!!! Your Radio May not work properly, Your timing may be off by 20 Degrees, Your Fuel delivery system will Malfunction if there is a Vacuum Leak or Plugged Filter, Bad Gas cap, Cracked Evaporator ect.. Your CB, HAM, Personal Communication device, Cell Phone, Remote Start System, and/or Car alarm WILL cause the computer to NOT RESET Properly if they are installed WRONG!! Again the Proper Installation of these items are listed in the OE " Owners Manuel "!
If you do not have an original " Owners Manuel " I strongly Suggest you check with your local "Junk Yards" to see if they have one on the lot they are willing to let you take a look at. They may even sell you one outright for under $5.00 US!!
These are Great ECONO-Boxes for the Original Purchasers if they are Maintained according to the OE Owner's Manual! If you are Unlucky enough to purchase one "Second Hand" and do not have the OE "Owner's Manual", You will need to find one for your year and follow it's "Advice". By doing so, you will get the 400K+ mileage out of your ORIGIONAL Motor/Tranny Like I have! Then Again it's the Wife's car.. and it only costs $450.00 US a year to maintain. This includes the replacement of things like Alternators, Water Pumps, Starters, Belts, Fluids, Tires, ECT... and this car still gets 38 MPG Highway 32 Citywith 465,000 on the OD!! It does Smoke a bit, uses a Quart of oil a month, But still passes Emissions testing!!
I guess those Kamikaze Engineers knew what they were doing when they designed the "Original" platform for this 1.8 motor!!
I have a "Japan Remanufactured" motor on order.. It will come "Burned In" with 35K miles. :)~
But for $650.00 US and 6 hours labor... It will be worth keeping this car on the road!
