Hi,

if any of you have read my previous post then you know that I think my auto gearbox is faulty.

I would just like to know why Mitsubishi built the L300 so it would not engage fourth gear (overdrive) when cold. IMO it just damages the engine revving at high RPM's.

Is there any way to bypass this so overdrive will engage when the engine is cold?

I just wondering if anyone has a workshop manual for a 1990 L300 Express Van
Diesel

Hi,

I was searching the site, but didn't find any information, so I thought I'd bring up the question here.

Has anyone done an HID install on the Deli's? If so, was there enough room for the ballast or did you add an extension?

Also, because I'm still waiting for my Deli's timing belt to be replaced, was wondering if anyone knew what the...

I Have a 94 Starwagon SH 2.4L, I have recently been having troubles with the alternator in specific belts the last 3 months it has broken 2 belts and stretched 1.

Hey guys heres my van, still wanna get it polished an lowered but have a look!

I have a 1991 L300 2lt manual van, which has lately decided to stall without warning. Sometimes I will feel it start to flounder, & if I ease of the throttle just a fraction, it starts to pull again. Other times it just stops & seems like it has a gut full of fuel. It has New coil, plugs, plug leads, air & fuel filter, vacuum hoses, Complete new carbi kit. The timing is spot on,...

Hi guys,

I'm not sure if the transmission on my van is on the way out but I think I have a problem.

I know when the engine is cold the overdrive function does not work, for the life of me I don't know why, but the engine revs at 4000 RPM at 60 KMH until it gets warm. Now to me that is damaging the engine.

The other symptom is that as it gets warm the...

Can someone help me with the fuse box diagram for Mitsubishi delica 1987. MY Delica has no fuse box cover

Hey all,

My van is pretty damn uneconomical.. and I'm trying to figure out if its meant to be as bad as it is. I doubt it a bit.. It seems im averaging around 230-260kms a tank around the city. Seems waaaayy worse than it should be.

What do you guys get on a tank, both city and open road?

Cheers,

Unfortunately, my Father has recently passed away and he owned a 1984 L300, which has done 68,000 miles. It is in excellent condition. I am trying to find somewhere where I can get a current market price and then I guess, sell it, when I have probate. Not sure if anyone on this forum can point me in the right direction as have done a search on internet and not seen many examples (well, none...

I have a 86 L300 and i have a bit of a issue. Every now and then i just cant get into gear. Most of the time i can change gear no problems. But sometimes i stop the van and when i start again and try and engage first ( or any gear) it will not go into gear.. With the engine off its fine. I start and restart the engine 5 or 6 times and it comes fine.. Drive around for a week or so and then it...

Hello everyone,

I'm interested in what Engines (example: 2.0L unleaded, 4G63) and what transmission options (example: Front wheel drive five speed automatic, F5A42) were available on the L300, L400, Delica, Exceed & Starwagon. I'm just doing some research and I'm hoping this helps me find some answers. Thanks for your time.

Hi,

I have a 1997 Mitsubishi Express MWB 2.4 EFI with a 4 speed auto.
After having the crank gear replaced on the engine the car will no longer go into overdrive.

It was working perfectly before the crank gear rotated off the key (long story) so I am assuming that a sensor was not put back on or something is not properly adjusted since the repair. I can't take it...
