I am having problems with the transmission. Im sure that the car starts out in drive and stays in Drive. It never shifts gears. It lacks power on takeoff and when you shift from drive to 2,. the rpms never increase indicating that you are in second. Over drive does not work either . If you depress the footpettal all the way, i would hope that you would jump into passing gear. Nothing happens. I have checked all the wiring and connenctors and all are in normal. (you have to remove the air cleaner box to get to the connectoins. You cannot plug the connectors in wrong on a 94. . I have read about a TCU box. Where is it? I suspect that is bad.

Only 3rd gear and reverse will work. That means your TCU is giving error codes. You need a OBD scanner or multi-meter to read the error codes. Its complicated to do it with a mult-meter, you'll need to buy a Mitsubishi RVR Service Manual for instructions.

I can't find a service manual for the rvr , only a driver's manual . If you know where I can get one , please let me know. Mart
