When you start the car it makes a load noise until fully heated, and the transmission is pulling and making noise, it gets stuck in gear and will not move to next gear, just stalls and then kicks in. First it was just skipping gears for the last five days so I checked the fluid it only could use not even a half of court, I had no warning light at all until the sixth night when it got stuck in gear and steering to change.

Transmission had trouble shifting for a few days. At certain speeds the transmission would all of a sudden act like it was in neutral and then pop back into gear. One day, while attempting to take off from a stop light, the transmission would not go into gear. After replacing that one, we are starting to experience the same type of problems. Especially early in the morning when you first attempt to take off the car will not move. Even after letting it warm up for 10-15 minutes the same thing happens. Sometimes it will do the same thing when you take off from a stop sign into traffic. We just pray that when we get into the middle of the road it will pop back into gear. I hate this car and I am having trouble getting rid of it. Evidentally everyone is aware of the transmission problem--except Mitsubishi.
