Three problems related to automatic transmission have been reported for the 1997 Mitsubishi Mirage. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While traveling on the highway without prior warning. The pulley belt came off and parts of the engine fell off. The dealership is aware of the problem.
The car is having a problem shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear. I took it to the dealership and after running tests they determined I was in need of a new transmission. The transmission was just serviced in January. I was not experiencing any other problems until all of a sudden it started shifting really hard from 2nd to 3rd. It shakes and then bangs into gear.
Transmission down shifts very violently with (vibrations).
