Mated to the 2.4 turbo diesel engine from the latest Triton, the Pajero Sport’s all-new 8-speed automatic transmission is the first of its kind fitted to a Mitsubishi vehicle and has been specially developed for Pajero Sport.
The new 8-speed transmission’s wide gear range and close gear ratios help Pajero Sport achieve responsive acceleration and low fuel consumption.
It has neutral idle to reduce transmission drag therefore improving fuel efficiency when the vehicle is stationary and in gear.
The transmission is water cooled and air cooled for greater efficiency and has an increased ratio spread of 28 per cent at the lower end to improve acceleration performance and launch feel. A further 8 per cent ratio spread is at the top end where, at higher speeds, the transmission operates at lower engine speeds for further gains in fuel economy and quietness.
It features a sophisticated adaptive control system which has the following features:
Uphill control: A unique shift map will select the best gears for maximum vehicle progression when driving uphill
Downhill control: Lower gears are selected to support deceleration via engine braking
Accelerator pedal release control: Upshifting is temporarily prevented when the accelerator pedal is rapidly released to provide engine braking and assist acceleration performance once the pedal is re-applied
Rapid kick-down control: Rapid accelerator applications will prompt transmission downshifting to assist acceleration performance
Gear Ratios:
First: 4.845
Second: 2.840
Third: 1.863
Fourth: 1.436
Fifth: 1.216
Sixth: 1.000
Seventh: 0.815
Eigth: 0.672
Reverse: 3.825
Final Drive: 3.692
High performance automatic transmission fluid is used, virtually eliminating the need for replacement under normal vehicle usage.
Under severe conditions, the maintenance interval has been extended to 100,000km.
