Wave spring replacement KJ AWD

[Spetz]

I had mine done about 4-5 years ago, and yes it was in Canberra.

What's even funnier is that the replacement wave spring is the wave spring that the 2nd gen Magna came with.
And after a 8-9 production run it seems that these were only fixed in the final couple of years.

From my research the prevalence of this happening to the 4 and 5 speed is the same and the part that fails is the same.

Mitsubishi had a bad reputation with the auto in the TM and maybe the TN, was good in the TP. I thought transmission problems were behind them as I have had a few second gens and they were all great and I was expecting the same with the 3rd gens. I wonder why they changed from a good part to a bad part and took them so long to fix it. Ive had 2 5 speed autos now and both have had broken wave springs. Can you tell me the place in Canberra where you had your wave spring replaced? cheers
