I have a 1998 Mitsubishi galant es and i just had my transmission rebuilt. When i tried driving, i would only have reverse and either 1st or 2nd gear and wouldnt shift. i just put in a new valve body and still doesnt shift. It is electronically shifted, what couldnt keep it from shifting?

Don't know if you ever got this fixed, but my guess is it's a bad throttle position sensor.

2002 Mitsubishi Galant oil in overflow reservoir but no signs of coolant in crankcase any ideas would be appreciated

If automatic transmission, it may be transmission fluid. Lots of cars have the transmission cooler in the radiator.

Where is the safety neutral switch on a 2009 mitsubishi galant located?

If the vehicle is a front wheel drive, the switch can be seen on top of the transmission, under the shift rod. It will have a multi electrical connector attached to it. If the vehicle is a rear wheel drive, the switch will be on the driver's side on the transmission under the shift lever. It is easy to see and quite obvious. Good-Day!

Your transmission is shot.It will have to be rebuilt.Or a different trans put into it. Not a cheap repair.$3000 end up. Thats what happens for buying a over price toy guy.

I have a 1998 mitsubishi galant es and need a tranny.

The best way is to make sure you give the correct information IE: yr, make, engine size, and VIN. That will ensure the correct trans. As far as knowing if it is a good trans, the best advise I can give is to make sure it is a reputable parts dealer, and make sure it is a low mileage trans (if used), make sure they offer a warranty, and have them or yourself pull the pan to inspect it for metal shavings.

Transmission

dose the car have a o/d button

if so it sounds like the end clutch has died in the auto and you will need to go to a auto specialist.

check you auto oil level first and go from there

Transmission error code P1750

Might be really simple - but EXPENSIVE! I had a similar fault - apparently the first planet set breaks up. Cure - a new box. Price - crippling!

Don't be tempted to skimp on the box. Get a rebuild from a reputable supplier. A s/h box will set you back around £5-600 in UK where a rebuilt (guaranteed) will be more like £1800. The thing with the cheap box is it costs about the same to fit but you don't know how good it is till it's too late! Then you're still shopping for another but you're £600 lighter!

Also, you could be buying other faults. If the speed sensor has had a problem - the box will change badly (snatching) and that will be another £250 where the expensive box will have ahad one fitted!
