My wife's montero has decided it prefers 2nd gear. The "N" indicator light flashs and the trans will not respond to manual selection of the gear shift, (unless, of course, I choose other than foward), the check engine light is also on, I haven't hade a chance to get the stored codes retrieved yet. Any suggestions? ?

Um... get the codes first.

Current mileage?

Have you changed your tranny fluid recently? If so, did you use mitsu tranny compatible fluid?

Milage is about 65000 tranny fluid was changed at about 50000, at a dealership. I'm hoping that's not an issue it seems to me to be more of an electrical thing.

I have a 2000 that does the same thing, will be going down the road and it will go in 3rd in my case. The N light will flash and the "check engine light will come on. The dealer has had it several times, but to no avail. If I stop and let it cool off it is ok for a little while, but once the check engine light is on, it has to be reset. I started a message on here myself about this several months ago. I hope someone has the answer. here is my post http://www.mitsubishiforum.com/m_69865/tm.htm

I finally broke down and agreed w/ Mrs. Roverguy, and we (she) took it to the dealer. They diagnosed a bad "fail safe switch" as the problem. Three days later, when the switch arrived, all seems well. Mrs. Roverguy is a lot happier too.
