The electrical connector "o" rings leak on the 722.6 transmissions and there is an updated "o" ring. If you remove the connector by sliding the lock upwards there is a 7mm. bolt holding the housing onto the vavle body plate located in the center of the pin connector on trans. Remove that 7mm. and pull housing out of trans. there are 2 "o" rings on the pin connecter and one on the harness connector. M.B. sells the 2 for the pin connector and the harness connector comes with the hole connector but you have to remove all the pins out of the old one. The harness connector is not the problem just replace the 2 on the transmission pin connector. Make sure you add M.B. electrohydraulic trans. fluid to the transmission. You will have to purchase a dipstick from the dealer because there is onlya housing tube. The trans has a red color lock and the oil a black color lock. They are right next to each other so be careful not to confuse the 2. I have seen them leak bad enough to fill the trans computer full of oil- The E.T.C. module is located in the r.f. foot well in the false floor under carpet. I do not know what circuit board you are refering to. I'm assuming it is the valvebody solonoid plate. After repair I would recommend having the car scanned and cleared for codes assuming the module is not full of a.t.f.. You may be able to clear the codes by disconnecting battery neg. for at least an hour to drain capacitors but it is always best to have car scanned. Good luck

There is not much that can be done from the outside for this fault as it appears that there is a serious damage on the gear box, it can be related to a faulty linkage, counter gear, counter wheel or damaged parts. It might require that the box be opened , checked and overhauled without delay so as to cause further expensive damage. Take estimate and decide.

Check the o-ring on the 13 pin connector between the TCM and the transmission. If it has oil on it, it will need to be replaced. Also clear any transmission error codes with an OBD II scanner. Make sure the transmission is NOT OVER FILLED. If the problem persists, see your local trans shop.

I have a 2005 mitsubishi outlander. up until three days ago, it was running fine. i went out to start it one morning and it will not start. it cranks, but will not "fire". i checked the fuses...

I drive a Mits Outlander 2005 4WD Auto-transmission (see image).
This morning, I put it in D-Drive but it didnt move.
R-Reverse moves but after a chug sound.

Called a mech over the phone, he says something about a "fibre" in the tranny that need to be replaced.

Thinking back, I changed the timing-belt when it snapped last Wednesday.

Then last Saturday, while filling the AC gas, another mech checked and noticed that the front shafts had damaged plastic covers that were replaced. But ATF fluid dripped from the tranny thru the removed shafts.

While topping the ATF, this fluid spilled on some wire harness and wire-sockets on the tranny next to the dip-stick opening.

This morning, when the D-Drive failed to move the car, I noticed an extra dull glow of the green light on N-Neutral on the dash-board indicator when the stick is in the D-Drive position.
No Check-Engine light came up.

Can this spilled ATF on these cable cause the tranny to fail like this?

What can I do to correct it?

Many thanks.

Tony.

Bring vehicle to a transmission shop ASAP. If the spilling oil is automatic transmission fluid (ATF) ( usually pink but Honda has been known to use regular oils in transmissions )your leaking ATF and its affecting the subject gears.

I can not locate my car gear fluid

If the vehicle is an automatic, the oil check/ filler plug is on the bottom of the gearbox sump. To check oil level jack vehicle up, keeping it level. Start vehicle from cold and remove 17mm allen key plug on bottom of sump. Oil should just start spilling from aperture at an oil temperature of 30 degrees Celsius. If not top up fluid until it does start spilling. Temperature important as oil expands as it heats up.

Cant shift out of park

There is usually a button behind the brake pedal which does two things.

A. it actuates your brake light

B. It also unlocks the the gear selector

Sometimes they simply need an adjustment usually a 13mm lock nut and advance the switch in small incriments.
