While this may be too specific, have any of you noticed in Mitsu transmissions that they are a bit "notchy"? I spoke with Joey and he said that was something he noticed but i just wanted to get a wider survey. I notice that, especially going into third, it's a bit notchy. I don't grind gears or anything it's just not as smooth as say 3-4 or 4-5. Could this just be from the way the previous driver drove it?
Mine does the same thing. They just aren't very smooth transmissions. However, they are still infinitely better than the garbage they put in the DSMs.

You'll be hard pressed to get any low end torque out of a turbo 4cyl. Solution = Anti-Lag :thumbup: I think the 4B11 bumped up overall torque by 10 ft lbs. So I would assume, low end torque on the 4B compared to the 4G is negligable. But the turbo spools faster then the one on your 4G.
I realize a turbo 2.0 is never going to have much torque out of boost, but I was just asking how it feels in the new chassis since it has a lot of extra weight. Even on mine, it can't take much of an incline before you have to be in boost to maintain speed.
