Some of the transmission problems reported with the 2003 MitsubishiMontero are hard shifting in 1st or 2nd gear, shuddering when accelerating, and defective wave/cushion spring in transmission. A burning smell when the vehicle is on, the gears slipping when You shift, the shifter becoming stuck or non-responsive, and leaking fluids have also been reported by many owners. The most common replacement was for a faulty torque converter. A bad torque converter can damage a transmission. Bad torque convertors can lead to damage, overheating, friction, and transmission fluid degradation. If these problems continue, it can cause even more damage to the transmission.
