Shari's 2009 Raliart

[blackrosenova400]

My wife(Shari) and I just currently purchased a 2009 Ralliart with a 6 speed automatic. Seems to be some rattling coming from the transmission. Sounds kind of like the common throwout bearing noise you hear on a 1g dsm.

Anybody have any knowledge of this transmission? Does it have a clutch or torque converter? Does this transmission have a normal planetary gear setup like an automatic or helical gears like a manual?


Will post pics soon!

It's technically a manual, though its called an "automated manual." So despite the fact that it drives exactly like an automatic, it does have a twin disc clutch, and uses helical gears. I'm not super familiar with the SST. But if you're looking to take it to a shop, we have mechanic who's a Mitsu genuine.

Is it a knock? I know my friends Mr does this.

Thank you for that post, that is the exact noise and that page describes exactly when it occurs. It sounds like it isnt an issue

I think it sounds likes a pretty sweet transmission from the information I have gathered. Im just glad it isnt a 6 speed hydraulic automatic as it would be a nightmare of a transmission stuffed into the car.

Shari loves the car, especially since her previous car was a Kia Rio.
The car is quite fun off of the line for having 237hp.

It's basically a baby Evo. It's time you do some research into the SST!

Congrats on the car! What color and you need some pics!

[blackrosenova400]

Ok I will get pics tonight hopefully. Its grey.

I have read up on the transmission, works similar to an eaton autoshift except more sophisticated.
