Shari's 2009 Raliart

blackrosenova400 · 06-16-2012

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.

Sucky about the noise, hope its nothing serious.

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 · 06-18-2012

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.

I am really considering one of these for my next DD...not sure if I could resist the mod bug on it though.

Great pickup!

Yeah, you might want a car that runs for a DD

I have my stock evo x intercooler that would go nicely in that grill opening.

.. I wouldn't call it modding but improving stock for stock. hehe

awd-drifter · 06-19-2012

looks goood man.

blackrosenova400 · 06-19-2012

Is the X intercooler larger than the stock intercooler?

**Murlo26** · 06-19-2012

Than the Ralliart one yes.
