I have been an owner of my MITSUBISHI PAJERO SPORT (K90) 3.0 V6 (K96W) 2003 170Hk since 2008

I messed up last week when I was driving and accidentally shifted the gear from L straight to R. the reverse didnt kick in and i quickly pulled the lever to D when i saw my mistake. The car was running okej for a few days though.

Now this morning when trying to run the car dont kick into any gear. Going from P to D it sounds like it is making an effort, revving a little bit but not engaging the gear. Sometimes I can get gear 2 in and also Reverse in. it then drives for a few seconds and jumps out into idle again and stops working.

Would i have to change the gearbox or anyone have any advice would be welcome...!

Have you done some basic checks like transmission oil level and condition, leaks, and so on?

Yes, there is no leak. I changed the oil around 7 years ago and filled it up to right level. It is still the same level as it was then and have been working these years..

i have been towing the caravan often lately, can that have had an impact on the transmission?

Hi, sorry I checked more closely now and it seems like there is a leak somewhere. The level is lower than before and there are some fluid on the engine floor..

Anyone have any advice what part is most likely to have started leaking..?

Usually the steel pipes from the transmission to the oil cooler.

They run from the gearbox to the front steel pipes and have a short rubber pipe connection, the front pipes are awkward and run across the front crossmember and exit on the front nearside and have short rubber connections to the cooler.
