Mitsubishi Asp Model - Vibrating, Light Ac Even The Ac Is Off, Noise When Changing The Gear

[Iroshw]

Hi all,

I have few issues and need your feedback to solve them.

I have a Mitsubishi ASP (C62A year 1991). I did an Oil change (replaced the oil filter too) and also replaced Air filter and plugs too. Did a tuning few months ago also put AC gas 5 months ago.

1. When the car is idle there is a huge vibrate. But it is on/off basis. When I on the AC it gets doubled. But can't hear this vibration (noise) when the car is running.

2. Even the AC is off there is a light AC from AC vents. I have repaired my AC few months ago. Also the AC is very low cold during the day time.

3. When the car is switched off I can change gears normally. But when the car is running I'm getting a noise (bit tight) when changing from 4th to 3rd, 3rd to 2nd and from 2nd to 1st. But it is not happening when changing from 3rd to 4th and 4th to 5th also from 5th to 4th. One guys asked me to adjust the Clutch.

Guys, I'm planning to go to Nuwara Eliya on this Saturday. So just let me know whether I'm taking a risk? What are these issues and solutions?

I'm living in Hokandara and need a fast solution.

Regards,

Irosh

The vibration is due to bad motor mounts. The gear issue is most probably the clutch.

Vibration could be engine mounts, could be a miss in the engine. The gear issue the clutch as JD suggested, could be an issue with the hydraulic clutch pump (if you have one) or a warped pressure plate or gears.

IS this a carburator type or EFI cant remember on ASP model. anw i guess your engine is not stick on the correct idle level & may be a miss in efi or carburator or plugs etc. also check your AC IDLE up unit whether it's kick on after switch on the ac.check the engine mounts as JD net state.

2. Even the AC is off there is a light AC from AC vents. I have repaired my AC few months ago. Also the AC is very low cold during the day time.

may be you have a Gas leak. did you check all the lines & things related to a\c when refilling gas ?

try to adjust your clutch first & see.

Hi All,

Latest update.

My car is at Asnu Lanka Garage (Koswatta) now. There is a great person for Carb engines. He is now cleaning it and also I asked him to tune the engine well. As per them Gear problem is not a big issue right now but they will try to adjust the Clutch. As said Vibration issue is due to Mounts. They asked me to replace them but do not have time right now since we are planning to go to Nuwara Eliya Tomorrow.

Also had to replace the Brake pads (front) and Pomp (had to purchase one from Panchikawatte). I should make sure my brakes are good when driving through hills .

And, Mr. Perera (from Asnu Lanka) said not to use any Fuel Addictive after cleaning the engine. I'm not sure about it since I also need to clean my fuel tank and all the lines connected to the engine (thought to use BG44K or Wurth). Any idea about what he said?

Thanks guys for your support.

BTW, do you know any place to buy AC Vents for my car?
