Lancer Five Forward Gear Patten ?

[mensoft]

Hi All ,

I brought a old lancer flight light model (Year 1979). as for the previous owner said its a five forward gear box . but the gear shift patten is different than the normal other vehicle i have drive before . in this car rivers gear is in the second gear. and the 1st gear in the 3rd gear place. when i start drive first time i was bit confuse of the gear patten . and now I'm little use for that . but the problem is still i cant find the where the Fifth gear and the correct gear patten . because the gear liver have just Mitsubishi logo and it not Merck the gear patten .

if some one can tel me the correct gear patten and the some more detail abut this car it will be really help full for me .

Thanks

logically it should be like this and just check whether it's towards 3rd position with a push.

A relative of mine had a Hyundai Stellar which had a similar gear pattern, and the gearbox was a 4 speed. Reverse was engaged in the same way too. If it's a 4 speed that's the pattern you'll have to stick to. The gear lever centers on 1st and 2nd, as opposed to 3rd and 4th on a regular 5 speed.

That's the same gearbox and both stellar and Lancer "Box model" are on the same platform. I've used a Lancer A172 AKA Tube Light model and that too had this gear pattern. Never came across a 5 speed variant although I've heard those are there.

thats the issue i also have . I'm fine with all 4 gears . but i tried the 5th position in normal gear patten but it seems there is no such a gear in that. can it be a something wrong in the gear box or is it a 4 forward ? I think it is a Lancer A72 as i search on the web . its comes with the round head light . looks like smiler to this pic . but not a wagon

Is the man who sold this to you now dead??

What he is asking you is - why cant you ask the previous owner? Tell him to demonstrate how the 5th gear works.

AFAIK - this is a 4 forward car.

The lancer box - has a 5 speed - but it doesn't have the above combination of gears. It has the normal 1-5 & [extreme right -->down] reverse.

HI, i'm unable to comment on the current availabilities of parts for this car - as we owned a Lancer box sometime ago.

But since this model & the box are still popular - i'm sure parts wont be a problem.

Also it should have an A/C.

FYI - the lancer box we had was a 13 sri & it was a "reconditioned" vehicle. Nowadays you don't get reconditioned vehicles - only 'as-it-is' vehicles. [now the reconditioning - i.e.- painting damaged areas/body work/small or big dents done in hurry to display asap in showrooms ]

The 'reconditioned' lancer box- was a 4 forward with fog lamps & new grill & with alloys.

However there was a 5 forward lancer - which was 11 sri. This didn't have the alloys or the fog lamps etc.. These vehicle had been brought down as 'brand new'.

Do you have a 4G12 engine on it ? If so would you help me out with the last mention problem in this thread ?

And by the way what is the fuel consumption of your car ?
