Dear all persona user .i am a 2 month b-line auto user .just something want to confirm ..our auto gearbox is made by mitsubishi or aichi?and one special feature come by our gearbox ..the engine connect to the axle bypassing the fluid drive .which mean bypass the thotle converter?.just like the manual 5th gear in the manual gearbox

the below is a article cutting from the motortrader website about the persona gearbox feature.just wonder since when persona got this feature and nobody know.and this funtion apply during the running at 4th gear in the auto or what?

The lock-up feature which is common to all modern automatic transmissions, has also been improved. Basically, what this does is to create a mechanical connection to the axle, bypassing the fluid drive of the transmission itself. This creates something similar to that of a manual transmission and therefore reduces power losses, ultimately improving fuel economy. The improvements are said to be in the selection of speeds at which the lock-up takes place automatically.

For the 5-speed manual transmission, there are no changes. It doesn’t have a TCU so nothing can be done in programming (although one engineer joked that the ‘human TCU’ can always be reprogrammed!). It would have been nice if the engineers had more choices of gear ratios to use but the options available from Mitsubishi Motors are very limited.
