It seems my Mitsubishi min truck has lost 2nd gear. I was driving around on the weekend, did some mudding, pressured washed it down and it seems I lost second gear after that. It will only go from 1st to 3rd. I also believe I only have a 3 speed transmission, I have only had three gears since owning it. Has anyone ever experienced this before? The truck is a 1992 Mitsubishi MiniCab U42T 3G83
So it looks like 2nd still exists kind of. I was checking the wiring by the transmission. If I disconnect the wire in the picture, then the transmission will go from 1st to second, but not third. If I reconnect it, I get 1st to 3rd. It must be a wiring issue, it happened right after pressure washing it after a little off roading. I am at a bit of a loss. I checked my grounding, the transmission is grounded. I did notice the white wire coming off the transmission is grounded out when not connected. That does not seem right to me but I know nothing about transmission. Anyone got any ideas
That's a tough one, I have no experience with this but based on your testing it sounds electrical for sure and nothing mechanical within the transmission has failed. I have the van body so my setup is different but I did find some delicate thin old wires around the topside of the transmission. Something must have gotten wet/ wiggled / broken when you where wheelin' and washin
