Hello, I have a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer ES with the CVT transmission. Recently the transmission seems to be making a whirring noise and feels like it wants to down shift when accelerating, possibly slipping a little. I have to check service records but I am not sure if the transmission fluid has been changed. Is this something we should try first? I read on another forum that someone had this similar issue and changed the fluid and the transmission did not work right after. Apparently there was a build up in the original transmission fluid that was actually protecting it and when they changed the fluid it lost this. Does that sound reasonable? Obviously we want to correct this before it becomes a full blown need to replace a transmission problem. We bought this car new in 2008 and have not ever had any other issues. thank you.
