Auto Shifting

[EricS09RA]

Does it do it when the gear selector is moved to the left position, or just when you have it pulled straight back?

This happens to my '11 often, it's rather cold in Winnipeg. I brought this up to a friend of mine that works for Mitsu Canada. He said the tranny will automatically shift even in manual shift + sport if the engine is cold, it's suppose to be a safety thing for the sst, to me it doesn't make much sense.

And all this time I thought I had a gremlin in my tranny!

Mine does the same thing. Pretty sure its more of a safety feature for the engine and turbo then the sst. Being that your supposed to let the engine warm up before you take off so that the oil can properly cool the turbo. If you have it in manual when its cold and take off and rev to high the turbo obviously would kick in and coukd seize it due to poor lubrication. So sst is probably programed to shift on its own if engine temp is below a set temp. Makes sense to me
