SST may overheat in traffic jams or slow downhill drives

Twin clutch is disconnected in D when you either step on the brakes or the accelerator at low speed
Twin clutch is SEMI SLIPPED when you're not stepping on brakes (to simulate automatic creep) or accelerator
Prolonged semi slipped TCSST in traffic jams will cause overheat of the gearbox, requiring you to stop one side and shutdown the engine ..

Mitsubishi suggests to go neutral in such circumstances or step on either accelerator or brakes and don't allow creep. They will not be fixing this issue..

This is extracted from the Japanese forums ..

Sticky this if you like MODs .. coz I'm sure alot of guys will be crying foul when you get the MRs on the roads ..

I don't think Mitsubishi can fix this issue, since it is the nature of the gear box, thanks for the info. I will be sure to be put it in neutral when I stop...

Haven't heard anything yet from anyone ..

I have a long tru trans cooler .. but am putting off installing it as I do not know how the drop in line pressure will affect the SST ..

It seems like it is potentially a problem in slow speed traffic with little or no air flow to the stock transmission cooler. I think a thermostaticly controled fan on the trans cooler would be a better option than upgrading the cooler itself.
