- A simple warn drive shaft capture pressuring ring caused the input shaft from staying in place and lead to a major long winded engine out hunt to find the offensive problem. Leading to a top overhaul, gearbox replacement. Transfer case rebuild and replacement of wear n tear longshaft donut bush mountings, e fine mounting etc. Watch the video and you will see.

I've been through lots of things including a full engine rebuild, gearbox rebuild, currently got a second transfer case I'm working on. Upgrade the rocker cover vents to an10 if possible. I deleted the PCV system and run it into a catch can that recirculates before the turbo. The only way to fix your gearbox issues properly is to laser weld the planetary gears in place which I believe is documented for the evo 7 gta gearbox which is the same. Well worth it and capable of a lot more power afterwards
Hi Bradley. Thank you so much for all your advice. You are spot on everything. I did increase oil catch can hoses on both valve covers to AN10 and installed a larger twin entry 1 outlet oil catch can. Laser welding the plentitary gears in the gearbox. Is not something I m familiar with.
I'm just about to buy one and now unsure... I expect issues due to the age and the odd wear and tear but are they really this problematic? Cheers
@@christiand3319 all cars that are this torquey are problematic as it just shears things. Great fun though
@@bradleyscales OK mate cheers. The one I'm looking at has a severeley deterioted nearside and offside front driveshaft front driveshaft joints... is this a costly fix?
@@christiand3319 I did manual convert personally and the only fix I found was replace the shafts with brand new. They setup a weird vibration if you don't
I owned airtrek since 2002 bought brand new. Luckily still going strong till this day.
Yes a few wear an tear issues. But that's it
Fantastic cars n easy to maintain. Good in you for keeping your airtrek for so long from new.
@@kevinkonguwu yeah it became rare in my area now, some ppl when they saw airtrek they will ask regarding about it. Because its look rare and awesome.
Good for you Kevin and congrats for you second Airtrek. I feel your frustration. I gone down the same path, endless hicup and and gremlins need to sort out. Got a used gearbox then realize that my transfer case thats busted. Got into shopping frenzy. Now garage full with airtrek part( 1 manual and one auto gb in case I want to ditch the AT gb, got 3 transfer case, 2 rear diff, couple of drive shaft and other small bits. Iv never bought so much stuff even for my classic celica in such a short time span. Finger cross she's stop misbehaving. Looking foward to your next video. 😀😀
I think it's just that these cars started to get cheap and the previous owners felt that the value of the car was not worth the maintenance effort and cost so they eventually get ran down to the ground. We enthusiasts are picking them up at the bottom of the barrel. It is only normal that we will have to put in extra effort to right the wrongs of the past owners.
I find these cars are actually awsome utility cars and alot more people are starting to realize that. Making these cars more sort after as they are very attainable. I felt that I need to save the car I just bought and return it to its former glory.
@@kevinkonguwu I'm going to do likewise here in my country make a collection of them am sure later people will start looking for them..... they are Legendary Cars
Hey Kevin,
Congratulations 🎉👏 for another additional of another Airtrek Turbo R wow All the Best Kevin I see it's twin exhaust exit
Thank you my friend. Yes it is a custom made twin exit tail pipe rear box. Previous owner must have spent some money on this among other things
@@kevinkonguwu looks hot 🔥 with that custom twin exhaust system
@@adrenalineautotweeks6934 stay tuned. Resuraction of this car coming soon
@@kevinkonguwu waiting here patiently
keep up the good work bro! ehhehehehe! airtrek no issues then no content. heheheheh!
Always!
Have the same problems low reverse wave spring keeps braking
I bought an Airtrek about a month ago after commenting on your previous vid. Facelifted the car to 05 model, replaced leaked coilover suspension with original KYB suspension, replaced exhaust with ralliart exhaust system and currently in the process of painting the car. Next I am planning to do top engine overhaul, replace all oil rings (gearbox and transfer case) and replace old wirings to bring it back to it's glory (and I want it to be reliable as it will be my daily drive). How much have you spent on the above? Can you recommend the workshop? I am literally going through your every step except for the GTA TD05 upgrade.
Aprox rm4500 to 5000 parts n labor included
@@kevinkonguwu Opted to get a low mileage halfcut than overhauling the engine as the cost is almost similar. The objective is to get it back to stock as the current engine and other components are in shambles. Probably will do some light modifications in the future to maintain the reliability of a daily driven car. Very tempted to upgrade the turbo to GTA TD05 however am worried that it will laggy. Looking at your previous dyno tune result, it seems that there is not much lag as compared to stock TD04 turbo as the max torque is achieved right before the 3000rpm mark. Care to share your experience between the GTA TD05 and stock TD04?
@@mienie0221 I think the lag is approx 600 to 700rpm difference. Maybe even only 500rpm difference. Not much difference in responsiveness between the Td04 vs the gta td05. The big power gains felt at higher rpms makes the gta tdo5 more satisfying to drive. The Td04 runs out of puff at about 5500rpm wherelse the td05 pulls to 6800rpm. Hope this helps. I enjoy both the td04 n td05. Ask friend on what you want. On hindsight I think tf04 is more then enough for a daily.
hi, kereta ni reliable for 2022 tak? maintenance okay? looking one but survey² dulu 😂
Yes reliable for 2022
Hi.. i have problem with my Airtrek. After 13 years using it. First i change my transfer gear sbb minyak gear box leaking dan dia rosak.Lepas tu ada issue gear tiba2 bertukar sendiri jadi gear 3 dan lampu N berkelip2.. cuba masuk gear lain tak boleh.sampai sekarang tak ok lagi.kadang kereta tak boleh start. Off dan On switch beberapa kali baru ok balik. Ada pernah jadi tak issue mcm ni? Thanks 😊
Sorry boss. Dalam pengalaman Saya mengguna airtrek. Tak parnah Saya mengalami masalah seperti boss la.
Boss boleh try perhi workshop ini. Retrostreet auto garage. Cuba boss Waze ke sana
Hey My fellow Airtrek owners please when you take your Airtrek to a garage for service the transfer case Oil should always be checked and it's very tricky for mechanics whereby they may assume that the transfer case uses Atf fluid of which not it uses gear oil type SAE EP 85-90 gear oil same as the differential Oil
Yes we have also found that rear lsd oil also works well with the transfer case. Never use atf oil in transfer cases. Thank you for the heads up.
How can the transmission be strengthened
@@khalidwallace1198 I m a it sure. But from what I have read. Alot of people are welding something within the gearbox. I m not sure what it is or how it's done.
My dad had a brand new turbo r back in 2004 or so. Easily one of the fastest cars we've had back then
They are very punchy in stock form. Love the no lag feel of the stock turbo.
Comment trouver l'électricité du Mitsubishi jusqu'au noeuds injecteurs
Hi kevin,may i ask what type of atf fluid u using? Thanks in advance
Mitsubishi Diaqueen atf oil bro
So sorry to ask you this, but how much was the damage (all in)?
About rm 7k
I too replaced my transfer case last Month but mine it was neglected by the previous owner didnt put transfer box Oil SAE EP85-90 oil . so it used to whine like a bitch when driving. so i think thats the weakness of 4G63T series.
Hi where do you fix your gearbox misubishi turbo air trek? Any recommendations?
I have never had the gearbox fixed. I have it replaced with a used unit out of a halfcut.
@@kevinkonguwu yeah I guess I’m using the wrong word. Should be replace. Where do you recommend to replace a unit?
@@htpy9844 you can look for ah wah in puchong. He is the airtrek specialist. 0122963909
would you say the car is reliable? looking at one tommorow and hapyp but stressed at the same time :/
Yes they are tough cars. Buy one that has been well maintained. Very reliable and quite robust. Very up to daily driver duty. All the best on your purchase.
Kelvin, transfer gear pakai minyak apa yg bagus ye..
Rear axle guna minyak apa plak..
Transfercase I guna minyak lsd belakang 75w90.
hey bro can I know where is your shop I wish to repair my airtrek
Ara damansara boss.
Hi Kevin my airtrek turbo overheats and I keep on losing power.
If you have checked the obvious radiator and fan culprits, the next thing to look into is if you have had a blow head gasket. Check to see if your engine oil has water mixed into it. It will look like muddy oily stuff in your engine.
Hi can you let me know the detail of the air trek halfcut shop
Dasuki aka suki please call him at +60 12-649 4160
Hai kevin, kos maintanance airtrek ni tinggi tak dan tahan lasak tak??
Airtrek sangat tahan lasak. Kos Dia semakin tinggi. Kerana Kos barang semakin meningkat. Airtrek kena beli yang sudah restore. Kerana Dia sudah kereta lama. Milage semua tinggi Dan barang sudah sampai masa Nak tukar. So kalau beli murah kena la ready belanja buat maintainance.
where is the workshop?
Ara damansara
what subframe you use bro?evo?
Yes boss. Entire front subframe is off and Evo 7/8/9. They are all exactly the same and are plug n play.
Kevin I baru nak ambik Airtrek ni hahhaa recommended tak kereta ni....
Yes highly reconmend. Kalau u nak Saya Ada jual Antara Satu airtrek Saya.
