Replying to: beaujest (Feb 05, 2008 8:27 pm) Beau - assuming we're talking about an 02 Gallant, the answer is yep.   How I approached the situation was: slide the passenger seat all the way back, lean the back of seat all the way back, slid my little stool up against car door jam where I could lean across passenger seat and went to town.   You'll need: regular flat screwdriver, stubby Phillips screwdriver, 10mm socket on 1/4in drive ratchet with 8in extension, a little bitty screwdriver for unplugging those confounded wire plugs, and a drop-light.   Don't forget to disconnect the ground lug to battery before you mess with air-bag.   As an interim till I could get the new part, I took the old motor drive off and manually opened the little valve to get the heat back on.   Good luck and happy motoring.

Replying to: beaujest (Feb 05, 2008 8:27 pm) Jonathan!!! Thanks again. It is an 02 galant and I'm going to tackle it soon. Does the dash piece have to come off all around the radio? I'm not sure a chiltons is going to help and since you've already been through it... I've got some of the kick panels out of the way and the glove box is out, I guess I'm being overly cautious because I'm not sure when they are going to opt for screws and when they will use some kind of a fastener that is supposed to pop out with the right amount of pressure. If you could do everything from the passenger door, I might be making a mountain out of a mole hill here.. Any more wisdom that you could impart would be appreciated. Thanks again!

Replying to: beaujest (Feb 09, 2008 2:39 pm) Beau - the plastic trim piece around the radio/heater control panel pops off. You don't really need a manual for this one. It's fairly straight forward. If you need a little extra insurance use your phone camera and take a few pics as you disassemble to help with reassemble. - John

Replying to: sisco40 (Apr 12, 2008 9:03 am) If you mean there's a dash light that's green outlining a key, that's the security system. It should light for a few seconds when you arm the system with the button on the key fob. If that light isn't going out, the alarm probably hasn't been turned off.   If you don't have the fob, try unlocking the car doors with the key before starting the engine. In my '99 that does turn off the alarm.
#2346 of 2438 Possible Transmission Issue.... Any Ideas? by stormchaser81 Apr 22, 2008 (8:24 am)
I'm a recent owner of a 2001 Galant and what I've noticed lately has me concerned and so I'm in search of answers. Just a little history about the car I bought the car about a year ago March 07' when it had 89,000 miles on it, it is now April 08' and it has 103,500 miles on it. The previous owner had not hinted of any possible transmission issues but as of late I've noticed in the past few months a particular slipping happening between the first and second gears when applying the gas pedal. When I take my foot off the pedal and let it idle down then immediately reapply when its transitioning into 2nd it slips with a minor jolt its less likely to happen when I apply the gas slowly. However today while driving on a local highway I set the accelerator at 70mph where it slipped again when it never had in the past at higher speeds. I don't believe the car has had its transmission fluid replaced so I'm assuming thats something I should pursue in hopes that it will solve the problem rather then outright replacing transmission. To anyone who could provide feedback I would gratefully appreciate it! Replies to this message: sky23213 (May 11, 2008 11:34 am)

Replying to: stormchaser81 (Apr 22, 2008 8:24 am) Sorry if this is too late, just did not see your question earlier. I have a 2001 Galant ES with 135K. At around 90K I had the routine ATF replaced at a local shop. Quite later, at around 99K at about 70 MpH the transmission slipped out of gear and the "Check Engine" light came on. Took it to a dealer, and according to them the reason was a substandard transmission fluid. Replaced the fluid and haven't had any issues ever since. What I've read is that Mitsu transmissions are quite picky regarding the fluid and only the particular brand specified must be used. The word was that most of the shops use a generic fluid and add stuff to bring it to specs, but not sure how true that is, though is sounds logical. So, I agree with you - go to a dealer and have them flush the tranny. It's quite possible that would do it, and probably the transmission was not harmed. Good luck!
