Used Mitsubishi parts: CVT, engine, body
A CVT for the Outlander: buy or repair?
A CVT is one of the costliest units people look for on the Outlander XL and similar models. Before you buy a used one, make sure the fault is really in the gearbox and not in the electronics or the cooling. A diagnosis costs less than a wrong purchase. If a mechanic has confirmed that the CVT must be replaced, go ahead and search.
In the request give the model, year, engine size and VIN. For a CVT the gearbox code has to match yours.
What to ask the seller
Ask whether the gearbox came from a car that was running, and what mileage the donor had. Were there vibrations, jerks or error codes? What does the oil look like? Is the cooling radiator included, and was it flushed? A good breaker does not hide this and adds photos or a video. Agree on a warranty for testing, and on who pays for return shipping if the gearbox turns out not to work.
For the Outlander XL the drive also matters: front-wheel or all-wheel. The rear differential and even the mounts depend on it, so write it in the request, especially if you are looking for more than one part.
CVTs do not like overheating, so the oil is usually changed and the cooling radiator cleaned along with the unit. A strong point for an offer is a confirmed service history of the donor or a video of it running. Ask about the fitting cost in advance as well, because it depends on the workshop.
