Production of Mitsubishi ’s dual-clutch transmission — dubbed Sport-Shift Transmission, or SST for short — has been delayed. Set to debut in the all-new Lancer Evolution X, production of the SST has been reportedly delayed until sometime in the spring of 2008, due to reliability issues caused by mass production.
The SST is the first dual-clutch transmission in Mitsubishi’s history and is similar to Volkswagen ’s DSG gearbox. Until the bugs are worked out, look for the Evo X to use a conventional five-speed manual.
