On the 2018-2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, the Eclipse Cross CVT exhibits a noticeable shudder during light-to-moderate acceleration from a stop. The CVT belt slippage and inconsistent clamping force create a vibration felt through the vehicle, particularly noticeable in the first few minutes of driving.

Common Symptoms

  • Vibration during acceleration from stop
  • Shudder at low speeds
  • RPM fluctuation during steady cruise

How to Fix

Drain and refill the CVT with Mitsubishi DiaQueen CVTF-J4 fluid. A CVT recalibration at the dealer can improve the shift programming. Avoid aggressive launches from a stop to reduce CVT wear.
