Mitsubishi Transmissions Model# FG25N-LP

Our company has been experiencing a lot of transmission failures on our Mitsubishi forklifts. We are only 2+ years into our agreement. Is this an industry wide issue or is it just our trucks? We had Yales prior to this for 10+ years and I don't recall as many problems. How are Mitsubishis compared to other models? Look forward to feedback from different users.

Thank you.

what sort of failures? are they transmission, differential or inching linkage related? are your trucks all 2 years old or are there some older units too? what type of operation are you using them in. Mitsubishi traditionally had a "stiff" engagement through the controls, and have had some linkage and cable concerns over the years, but nothing that a well trained and concerned tech should not have been able to take care of as part of routine and scheduled maintenance. MCFA also had a warranty period that is longer for "power-train" (transmission, diff, engine block) that should have covered most of your problems up to that 2 year point, I thought.
