his not from mitsubsh, he owned a garage in enfield from where my gear box broke down ( he charged me 1200 for the second hand gear box and labor). He said because of its low rev... at high speed? :?:

If there was any issue it would be with the gearbox this mechanic put in the car - sounds like a fairly long 4th gear ratio alright but its not an indication of anything wrong with the car. What is your 4th gear acceleration like?

Agreed, this guy obviously doesn't know a lot about the FTO, the V6 engine runs low RPM in the mid range under normal circumstances.
