F1C1, F1C1A, INVECS-III CVT
-
Mitsubishi F1C1 – a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) developed on the basis of technology from the Japanese manufacturer JATCO, used in Mitsubishi vehicles from approximately 2000. It is intended for vehicles with transversely mounted petrol engines and front-wheel drive (FWD). The transmission belongs to the Mitsubishi INVECS-III CVT system and was fitted to various variants of the Colt, Colt Plus, Lancer, Lancer Cedia and other models.
The F1C1 design uses a hydrodynamic torque converter with a lock-up clutch, two variable-diameter pulleys and a steel push belt, ensuring smooth changes of the transmission ratio. Forward and reverse selection is handled by multi-plate clutch and brake mechanisms, while an electronically controlled hydraulic system regulates pulley position, belt clamping pressure and transmission operation according to driving conditions. Mitsubishi INVECS-III control adapts transmission operation to driving conditions and driver inputs.
The design of F1C1A variants may differ depending on the engine and vehicle model. For example, Mitsubishi factory documentation specifies different final drive ratios and numbers of clutch plates for the F1C1A-1 and F1C1A-2 versions. In certain versions, the operating ratio range of the F1C1A transmission is 2.319–0.445, and the reverse ratio is 2.588.

- Mitsubishi Lancer: ninth generation (CS, approx. 2000–2010 and later in some markets), 1.5 l 4G15, 1.6 l 4G18 and certain 1.8 l 4G93 petrol CVT versions.
- Mitsubishi Lancer Cedia: CS2A / CS5A / CS5W family (from 2000, Japanese market), certain 1.5 l and 1.8 l petrol CVT versions.
- Mitsubishi Lancer Cargo: CS2V (approx. 2003–2008), certain 1.5 l 4G15 petrol CVT versions.
- Mitsubishi Dion: CR family (2000–2005), certain 2.0 l petrol front-wheel-drive CVT versions.
Important: The F1C1 transmission group includes different variants whose hydraulic control units, solenoids, pulleys, steel belts, clutch packs, torque converters, filters and final drive components may not be interchangeable. F1C1 / F1C1A must not automatically be equated with JF012E, JF011E, F1CJA, F1CJB, F1CJC or other similarly designated CVT transmissions. Transmission maintenance requires the fluid specified by the manufacturer for the specific variant. Before ordering spare parts, the vehicle's VIN, exact transmission code, variant and original OE number must be checked.
