TRANSMISSION OUTPUT CRANKSHAFT WORE. A BRAND NEW ONE WAS INSTALLED BECAUSE NOBODY MAKES PARTS FOR THIS TRANSMISSION. THE COST OF A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS AROUND $8,000. THIS IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT IN THE COMPONENT BECAUSE EVERYONE WITH THE AWD MODEL 3000GT OR STEALTH HAS THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM STARTED IN 1991 AND YET NOBODY HAS BEEN ABLE TO GET THE MAKER TO OWN UP TO IT. ITS TIME TO MAKE THEM PAY, THESE CARS ARE NOT CHEAP TO BEGIN WITH.

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION WAS LEAKING AT THE TIME THAT I PURCHASED THIS CAR. THE DEALER WHO I HAD INSPECT THE CAR TOLD ME THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, WHICH IT EVENTUALLY WAS. HOWEVER, I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THESE TRANSMISSION FAIL ON A VERY WIDESPREAD BASIS, WHICH I WAS NOT TOLD. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE CAUGHT MY PROBLEM WITH JUST 3 MONTHS LEFT ON THE WARRANTY. NO DOUBT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE NOT BEEN SO LUCKY. THE MFG. ALSO CREATED THESE TRANSMISSIONS IN SUCH A MANNER THAT THEY CAN NOT BE REPAIRED, ONLY REPLACED. IT WOULD HAVE COST ME $6000 TO REPLACE THIS HAD I NOT NOTICED IT UNTIL 3 MORE MONTHS HAD GONE BY. THIS IS NOT RIGHT. DT
