| 1996 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | THIS IS MY 2ND TRANNY BECAUSE THE FIRST TRANNY WAS GRINDING FROM A 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. THE PROBLEM WAS THE 1-2 GEAR SYNCHRO THAT GOT WORN OUT DUE TO THE MANUFACTURER'S POOR DESIGN. UPON FAILURE AT 55MPH, THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED AND THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE LOCKED UP. THE BAY RIDE MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP ASKED ME TO REPLACE TO A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH COST ME $3000. I DID AND THE CAR RAN FINE FOR THE FIRST 15K MILES THEN THE SHIFTING BECAME NOTCHY AND THAT'S WHEN MY TRANSFER CASE GAVE UP AND I BOUGHT A NEW ONE AND INSTALLED IT MYSELF. SOMETHING OUGHT TO BE DONE ABOUT MITSUBISHI'S POOR TRANSMISSION DESIGN.*AK |
| 1995 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | THE TRANSMISSION OF THE VR4 HAS BEEN THE ACHILLES HEEL OF THE CAR. IT IS ABSURD THAT MITSUBISHI DOES NOT PROVIDE REPLACEMENT PARTS BUT INSTEAD CHOOSES TO ONLY PROVIDE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSIONS. A WAY FOR THEM TO MAKE MORE MONEY. REPLACEMENT PARTS WOULD COST A LOT LESS THAN A $4000 TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT! I AM EXTREMELY UNHAPPY WITH THEIR LACK OF ACTION IN THIS MATTER. THIER POSITION SEEMS TO BE PURELY PROFIT DRIVEN.*AK |
