POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:COOLING UNIT AND LINES
MY TRANMISSON IS LEAKING AND GRINDING. SINCE MITS. DON'T MAKE ANY PART FOR THE TRANMSSION, I WAS ASKED TO BUY A BRAND NEW TRANMISSON. ALSO MY TRANSFER CASE IS MAKING THIS STRANGE NOISE AND PEOPLE TOLD ME THEIR TRANSFER CASE LOCKED UP ON THEM WHILE THE CAR WAS DRIVING. *AK

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD THE CAR, IT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT 61,268 MILES. SINCE THEN I BOUGHT THE CAR USED AT ABOUT 72K MILES, AND AGAIN THE TRANSMITION IS FAILING. IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE SYNCROS ON THE TRANSMITION TO GO BAD , CAUSING GRINDING WHEN SHIFTING INTO SECOND GEAR. MITSUBISHI (OR ANYONE ELSE) OFFERS NO REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THIS TRANSMITION. THEY CONSIDER IT ONE PART, THE WHOLE GETRAG TRANSMISSION IS A $5000 REPLACEMENT PART. I CALLED MITSUBISHI AND THEY SAID THE 61,268 MILE REPLACEMENT WAS WARRANTIED FOR ONLY 12 MONTHS OR 12K MILES. I FEEL IT IS VERY WRONG THAT THEY PUT A TRANSMITION IN THE CAR THAT ONLY LAST ABOUT 15,000 MILES. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ALL MITSUBISHI MANUAL TRANSMITIONS DUE TO EXCESSIVE FAILURE RATES. *AK
