POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:COLUMN SHIFT
THE TRANSAXLE WAS NOT DESIGNED PROPERLY IT CAN LOCK UP AND IN MY OPION WAS NOT MADE STRONG ENOUGH FOR OUR CARS. ONE OTHER VERY IMPORTANT COMPLAINT IS THAT IF ANY PART OF THE TRANSAXLE GOES BAD EVEN A 10 DOLLAR SYNCHRONIZER RING YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TRANNY ! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE OF THIS INJUSTICE AND UNSAFE TRANSAXLE PRODUCED BY MISTUBISHI.*A

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
MY MANUAL TRANSMISSION HAS A PROBLEM, THE CAR IS STILL DRIVABLE, BUT EVERY TIME I PUSH MY CLUTCH, MY SHIFTER MOVES UP AND DOWN, FORWARD, OR BACKWARD AND SOMETIMES GOES OUT OF THE GEAR. I THOUGHT THAT IT COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH ONE OF MY MOUNTS GOING BAD, BUT A MECHANIC CHECKED THEM AND SAID THEY WERE OK. THEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE FAILURES OF TRANSMISSIONS BY OTHER CARS JUST LIKE MINE, SO IT'S PROBABLY A MANUFACTURER'S MISTAKE BECAUSE THERE ARE THE SO CALLED GETRAG 5 SPEED TRANSMISSIONS INSIDE MY CAR AND THEY ARE THE ONE'S SUPPOSEDLY TO GO BAD EASILY. A REPLACEMENT WOULD COST ME A LOT OF MONEY WHICH I CAN'T COME UP WITH THAT EASY. NOW THE WORST IS, I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER I'M GOING TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR, BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT AIN'T GOING TO BE LONGER THAN 2-3 MONTHS AND THEN MY TRANSMISSION WILL DIE COMPLETELY. *JB ***DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS****742572

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
ALTHOUGH NO MAJOR COMPONENTS HAVE FAILED, THE SYNCHROS HAVE BEEN A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM WITH 3000GTS AND STEAL.THS AND TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOT SERVICABLE. MY 2ND AND 3RD SYNCHROS ARE VERY WORN AND ARE FAILING. I AM PREPARED FOR THE WORST TO COME AND WOULD BE GRATEFUL OF A RECALL BEFORE THE TRANNY IS COMPLETE TRASH AND THERE IS A WRECK. OTHERS IN A CLOSE NETWORK OF 3000GT/STEALTH OWNERS HAVE UNFORTUNATELY BEEN IN WRECKS AND SPENT $1000S BECAUSE OF FAULTY PARTS FROM MITSUBISHI WHICH THEY HAVE DENIED RESPONSIBILITY FOR. THIS NEEDS TO STOP! THANKS -JOSH. *AK
