Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Transmission syncros from 1-2 and 3-4 and reverse started grinding on shift, got worse, transmission started leaking. was barely shiftable so aftermarket warranty company replaced, replacement tranny was "notchy" and slowly over 4 months has gotten almost as bad as the first. we've spent almost $5500 on new parts/labor to try to fix this. also original tranny's 'output shaft' was missing teeth. current output shaft giving similar "teeth skipping" symptoms under hard accelleration. mitsubishi/getrag does not support fixing the tranny, we must buy an entire new tranny to fix the synchros which are very small portions of the otherwise fairly strong tranny. no support from mitsu, when we go to the dealers they say "oh, another bad tranny" and expect to see them all the time. somethng needs to be done!
