Complaint Description: 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 .
