Complaint Description: the transmission is made by a german company called "getrag". they only will sell a complete new unit and will not sell replacement parts. the parts are weak from the start with many known failures of these transmissions, and also their weak output shafts. the syncronizers are the most common thing to go with my 2nd and 3rd gear being replaced with used ones twice with no success. these transmissions are garbage and without individual replacement parts being available buying a whole new unit for $5,000 is not a very good solution. i've never seen such a monopoly such as the one getrag and mitsubishi have formed together. *ak .
