Complaint Description: in june of 1998 i began experiencing the clutch intermittently sticking (sometimes to the ground and i would have to manually pull the clutch up while driving) at speeds of anywhere from 5 to 65 miles an hour. after numerous attempts to fix my car in a period of four months the dealer i have been having my car serviced at (todey mitsubihi in ventura, ca) has finally diagnosed the problem as a faulty engine, apparently the engine is actually shifting and this was causing my clutch problems. i am aware that todey mitsubishi has seen at least one other vehicle with this same engine flaw (shifting) manifesting itself in a fluid leak. .
