Complaint Description: i bought my 3000gt from a close friend of mine.his driving habits were very good.around 51,000 miles i went to shift into 3 rd gear and heard this awful grinding noise.i took it to a dealer and yhey told me my transmission was shot .they said "the transmissions in the 3000gt on most cars hold out to about 45,000 so you got your moneys worth" now, don't get me wrong but this is no way to treat a buying customer.there's a petition going on on the internet about these getrag trannies and last i heard there were quite a few names on it.my friend payed 38,000 for the car in 92'. i got it for a steal because we both knew of the condition of these trannies.i'm not griping because i have to pay for it,i'm griping for the long,long,long list of owners of these fine cars whose only wish is to have some justice done for them.this many people can't be wrong.granted, there were probably a few that did mistreat them, but what about all of us little people out here that drive ours like sensible human beings...........i was lucky that my transmission didn't lock up like iv'e heard some driver's do.but i think mitsubishi needs to come forward and fix these problems.i used to think mitsubishi and the getrag company's were some of the finest around but now i'm having my doughts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!thanks for your time,and please consider my plea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!help give us little people out there some feeling that someone in the higher power is looking out for us!!!!!!!!!!!!thank you for your time. *ak .
