I have not read all the post but mitsu's policy is to replace the transmission
with a rebuilt one.
That is what they did with my 98 three years ago. THey are trying to get out of it. my new tranny with 7000 miles on it was replaced with a rebuilt which broke in 2 years and I did not race on it or abuse it.
anyways when I went to get the tranny repaired under warranty they refused. I had to go to a lawyer to get things resolved.
If you have any other questions about the tranny email me at
