Took it in for a diagnostic at a transmission shop. Needs a new transmission, parts alone $5500. Do i have to prove that it was the recalled item that made this happen? This is just crazy. Everything was running just fine, too. It still drives, although i've left it pretty much parked except for the trip to the tranny shop. Maybe it's time to trade it in? This is just horrible news if Mitsubishi won't repair at no cost.

Drifting away from the recall a bit, and assuming i'm stuck with the bill, what would you do? I bought it two and a half years ago with 86,000 miles, and it now has 130,000 with $4,000 left to pay off. I wouldn't sell this to a private party without telling them about the tranny, and then i'm guessing i'd get very little for it. Ideas? Maybe sell of parts? Can you do this?
