Cryptic80 - I too switched to Red Line and mine also leaked. That is why I am currently rebuilding mine. YOu don't have to rebuild yours. Just replace the seals. Not just the axles seals, but the case seals too. To replace the axle seals you just have to remove the TC and CVs to access the seals. To replace the case seals requires the transaxle to be removed. If you or anyone else are interested do a search for Update on 6-speed dissasembly. It is a post I started a while back and I have listed all you should need to know. I also encourage others to post their experiences to make this as painless and cheap as possible. I am going to go add some more of my experiences after I post this.

Matt -- HB Cali - Calm down man. Mistu uses the last 8 digits to tell if your car is a VR-4, SL, or base, model. As well as where it was assembled, what items are equiped on it, and as a general ID for service history. NHTSA can't make Mitsu or Dodge start a recall. All they do is report their findings on a subject. It is up to Mistu/Dodge to issue a recall. Dealers usually don't issue a recall for a fluid leak regaurdless of the possible outcomes. I have never even heard of one. I saw a technical service bulliten on power steering pump noise but that was it. Plus the number of cars with this TC are relitively small compaired to the number of other types of vehicles. Which means the chance of getting sued is lower. So they will be bastards and take their chances. Because someone is going to have to die, have relitives/lawyers who think this is a possible cause of death, and then take them to court AND win. I know it's wrong but it's out of our hands. I would encourage all of you to replace the seals yourselves and be done with it.
