Originally posted by ROD I was under the impression that it is the synchros in our transmissions that are the most common problem with our cars. So if they recall the transfer case, that will only take care of the leaky TCs and reduce the risk of a lock up at highway speed. Unless they fix our trannies too, will they have solved our problem? I'm kinda confused as to what the transfer case involves and what the transmission involves.
The transfer case is a safety issue, the syncros aren't.

So they won't even touch our trannies? I'm still assuming that most people's problems are the weak syncros.I've read over and over about this problem but have heard very little about the tc until now. Fixing the leak in the TC won't fix the tranny problem so we're back at square 1 if you ask me. I might as well start saving up to buy a rebuilt one from Kormex cuz it's my tranny, not my tc that's leaking and going bad. So much for getting my hopes up that Mitsu was going to fix my tranny problem. There goes $2000 . Oh well....anyone interested in a '94 VR-4 with a bad tranny? lol
OK, i dont know if this has been anwsered or what.....i have a 1991 VR-4, and my transmission has 110,000(aoorox) on it and my transmission just went.....its at the transmission shop right now, and if the 91 was already recalled, what do i do? I DO NOT by any means have the money to get a new transmission, and this month, my car payment, and insurence payment are due.....
"OK, i dont know or care if this has been anwsered "
Good, then you dont care if I dont answer you.

Sorry, i was just a little mad after reading all that, and owning a 91 whos tranny is blown, and im in a hell of a bind here, and there is no mention of 91's getting fixed....
the 91's are not included due to being 10yrs old and already having a recall on it.....and the Trannines are not the subject it is the Transfer Case, if that locks up then your in for a scary ride....the grinding synchros is just a part of diving one of the Top Super cars. I have noticed when I changed the fluid in mine it usually keeps it from grinding when I shift for a while and I have done it 2 times in the year that I have had the car...

I can attest to the locked up transfer case four wheel shimmy mod being hellified. Been there done that, over a 25' embankment upside down. That is why I don't have a stealth anymore, but it paid for my VR4.
