Transfer Case Officially Recalled - Page 60 - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

Has anyone had a similar situation to mine, and if so how'd you handle it?

I had mine checked under recall last summer. They inspected it and said it was fine. Last week it locked up on the highway, not only was the outer housing cracked, when we opened it up the gears and bearings are shot, and it was completely dry - even tho it'd been completely refilled a couple weeks before when replacing my clutch.

Think I can get anywhere with the recall, or should I just proceed as if there was none?

Just bought a 92' Vr4 -- called it up for recall, they entered the VIN and said, Nope, Nothing... --- Whats that mean?!?!? I mean, the T-case is empty, Completely, and the mechanic I had look at it recommended the "recall" .... this has probably been asked before, but, Im looking still as I keep going, and, Im just frustrated, they said
"Some work was done on it in.... 1/1/03, but, it doesnt say what" and then they say there is no active recall on my car. ... =( (ignore me if this has been posted before...)

call me lazy if ya want, but i dont feel like siftin through and findin out my answer:

did they recall it, or not?

what are they fixing on them?

san ling · 08-12-2004, 09:02 AM

yes they recalled it. if you call up and they say there is no recall on your VIN it is possible that it has been done already and what they actually mean is there is no OPEN recall on your VIN. or, they may just be dumbasses.

Grant,

I was wondering what you were up to over the weekend & was thinking of sending an email to check up on you. I hope all is well otherwise.

The part# you are looking for is MN156072 and is a New not reman transfer case. So there is no core deposit involved.

List Price $1246.32 Internet Price $1012.64 (this is calculated at 20% over cost/ only 10% more than a Mitsu employee pays)

But the 3SI price will be $975.00.

This is due in part to all the help that you provided me & also the great relationship that seems to have developed between us and the 3SI community.
I would have to place this on my Stock order to make this price possible which is done on Thursdays.
Mitsubishi does not give me a price break but does provide credit to return non-moving inventory (just to explain the why of things).

Thanks,
Howard

BTW-Can you email me a picture of your car with a list of Mods and maybe Track times ? I'm just curious.
