About 6 months ago I read a post concerning our tranny problems and how we could fill out a form voicing our tranny problems via the web site www.nhtsa.dot.gov. I completed the on-line form about 6 months ago and I recieved a call today from the department of transportation. After speaking with the representative he advised me to create a post for all 3si members that experienced similar tranny problems. I informed him about the poor quality of the transaxle and the common grinding problems we have due to the poor quality of the synchro's. I also advised him about the leaking problems most of us experience and I advised him of the fact Mitsubishi does not make replacement parts only replacement tranny's. He was very helpful and I am faxing him a copy of my bill for my former tranny replacement cost. I urge all members that have experienced similar problems to please take the time to fill out the on-line form. If you have any questions the representive even set up a email account [email protected] and advised me he will answer any questions from our members.
