Description of the problem | My transfer case is leaking, and i have replaced/filled it with new transmission fluid. I understand this is a safety hazard if the transfer case goes dry, not only will it lock up and break, but my life and others could be in danger. I have read of other instances where the transfer case has seized at highway speed and caused very dangerous conditions. It would be appreciated that this problem is looked into because i've read it is a very common problem with the awd models of the 3000gt and stealth, which mitsubishi hasn't issued a fix or recall.*ak |
