Description of the problem | Although no major components have failed, the synchros have been a continuous problem with 3000gts and steal. Ths and transmissions are not servicable. My 2nd and 3rd synchros are very worn and are failing. I am prepared for the worst to come and would be grateful of a recall before the tranny is complete trash and there is a wreck. Others in a close network of 3000gt/stealth owners have unfortunately been in wrecks and spent $1000s because of faulty parts from mitsubishi which they have denied responsibility for. This needs to stop! Thanks -josh. *ak |
