Description of the problem | While accelerating into second gear i heard a load thump and my car stopped accelerating. My transmission has failed. When you put it in any gear and release the clutch the car goes nowhere. Why does mitsubishi make a car with 300hp and a tranny that cannot handle it. I spoke with 3 other 3kgt owners that have all had tranny problems with this car... It deserves a recall!*ak |
