Five problems related to transfer case have been reported for the 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Transfer case seized up due to leak n transfercase. Manufacturer refuses to uphold recall and fix the problem. During seize up csr lostcontrol and spun out of control on I-25 luckly no one was injuerd but I still hold Mitsubishi and dealers responsible. They still have yet to contact my lawyer.
While driving at 80 mph the vehicle transfer case failed. This caused the rear wheels to lock up resulting in consumer losing control of vehicle. Please provide more details. Ts.
This is the third transmission that I've had put in my car, and I've only owned the car for two years. First transmission went, and was replaced. One month later I had to go back in because of the transfer case had gone bad. And now, a year later, my synchros are going out already. In about three months, I beleive I will need a new transmition, once again. It's an ongoing cycle. Or a way for the company to make lots of money, for our transmitions are very expensive.

Transmission was under warranty at the time. First the hub went out on the transimission betweent the first and second synchro. About 50 miles after I had the new tranny put in, the transfer case went bad.
This is my 2nd tranny because the first tranny was grinding from a 1st to 2nd gear. The problem was the 1-2 gear synchro that got worn out due to the manufacturer's poor design. Upon failure at 55mph, the car suddenly stopped and the transmission and transfer case locked up. The bay ride Mitsubishi dealership asked me to replace to a new transmission which cost me $3000. I did and the car ran fine for the first 15k miles then the shifting became notchy and that's when my transfer case gave up and I bought a new one and installed it myself. Something ought to be done about Mitsubishi's poor transmission design.
