Two problems related to transmission failure have been reported for the 1997 Mitsubishi 3000GT. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The transmission was leaking at the time that I purchased this car. The dealer who I had inspect the car told me that the repair would be covered under warranty, which it eventually was. However, I have since learned that these transmission fail on a very widespread basis, which I was not told. I think this should be a recall issue. I was lucky to have caught my problem with just 3 months left on the warranty. No doubt many other people have not been so lucky. The mfg. Also created these transmissions in such a manner that they can not be repaired, only replaced. It would have cost me $6000 to replace this had I not noticed it until 3 more months had gone by. This is not right. Dt.
Electronic component on the transmission failed causing vehicle to stall. Mjs.
