Transmission Not Go Into Gear problems of the 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer

First occurrence happened while attempting to leave a convenience store. Clutch went to floor of vehicle, and did not know what was wrong. Since 1st occurrence it has happened regularly approximately every 3-4 weeks. For the last 8 years. Clutch become spongy and requires me to refill master cylinder with brake fluid. Several occasions I have been driving when the occurred. Car loses ability to shift due to clutch not engaging gears. I must be attentive to fluid levels to prevent it from happening. Has been diagnosed as slave cylinder problem.

Failure of 5th gear. Mitsubishi has a current TSB released on this failure and denied repair under warranty. The warranty claim was denied due to the fact that an aftermarket clutch, of higher quality was installed on the vehicle after failure of manufacturer installed clutch.

When driving my vehicle the transmission does not shift gears properly. Normal operation of the vehicle leads to slipping transitions from gear to gear making it difficult to maintain/reach/sustain speed. This occurs in both highway and city environments. I have had the car serviced according to manufacturer's recommendations of every 3000 miles. I have about 40000 miles on the vehicle at this point. It started doing this at about 6000 miles. I have had the vehicle checked multiple times. When taken to the dealership they informed me nothing was wrong. I have changed the transmission fluid as well as all filters. I was told this is 'normal' for the car. I do not think however that this is a typical behavior for new vehicles.

When driving my vehicle the transmission does not shift gears properly. Normal operation of the vehicle leads to jerky transitions from gear to gear and results in the inability to gauge the amount of pressure need to maintain/reach/sustain speed. This occurs in both highway and city environments. I have had the car serviced according to mfg'r recommendations of every 3000 miles. I have about 35000 miles on the vehicle at this point. It started doing this at about 4000 miles. I have had the vehicle checked multiple times. When taken to the dealership they informed me nothing was wrong. I have changed the trans. Fluid as well as all filters. I was told this is 'normal' for the car. I do not think however that this is a typical behavior for new vehicles. I have also had a problem for the past 1500 or so miles with my breaks squeaking. When I try to stop or pull out from a parking space they have a squealing sound. I have also had this evaluated at the Mitsubishi repair shop and was informed they are fine.

Continuation of odi#10023954--within 2 weeks of repair on transmission (replaced valve body)--car repeated the same symptoms would not kick into gear to get on freeway or would jerk and lurch, slipping and sticking. The dealer replaced 6 parts on the outside of transmission--never looked inside for internal damage even though an independent mechanic told me there was probably internal damage when the valve body failed.
