Re: My 3rd gear

Ok, well if it doens't want to go into 3rd, that is probably a synchro...a common problem which is covered in the FAQ. You can also talk to youngvr4 who replaced a few synchros.

As far as leaking oil from the tranny...first off a new tranny in no way costs 5 grand, 3 grand at the most. That aside, the info you gave doesn't really help much with locating the leaking problem. If it is the transfer case, that is under recall, as they almost all leak at some point, and they can be fixed/replaced for free at any dealership. If it is leaking from somewhere else, then it could be a problem...but without more info, can't really diagnose the problem.
I suggest jacking up hte car and seeing if you can locate where the leak is...if you can, then go to stealth316.com, find the 'AWD drivetrain oil change' instructions(this might be in the FAQ...I don't remember) and use those pictures to show us where hte leak is coming from...otherwise take it to a mechanic you trust and have them try and locate the leak.

Your 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is the 92nd out of the 315 that were made that year. Only 21 of which are exactly identical.
