1993 Mitsubishi 3000GT problems and owner complaints

MY MANUAL TRANSMISSION HAS A PROBLEM, THE CAR IS STILL DRIVABLE, BUT EVERY TIME I PUSH MY CLUTCH, MY SHIFTER MOVES UP AND DOWN, FORWARD, OR BACKWARD AND SOMETIMES GOES OUT OF THE GEAR. I THOUGHT THAT IT COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH ONE OF MY MOUNTS GOING BAD, BUT A MECHANIC CHECKED THEM AND SAID THEY WERE OK. THEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE FAILURES OF TRANSMISSIONS BY OTHER CARS JUST LIKE MINE, SO IT'S PROBABLY A MANUFACTURER'S MISTAKE BECAUSE THERE ARE THE SO CALLED GETRAG 5 SPEED TRANSMISSIONS INSIDE MY CAR AND THEY ARE THE ONE'S SUPPOSEDLY TO GO B…

I HAVE A 1993 MITSUBISHI 300 GT VR4. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE POWER TRAIN. THE TRANSFER CASE LOCKS UP AND BREAKS. ON MY CAR IT LOCKED UP AND BROKE BOTH THE TRANSFER CASE AND THE SPINE ON THE TRANSMISSION. THERE IS NOTHING YET WRITTEN ON WHAT MITSUBISHI SHOULD DO ABOUT THE RECA..

THIS IS THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE OF THIS INCIDENT (4/14/06). THE ISSUE INVOLVES THE SEAT BELT MECHANISMS ON MY 1993 MITSUBISHI 3000GT VR-4. THE SEAT BELTS WILL NOT RETRACT FULLY AND AT TIMES ARE SIMPLY INOPERABLE. THE REAL SAFETY ISSUE BECOMES APPARENT WHEN I AM BRAKING AND THE SEAT BELTS HAVE TOO MUCH SLACK AS A RESULT OF THE MECHANISM NOT PROVIDING ENOUGH TENSION TO SECURE THE BELTS. THIS FAILURE COULD POTENTIALLY LEAD TO A SCENARIO WHERE I AM BRAKING FORCEFULLY, AND BY NOT BEING PROPERLY RESTRAINED, COME INTO CONTACT WITH MY STEERING WHEEL…

I OWN A 1993 MITSUBISHI 3000GT VR-4. MY SEAT BELTS DO NOT RETRACT ALL THE WAY AFTER I PUT THEM ON, LEAVING ENOUGH SLACK FOR ME TO HIT THE STEERING WHEEL IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS UNSAFE AND THEY NEED TO BE RECALLED. THANK YOU. *NM

THE SEAT BELT IN MY 1993 MITSUBISHI 3000GT SL DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY. THE BELT WILL STILL HAVE SLACK IN IT AND IT WILL NOT RETRACT TO ITS ORIGINAL POSITION. IF I HAVE TO BRAKE HARD THE BELT WILL NOT KEEP ME AGAINST THE BACK OF THE SEAT BECAUSE IT HAS SO MUCH SLACK, ONCE IT IS PULLED ON IT WILL NOT RETRACT. SOMETIMES AFTER I GET OUT OF THE CAR THE SEAT BELT WILL HANG OUTSIDE OF THE DOOR AFTER I SHUT THE DOOR FROM ALL OF THE SLACK IN THE BELT. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON DODGE STEALTHS AND MITSUBISHI 3000GT AND IT IS VERY UNSAFE. THANK…
