I have a 3000gt mitsubishi vr4 1992 that has caused problems with the transmission, found out that the 1st synchro doesn't work, and fails in most of the vr4's that I have been checking out. This is a problem when shifting gears and could cause an accident if I were rearended or something on a main road,. It is frustrating that the company does not fix this. The car and transmission still work but it is a problem when you have to bypass gear 1 always. Thank you.
