My '95 mitsubishi eclipse gsx at 50k(1/99) had a problem with the clutch and shortblock. Well it was under warranty and was fixed. Now I have 80k(8/22) and I'm having the exact same problem. I've spoken with the dealership and I was told by todd mason that it's a known problem with turbo eclipse's. Mitsu only offered to pay for a new shortblock but left me to pay the labor which would be in the thousands. They said it's no longer under warranty. The problem I have is that 30k is not enough miles or time for the clutch and shortblock to break down again and it's the exact same problem. I feel it's a mitsu defect in design. I do not want to pay big buck every time this happens. If it's a known problem I say they should do a recall on it. Help what do I do? How do I argue my point??? Everybody seems to agree with me, co-workers, dealership, mitsu customer service person. Everybody but the dealer rep who has to authorize the work. I've kept the car in good condition and have had all my regularly scheduled maintance done.

There is something wrong with my transmission. I had it serviced as required at the appropriate time. I filled out the above questionaire as much as I could. I contacted the federal safety agency and they told me to file a complaint by filing out this questionaire. I hope you will look into this problem. I don't have very many miles on this car. The transmission should not need major work or replaced. Thank you-
