Turns out...

Dj's old talon has severe crankwalk. Kyle, Ryan, and John were working on fixing Kyle's oil leaks, as Kyle bought the talon from DJ this week. The front case showed visable wear from the crankshaft on it. Thinking this was very odd, John pushed on the crank. KLUNK! Hmm.... So he measure it, don't quote me on this, as I am sure he'll post on it later, but I think it was .06" walked.
Remember this was an automatic car for the first 100k+ of its life. So our tech, Kyle, (not the same one with the lisp and mike's old 93 awd) gets to rip out his motor and figure out why it died.
Oh well, shit happens.

Being so straight-edge will cause anyone to go irrate.

How would this be relevant to it being an auto in the past. YOu have to figure that when then engine beacame used in a MT application that the common factors in every normal CW case came into play. Since milage and use varies so much with CW their is no logical way to say this is a case of an AT walking.

Nobody said this is a case of an auto walking. Swanny mentioned it was an auto for most if the car's life as an informative fact. My guess is that this crankwalk has nothing to do with the transmission and more to due with the shitty quality control at Mitsubishi. I'd also be willing to bet it was already getting play while still with the auto. You sound crank, is Chester not putting out?

or maybe its because i owned it we all know god likes to screw me over
