Shari's 2009 Raliart

I contacted and sent pictures of the failure to a Mitsubishi service manager. He is contacting and sending pictures to his service represenative but doubts anything will happen.

Very sad as parts availability is scarce and very expensive.

The SST is a great transmission, but the maintenance/repair/replacement costs for it are enough to make your cringe.

Hopefully they do something to help out, but I don't thing anyone would be surprised if they don't. I've never driven an SST type transmission on any car but they seem pretty sweet.

Wow! Not at all what you'd expect to see from DD use!

Well, when there's an OE seal that's missing, chances are pretty high you'll find plenty of things you weren't expecting.

Well just for shits I asked for a parts quote for a new trans and transfer case.
10812$ for the transmission and 3619$ for the transfer case. Ridiculous to say the least.

I'm in the middle of disassembly of the transmission. I need a special spanner wrench to remove the clutch assembly.

10812$ for the transmission and 3619$ for the transfer case.

Wat? Mind blown. I would expect that for a Ferrari transmission, not a Mitsu.

Gross, I drove an SST in a 2014 legacy it was horrible.

[Kracka]

SST is a Mitsubishi dual-clutch transmission, and it is not horrible, especially with tuning. Are you thinking of Subaru's CVT transmission?
