Yea... I have 2 DSMs as well... and last Tuesday my "reliable one" (teh N/A laser) dumped its guts out all over I-35 I left an oil streak about 150' long as my oil housing seemingly desintigrated... ironically this happened only 1 day after my father's Mitsubishi expo microvan broke down.. heh come to think of it now, in our yard, we have 2x broken 91 Hyundai sonatas (mitsubishi) now 2x early 90's Expos (mitsubishi) 2x 92 dodge colts (mitsubishi) and now 2x broken 1g DSMs (mitsubishi) yes, thats right folks, a total of 8 fkn broke mitsu products within the past 2 years :headache: At any rate think i'm going to buy a mid 90's Toyota truck and use it as backup (and to tow all of my broken mitsubishi products around :lol: ) What is stupid is that I still like Mitsubishi...

Yeah my 90 is broke, that is my daily driver/ winter beater. MY 2g runs great right now, but I can't legally drive it so im screwed anyways.
2 DSM Households rock! ..... as long as you dont have anywhere your supposed to be at any certain time.

Same as johns. Cant get it into gear, first had clutch pedal probs, so replaced master and slave- bled it, still engaged on the floor with a 1/4 longer rod and new parts.
Thinking Im taking the pedal assembly out and also the tranny to check the fork, TOB, and pivot ball.
One thing that I learned, is that once one of your coolant lines go, you should replace all of them (especially if they are the original factory lines). When I had my '92 AWD Talon, I had 4 lines break within about a month. It would have been much less of a headache if I had just changed them all at once. Oh well, live and learn.
I'm back down to one car for now. But lucky for me it's a slow underpowered Nissan, so it should run forever. :goodluck:

John fixed his shifting problem by adjusting the petal so it is right on the floor. He has another problem now.

Yeah the whole clutch engaging on the floor thing happend to me, adjust it just oppisite of what makes sense and then bleed it again.
If that makes sense.
