Factory recall?
I saw a post on here where someone said they got their tranny rebuilt for free due to a factory recall on the 5th gear synchro/p0300 problem the 03's have. Was this guy just full of BS? I called Mitsu USA directly to ask if there was any such recall, and they told me that the only one for 03's was for a certification tag. Does anyone have any info on this subject?

Its not a recall but SOME dealerships will change your grinding syncro's, I got my 3rd and 5th syncros changed under warranty... but i had a few problems. check link.

Well, my warranty was up quite some time ago. I just figured that with the multitude of 03 owners having this problem, mitsu would step up and rectify it. Then again, we are talking about Mitsu.

I think I have the same problem with you guys.
I feel the 5th gear had some problem when I drive like 60mph and change from 4th to 5th. And then I will hear the sound like cracking when shifting from 4 to 5 at 4-5000RPM at that kind of speed.
So is it true that Mitsu dealer will done it for us?

I just bought parts for this and had it fixed. Parts were about $110. I had to replace the fifth gear on the output shaft, and the synchro ring. Does not grind at all.
