Hey guys! I have a 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart that has about 141k miles on it. I bought it from my brother(don’t ask. He’s on my ****-list rn) and I’ve had it less than a year. First, it started with the manifold. I got a weld on it and it works greats. Next, the CV axles and rods. Got those replaced. All together about $2,800(that I didn’t have). Now, the tranny is skipping 3rd and 5th gear and wont reverse. Mechanic says a new tranny will cost $8,800 and it won’t even be new cause he couldn’t find one. Unfortunately, I was told I have 2 other leaks: (they estimated me around $1,500 for repairs) oil pan and valve seals???(sorry if I said that wrong) I don’t know if those leaks tie together with the tranny giving out but pls lmk if they do!! I LOVE this car yall but I don’t have the money to put in for her and I have $7,000 loan out on her as well. I can’t total her out with my insurance because they don’t cover it so I need the most bang for my buck. Please help me out if u can! I gotta get to work somehow!

 

Sounds like the dreaded magnet failure for the SST:

The oil pan, valve seals and SST failure are unrelated.

Sorry to hear about your string of bad luck.
