All 4 wheels lock up upon transmission failure. transmission is prone to leaking.transmission cannot be rebuilt, total replacement is necessary due to unavailability of parts. this is a consistant problem with mitsubishi 3000gt vr4s and dodge stealth r/t turbos, which have the same drivetrain.*ak | |||
