Gear Box Problems... What Do I Do?? by magneto(m): 10:14pm On Jan 04, 2016
Hi guys, so I drive a '94 mitsubishi space wagon 2000 GLXi with automatic transmission. Unfortunately I hadn't changed d transmission oil for yrs and d gear system packed up. The situation now is dat the car doesn't move at all...not even an inch, regardless of how much u push down d pedal. A mechanic I showed it to suggested dat the ''wiring" of the gears (wateva dat means) must have worn out but could possibly be repaired by a gearbox specialist, and he recommended one.
Another person told me its best to just replace the gearbox entirely, but it could be quite expensive. Pls guys I need ur advice here. Has anyone had such experience with this particular car and how did u resolve it?? Any idea how much the gearbox for that specific car costs, and any reliable place I can get it??
I anticipate ur replies, thank you.

Hmmm...really? How affordable are we talking abt here. But I'm not sure if I can handle manual now after being so used to automatic.
