Mark, I'm trying to wrap my head around your statement that if the manual transmission in your inexpensive econobox regardless of the mileage ever fails you wouldn't buy another Mitsubishi. Soooo, even if your Mirage went 500,000 miles / 800,000 km) that would be unacceptable? The Mirage is a machine. Machines wear out. As you well know, they aren't magic boxes that provide a lifetime of service. I fully expect my manual transmission to go out in my OS/RVR/ASX some day because it's a machine. I'll just replace it with another transmission.
