    Who has the most miles on an 8G?

    Just wondering who has the highest mileage on an 8G. I read about tranny problems on them and wonder what kind of mileage I can expect before trouble.

    then why didn't you just ask if anybody has tranny problems and at what mileage did they start?

    but to answer your question, 95K and never had a problem w/ the tranny.

    someone in ny i believe was trying to sell an 8g i think a 99 with 247k miles on it.

    i have a 2000 with 130K miles on it and never hd a tranny problem. if yours feels like its slipping try to get the tranny fluid changed, it might need it. if it continues after the fluid change then...... new tranny most likely.

    Whoa, your tranny went out? Can you tell us more about the symptoms you had? Thanks.

    Yeah, tell about the warning signs, if any you had before the tranny went out. But on the topic of highest miles, I did hear about one guy here that had 250K that was planning on selling his. Guys here were joking about advertising it as 1/4 million miles..lol But personally, I have 220K on my 1999 ES V6, that I bought new off the lot in August on '99.

    01 4banger ES. 70k no probs at all. Flush the tranny every 30k. bought the car new. I know it cant be a bad tranny cuz my woman drives it mostly.. and she beats the hell outta my poor little car.

    it's reassuring to hear that the v6 8g's have been so reliable for a lot of people when it came to major components. yay for mitsu... for once

    250k is nuts though

  17. #17
    before i bought this car, i did a SHITLOAD of research on various cars.( SE-R Spec V was my second choice) I have actually read reviews stating the quality of the mitsu drivetrain.

    145K+..... 2000 Galant, 2nd owner. Changed the timing belt at 133K and replced one of the coilpack boots once.. Just routine maintenance.

    I now have 107k on my GTZ, tranny is starting to slip I think, I'm going to change the tranny fluid and hopefully make it through the winter...5-speed swap will happen in the spring.
