Thirdly, the SST is a completely closed unit. Meaning, in order to do any work on it, one will actually need to cut through the transmission box without damaging the internals beyond repair. I do not know much about the GTR or the VW auto clutch trannies to compare, but I do know that the VW trannies can have the clutch plates replaced when needed. This is not a possibility with the SST. You break it, you gotta pay to get a whole new tranny. And you only get one if you ship the damaged part back to the manufacturer. Sucks huh!!!
Put down the crack pipe before you post. You are assigning *your* limitations to the rest of us. Please stop doing that.

The SST is an assembly of parts with cases bolted together and can easily be dis-assembled. Just because Mitsu doesn't sell parts, gaskets, filters, clutches, etc. for it does not mean it cannot be serviced. If you'd ever actually looked at one you would see the bolts holding the case halves together and easily see where the mating faces are. With no welds how could it possibly be sealed?

Note Mitsu doesn't sell components for the inside of the engine ECU, the radio or NAV system, individual wires from assorted harnesses, etc. - they service those items as assemblies only. I suspect that Mitsu doesn't sell replacement batteries for the TPMS sensors or seal kits for Brembo calipers either. Doesn't mean they can't be serviced.
