Default dsm question?

hey, i have been looking into getting an eagle talon for my first car....now i know some people say they aren't dependable but i dont really care. I have read up on commomn problems they have...I have found a few that with the 1st and 2nd gear grinding....I was wondering is it was possible to buy a stronger transmition that would be so likely to crap out on me....if it is possible how much do you think it would be...thanks for your help.

If you can drop the tranny yourself, Shep http://www.shepracing.com/ does a "stronger" rebuild for ~1 grand.

Don't get one from LEVEL 10! I had 2 of them from those guys and blew both of them to hell in my 2G Talon. I only had 325HP to the wheels too. You have to except the fact that Mitsubishi makes a awesome motor but really sucky transmissions. I always tell people when they get a DSM, buy a couple of extra trannies and atleast one transfer case if its AWD. Good luck.

or you could just get one with a recently rebuilt tranny with new syncro's and evo shift forks. They will support 350+WHP(its what i've got)
