Greetings all,
As the new kid on the block, I thought I should introduce myself and my car. I hail from the birthplace of the DSM, Normal Illinois. Until 1/5/2005, I drove a 93 Talon DL, but it gave it's life protecting me in a close encounter with a semi on the interstate up in Wisconsin. I have replaced that Talon with another. A 92 Talon TSI FWD. This new car is actually in better condition than the 93 and has 70,000 total miles less than the 93. So now I am trying to get used to driving an automatic regularly after driving manual for the past 25 years. talon829 -------------------- 92 Talon TSI FWD
93 Talon DL - died saving me from a semi encounter |

Autos can be fun too. My first was a 92 GST auto. Great daily driver until the transmission pooped on me. Evidently, the auto Mitsu transmissions are very delicate. Twin City Hydramatic has tried to rebuild my friends 91 Eagle Talon DL transmission four times now to no success. They keep burning up on the lift. Make sure you take care of it though and use OE Mitsu ATF when you flush it and you should be alright.
