[DCsGST]

[GVTalon]

95 Tsi Crankwalked @ 176,000+ miles.

 

[97turbodsm]

97000 miles and still crankwalk free

 

[spac3y]

1995 TSi with 63k - checked it today and I have about 1/8" of walk...know anyone with a 6bolt?

 

[JEDI]

All this talk of crankwalk has me rather nervous about my 99 GS-T. It seems almost random as to who it hits.

Did Mitsubishi ever actually acknowledge this problem? Or are they blaming it on owner "abuse" like Subaru does with WRX 5spds?

 

[McGruffAWD]

I thought real heard about Crankwalk before i bought my 97 GSX. In the end i figured..shit if its going to happen then happen. This car has been awesome to me so far since i have bought it. No sign of crank walk with 77,000 miles on it. "Knock on wood" Dont let crankwalk get in the way.

i dropped my oil pan today to have a look. I wanted to be 100 percent sure that my car sucks. And i was right. My #3 bearing was almost pure copper. It looked horrible. I put new bearings in hopefully this will hold me off till july when i can put my 6 bolt in.

 

[TheSh111t]

I have an ACT 2600 in my 99 GSX, no problems... YET. Then again it's only been in there for a about 7000 miles.

 

[Agent-Orange]

I had Crankwalk on my car when i bought it at 60k. O well its really not that expensive to have a new engine put in, well in comparison to some others. Plus gives you an excuse to get a built race engine.

 

[Dyncaus]

mine just walked last week, 97 gst with 63k miles. getting a 6-bolt in next week, getting kinda worried hearing about problems with the 6-bolt swap, hopefully everything will work out though.

 

[vertGST]

64,000 miles and no signs of crankwalk.

 

[Turbocharged]

Walked at 56,000...

Then again at 69,000 (shitty rebuild by mitsu dealership)

Experiencing cw symptoms again at 104,000 (6 bolt here I come!!)

 

[Turbocharged]

Ive actually walked 3 times... 56k, 69k, and now at 104k. Waiting for the motor to eat itself alive then I will buy a 6 bolt.

 

[aves911]

Mine walked at 118,000

Went 6-bolt before the motor completely went
(Had about 1/4" of crank play)

 

[1_vicious_gsx]

My understanding is that the mid-98 & 99 model years have the new thrust bearing design which is supposed to fix it. I have a ClutchMasters 2500lb plate on my 99 GSX with no failure yet at 55K. Time will tell though.

 

[Something Rudy]

i have killed 2 of them, on my 3rd 7 bolt. 80k on the first one and 50k on the second.

if/when this one dies i am going with a 4g64 stroker!!!

Poor

 

[MaineDSM]

1996 Talon AWD. 103k miles, no crankwalk.

However, even though it is a '96, it has some whacky '95 engine that has a totally different timing belt tensioner than all other 2Gs. Anyone else have a car like this?

I plan on keeping the car a long time. It'll probably have a 6-bolt down the road. But I'm going to run this whacky 7-bolt until it breaks.

[Thxbrett]

My 97 GSX at 88K miles did a Carl Lewis on my ass. Replacing the CW motor with a 6 bolt jdm motor.

Brett aka T.C.W (The Crankwalker)

 

[Sinister]

96 Gst no walk yet. Know a guy with gsx well over 100k no walk. Also guy with 97 talon tsi awd with well over 100k and 12 sec car not a hint of walk hehehehehe.

 

[-=TWITCH=-]

68k NO cw knock on wood!

 

[TalonRacer18]

This post is probably dead but do gsx's get crankwalk as much as gst's?

 

[eitan]

1996 GSX
63,300 miles

No signs of 'walk. (Warranty covers it for another 2 years/24,000 miles if it does!)

 

[brokegsx]
