Manual transmission failure. Stick shift would pop out of 5th gear on occassion and then started to pop out of gear in 4th then complete transmission failure. Car has less than 43000 miles on it. I've heard of several other people with this same problem. Also drivers side door handle fell off, again heard several other people with same problem. Obviously a defect.

All dsm AWD models from 1990 to 1998 have had this transfer case problem and subsequent recall. Upon inspection by a local aamco shop, it was determined that there was very little, if any, lubricant in the transfer case (assumably a leak). This severely damaged the transmission, and they're asking ~$2600 to rebuilt transmission and transfer case.
