I know that Getrag does make transmissions that don't have sealed cases,
some of the berettas/corsicas/cavaliers with the 3.1L v6 from the earlier
90's had getrag 5 speeds in them, and they were fully serviceable.
Perhaps the transmission that Mitsu had chosen was one of the few sealed
case ones that Getrag offered?

And for Dodge's sake too. If people are going to have to shell out $6k for
a transmission instead of just being able to rebuild it, that's going to bad
publicity for DC and they'll lose customers over time.
