Hi everyone, I need some advise from you all.
I'm 19 this year and just passed my license 4 months ago. I rented
with this car rental company with good experiences 2 times ago. But
my 3rd time was bad.
They gave me this lancer and after a few hours of driving, the
transmission gave way. This is my story.
I was running around 70+km/h and was approaching the traffic light
which was turning to red. I did engine breaking from 3rd gear to
2nd gear. But upon down shifting to 2nd gear, there was a loud pop
sound followed by a burned smell. I knew something bad has
happened. When the light turned green, I tried to pick up with all
the gears but I'm only rolling slowly. So I stopped the vehicle and
took a look at the engine bay. No smoke but just burn smell. So I
called their 24hr Help line and got the car towed to the workshop,
and got me another car. I asked if i'm liable for the damage, they
say we talk the next day.
The next day when I returned the car, they told me that I have to
share half of the repair cost with them. I don't think is fair to
pay as I'm just doing normal driving and the tranny gave way. I'm
not speeding or whatever so.
So what are your opinions? Please share.. Thanks! 
*Is Mitsubishi tranny weak? I heard that their tranny is prone to
get damage easily..
