The 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT, especially the turbocharged models, is known for oil leaks which could stem from the valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket, or turbo oil lines.

The manual transmission versions often face synchro issues, particularly in the higher gears, leading to grinding or difficulty shifting.

The interference engine design means that a timing belt failure can result in severe engine damage, and it is crucial to replace the timing belt at recommended intervals.

The cooling system, including the radiator and water pump, can develop issues leading to engine overheating, especially under heavy load or high-performance driving.

Problems with the electrical system, such as failing alternators, battery drain, and malfunctioning sensors, are common in this model.

The twin-turbo setup can suffer from turbocharger failure due to wear and tear, leading to reduced performance or engine damage.

The 3000GT's suspension components can wear out prematurely, causing handling issues and uneven tire wear.

Issues with the fuel injectors or fuel pump can lead to poor engine performance, rough idling, or starting problems.

For manual transmission models, the clutch can wear out quickly, especially if the car is driven aggressively or used for racing.
