Chrysler used Mitsu transmissions (and had problems of their own). They make good to excellent RWD transmissions, but if you get a FWD one, look out!
As the exception that proves the rule, I had an 87 K-car in law school that was indestructible...God knows I tried.
It had the 2.5 Mitsu powertrain and, sans A/C, was almost powerful enough to tolerate. The braking system was for chit, though. Nobody made heavy-duty rotors or pads for it, not that I could find.
