here are the tsb for the transmission in 03-03 evo 8..this is from another member and a dealer that is helping out.

 

where did you get this!!! if i called up mitsu and told them about my grind from 4th to 5th they would replace it due to this?

 

I have the same damn grinding and my FcKed up dealer said that because they couldnt replicate it they couldnt warrantee it. I have taken it there twice and the have driven it once , they claim that because they driven it once it doesnt exist . any suggestions dafarmer69?

 

if they give you probs about it just make a copy and take it to them..if they still do nothing take it to a lawyer, he may get through to them..

 

I don't believe a TSB and recall item are the same. I'm under the impression that TSBs are resolutions to problems so the techs don't have to diagnose every rattle and squeak. F04 I think you're going to have to pay for the work related to the grind.

 

yeah i just talked to a tech to get mine looked at and i mentioned the tsb and he said the same thing

 

your right. but this could be a leg to stand on for people with trans probs..

 

does this TSB change any thing if I have an ACT street Disc in the car?

 

Calm down guys. Dealers have had crazy problems with these cars due to bad operaters and unfortunatly us good guys are biting the bullet. If you have any problems with your dealer at all reguarding your Evo then ask for the district reps phone number and setup an apointment. If they dont give it to you then go through the mitsu customer service phone number. These guys are here to help you out, there like mitsu's middle man between the company and the dealer. If this tranny issue is honestly what is going on with your car then print the TSB out, make an apointment with your district rep and im sure he will help you out. He wil ride with you in the car and have you show him whats up, i know mine did. I have delt with my dis rep a few times and honestly he makes me proud to own a mitsu. And talking to techs i hate to say is 99% of the time not going to get you anywhere with an evo. If you want to see one get mad just mention that you saw some thing on the internet, LOL. They will roll there eyes and tell you your wrong.

 

these are the things i honestly love hearing on this site

 

My statement stands corrected I have taken my car to HB mitsu and now my car is in the hands of professionals if they cant replicate it then hell, I am just a sh!tty driver

 

as long as your evo is still within the 60/60 powertrain then mitsu should cover this. print the attached file, and then email me for the other one, it is too large for me to attach on here. then take them to your dealership. and be sure if you have a 5 point and a helmet to take them out of the car. if you dont, then they may not work on it, same goes with a boost controller.

 

My first gear went out after 1k with my act street clutch and pusing 3 somethin whp and there covering it under warr. there just taking FOREVER its been 3 weeks w/o any work. w

 

my 03 5th gear grind, totally eligible, but i already got 52000 miles on my car, still can have them fix it for free?

 

Nice find.
