hey guys, i have a problme with my car, the 5th gear is grinding when i go above 50 or shift hard into 5th gear and at high speeds it will grind no matter what. i heard about a TSB but i don't know if i want to take my car to the dealer with the mods that i have on it. if i should take it to a dealer then which one should i take it to in suburban chicagoland. please help me out

 

took mine to libertyville mitsu. No hassle, no problems, they just ordered the part and took care of it.

 

did you have any mods on your car?? who should i talk to because i'm gonna take it there as soon as i can

 

Well join the club You shouldnt have any problems even with your mods, I didnt have any trouble at that time with the mods I had. Although, I recommend if you do have them fix it, I dont know how many miles are on your clutch, but if you want to throw a new clutch in, get a stock clutch if you want to keep your tranny warrantied. I made that mistake of having them put an ACT HD in and they would no longer warranty the tranny after the 5th gear grind came back, which a lot have even after the TSB fix.

 

i had the t-case replaced 3 times with more mods than you. you shouldnt have a problem. i also had my 2nd and 5th gear syncros replaced as well with more mods.

 

thanks a lot guys, i just took mine to schaumburg mitsubishi and the guy drove it, found the grind, and said to drop the car off and it would be covered under warrenty and i'll get it back next week, thanks a lot again

 

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

 

Should be able to the coverage is to 60K. Most Mitsus will do this without a complaint. My dealership knows the mods I've done but they weren't going to turn away the ridiculous money the factory was paying them to do this work.
Good for you and them

 

i just got the car back on friday, they replaced the 3,4,5 gears and it feels great now, no charge i might add

 

Where did you bring it to?

 

Really, where is Schaumburg Mitsu??? What state?

 

Wow Glad they fixed yours. Are you on stock clutch and did they give you any hassles?

its in schaumburg, IL. suburban chicago, i was on a stock clutch but decent amount of mods, they didn't hassle me one bit, test drop it, found the grind right away, and fixed 3rd, 4th, adn 5th gears. wasn't too good with attitude but they got the job done without any problems
