1000 miles and my evo is in the dealer with them reporting they found a ton of metal in the trans oil and casing...my question is what now on a car a week old......what would you want Mitsubishi to do? It has had very light use and I have been babying the thing....obviously a fault from new

 

They need to replace, not fix. It's obvious something went wrong there.

 

Thanks I need to mark the casing or grab the numbers or something

 

Probably a manufacturing defect. Some people get all the luck, eh? Sorry to hear that.

 

yeah...make sure they don' tjust try to fix it ..... mark it or something.

 

I am now worried about the front diff ect....does the center diff run off the trans oil? does the front diff run off the trans oil?

 

I'd demand a new one.

 

A new car?

 

at the very least a new tranny

 

I thought I was the only one! Dealer said Mitsu has never heard of bad trans in evo. Mine only had 380 miles when it started whining. I hadn't thought that the front diff might share the same oil and shavings. They want to just replace the bearings.

 

I guess I loose the best break in method bet proven not to work!!!

 

How did you know something was wrong? Noise?

 

This could br the tip of the iceburg....there was another member on here complaining of a diff noise maybe ....my noise started around 500 miles

 

That was me with the diff noise. I get it when downshifting at higher RPMS. A grinding noise almost. But only when I let up off the gas Winding down from say 6k to 3k it makes a loud grinding noise then stops after 3k back down to 0.
