ok guys im looking into buying a evo ix mr but i dont think i can afford it so i am most likley going to get a ix with the se package but if i buy/trade my 5-speed for a 6speed of another evo owner/member and install it on my car could they void my warranty....

 

It may considering that if something happens to the tranny and u try to get warranty work on it, they will know by the VIN# that the car came with a 5sp and they will blame the failure on you or the person that installed it, mitsu will find anything to void the warranty, i wouldnt take a chance

 

I would say most def yes it voids it, however if the dealer did the swap there is a slim chance they may honor the warranty but Im not sure.

 

When you buy an evo.....consider signing the papers officialy "warranty void"!

 

Seriously, what do you think?

You can afford 30k+tax/lc but not 33k for the MR? Do you really need a 6sp?

How long have you been saying - when I get my Evo? Seems like forever - and still you have no Evo. Am I missing something here?



FWIW -- From South Coast Mitsu:
EVOLUTION IX RS $27,999 INCLUDING DESTINATION CHARGE
EVOLUTION IX GSR $28,599 INCLUDING DESTINATION CHARGE
EVOLUTION IX SSL $31,299 INCLUDING DESTINATION CHARGE
EVOLUTION IX MR $32,999 INCLUDING DESTINATION CHARGE

EVOLUTION 9 SE GSR=$29,999 PLUS TAX AND LIC
EVOLUTION 9 MR SE ONLY FOR $33,999 PLUS TAX AND LIC

 

buying a 6speed tranny will end up costing you like 4.4k+ (thats a lot)

no one who bought an MR would really want the 5speed because most spend the extra dough to have the 6speed. if they wanted a straight on drag car with 5 speed they would have just bought the gsr.

 

This thread is funny.

 

i got a job and i dont have a co signer until octoberish mabe sooner...its all depends on my dad...and i dont know if the mr is really worth the money when you buy a car that you have to pay for alot changes, rather than if thats what i want to have over if its cost effective and do i really need it...but damn cumon its a tranny made by mitsu....idk mabe its just a stupid thing in my head thats saying MR...MR....MR..

 

actually i get the ix se for 30,000 OTD and the mr for 33,800 but idk... tough choice...the rason i got the prices is because i got a mebership to Directbuy and they waive the handleing fee and i also have a employee dicount from mitsubishi that takes off 2750 dealer invoice price...and then there is also the solid trade-in of trying to get mabe a grand for the old caravan...if we get 1k for the minivan then it will be a mr but till then im ganna have to downgrade to se...W/E i guess i should be happy getting a evo to begin with..

 

You have job, and poor usage of the English language.

Something keeps telling me - we all have heard this before...

Stop kidding yourself, its too much car...

Why not stop asking ridiculous questions - like making a 5sp into a 6sp, just because you like to shift that one extra time - gearing is almost the same in the 5/6.

 

Are you planing on auto-x or road racing? If the answer is no, your wasting your money, pick up a 5sp!
