I have already contacted Jon@tre to see what my options are just thought I would share some of my woes on here.

This happened when removing the tranny for a clutch job. I have done this many times obviously without this result. We used a very small pry bar and very little force, it just came off. I am thinking it is due to a crack from a grease monkey at a mitsu dealer. The last time i removed the transfercase we could tell the bolts were way over torqued. 120+ on 80 ft/lbs rated bolts.

 

Gotta love the Mitsu's quality......

Sad to hear, good luck with replacing it.

 

put it back and weld the sh.it out of it

 

Cast aluminum, don't know if it can be welded.

 

it should be able to be welded... dunno if it'll be weakened by the welding or by the fact that it was welded.

it also has ntohing to do with the qualify of mitsubitshi has to do with the dumbasses that wrench on cars across the nation.

 

u can weld it back...don't ask me how i know

 

oh **** that sux man

 

A friend of mine did a lot more damage than that to his cast aluminum tranny case and it welded back up fine.

 

Thanks for the words of encouragement guys. I dropped it off at a local welding shop today. I just have to order the seals for it from TRE. The guy at the welding shop had me remove them as they would melt.

 

cast aluminum can deffenatly be welded. it just doesn't look pretty when its finished so you won't be winning any shows. hahaha

 

I shoot for FTD's at autocrosses

 

WORD!

 

yeah they love to over torque everything there at mitsu. dealer ships.. they get trigger happy with that air gun..

 

got to love the quality of mitsubishi transfer case :-)

 

Like someone else already said it has nothing to do with Mitsu's quality but lask of knowledge on be half of the mechanic.
