well, what do yo uguys do, dont switch to 5th at high rpm...what if in middle of race!!

 

Hopefully they can warranty your car with the aftermarket clutch. Good luck man.

 

they better, i just bought the car like that, from them!!!

 

I just had my tranny done under warrenty for 5th gear grind.

I bought the car used out of state. Went to the local dealership and was upfront about the aftermarket clutch and the service writer said he would take care of it.

It took about 3 weeks to get it done, but I had to get proof that the 30k service was done from the previous owner. Once I had that, I got the car back 3 days later and it shifts so nice now

 

but why did you need proof of 30k service...you bought the car used!...shouldn't all taht cover you anyway, did you buy the car from the dealer you took it to?

 

I bought it from a private seller.

The claims manager wanted to see that the car was properly taken care of, fluids, belt etc.

Had I not been able to talk to the past owner about it, Mitsu would not have covered it under warrenty. My car had 59k miles on it when I brought it in, the manager new I bought it used and was probably trying to play the odds that I could not produce a reciept stating the work done.

Some shops who do work also report it to some database where it can be found. For example, there is Midus up the street from me, they are a certified repair facilty and when I had some work done to my truck/oil changed it gets reported.
I had run a carfax on it and all the service work is on that report.

 

oh ok....see in my situation i bought the car from the dealer.

 

its a very common problem and most eovs do have that problem. there is even a TSp out for the problem
just make sure you can is stock and take it in to get it warranteed. if its an 03 you should have the 5 year.60 power train warrantee.

 

penzoil synchroshift got rid of my 5th gear grind

 

Time for a rebuild 3rd will be shortly around the corner, I know form exp just get a T.R.E rebuild you can't go wrong.
