ahhhhhh so if i hadnt had enough problems wiht my car this weekend this had to happen to me now. i used my car for work tonite and it was working fine all night. then after work i didnt use my car for an hour basically. i got back in the car and started driving when i realiezed thrid and fourth gear are completly jamed. i can push it in to gear but its very hard and there is definitly a problem. i have no clue what happened. i did buy the car used about 2 weeks ago and it had about 19k miles on it.

obviously im taking it to the dealership tomorrow but my question is that can i take it a dealership closer to me or the one i origanally got the car from.

 

You can take it to any dealer as long as the car is under warranty.If you have any mods you may want to take them off as the dealer may say that your transmission problems are a result of the mods and may not cover your repairs under warranty.

 

yea the car is under completle warranty but did come wiht an aftermarket exhaust which they told me was stock but clearly isnt. anway thats the only mod and do you no if they pay for labor?

 

If it the repair is going to be covered by the warranty than yes.Parts and labor should be covered by the dealer.

 

5-speed or 6-speed?

 

6 speed, now a 4 speed considering the only way i got home was shifting from 2nd to 5th inorder to not lock up my whole tranny for mins at a time

 

If you go in there with a after market exhaust they probably wont cover it.

 

I'm pretty sure that he would be fine with the aftermarket exhaust.But than again it does depend on the dealer itself.If he has any doubts than he should take the car back to the dealer he bought it from since he stated that the car came with the aftermarket exhaust.

 

yeah it did idk what the hell that was about car sales men are dumb i could tell it wasnt stock right off the bat

 

They were probably only concerned with making the sale.They don't get paid extra for knowing if a car is stock or not.

 

You should of asked them to replace it with a stock exhaust, I bet you they would of if you were serious about buying.. and you were..

and mitsu will void a warranty over anything, an exhaust will be a deff.

 

i thought that it wouldnt have been a bad idea since that exhaust was perfect and gonna save me some money

 

I would take it back to the dealership that you bought it from for sure, your state may have laws that can offer you some protection. Does it just have a catback or a full TBE. Also, this may seem like a stupid question to ask but are you sure it's not the stock exhaust? The stock exhaust tip is probably 3" wide and chrome so a new Evo owner might not realize it's stock. The stock muffler is an oval style muffler and the midpipe enters from the side. An aftermarket muffler will almost always be a round straight through muffler.

 

the exhaust has a blue tip and almost like the can is carbon fiber

 

sounds like HKS. Catbacks are okay by numerous dealers but anything else...
