What I agree with him!

 

I got 71,000 on my mine daily driver stock trans and t-case and 430whp, and never had one problem with it yet... Now after putting this up lets hope it continues to go that way..

 

mines got 53,000 with roughly 390HP and it seems fine although i screwed up a 1st gear synchro

 

i have about 78k on my stock trans and tcase and usually see 1.6 to 17 60fts at the track and my fluid looks spotless when i service them. no noises or anything yet.

 

03 evo 8 almost 78000 with tons of launches good and bad. I have done lots of down shifting. I feel that the synchro's are getting tired but besides that its all good. I have a t-case with a rs diff just waiting for the old one to give out but not yet...

 

I made it 71k miles but the tranny was pretty damn F'd up (needed every gear replaced along with synchros, etc). I autocrossed it for a season and a half with a few track days. Original owner did who knows what in the first 30k miles. My friend that tuned me assumed it was a drag car based on the tune on it. I want to add an LSD with Shep service.

 

stock transfer case stock trans act clutch +built motor fp red on pump gas so far 4k miles on engine shifts like butter a little notchy during first couple shifts when cold, but no whine other then whinbro lol.......but told chassis miles of 60k just this week....on 03 open diff too.........like ur girl treat her right n shell show u a good time, or treat her like a hoe and shell abuse the **** out of u...........hahaha

 

stock everything except tires, brakes and air filter. i don't track the car but it sees 100+ during freeway trips. heh heh.

 

That's nice of Mitsubishi. Replacing parts after extreme abuse, I wonder why they have such a bad reputation.

 

Thanks guys cause i drive and race alot of my friends cars and im a shifter i quick shift there cars so i dont break em and with the evo im gonna be rracing it alot so as long as i change the fluid i should be good

 

Hello Everyone,

First post here. My question is this: I am looking at getting a Evo, yet I am concerned with the reliability of the drivetrain. I plan to DD the car and while I may drive it hard now and again I don't plant on launching very often at all. When upgrades and modding are concerned, I plan to do a bit, but keep it stock turbo for a while.

That being said. What model do you think would be best to get? Are there really any differences from a Evo 8 GSR to a EVo 9 GSR? Reliability wise that is.

Also, I see that this Shep fellow rebuilds and reinforces Transfer-cases. Hypothetically, I buy a 100% working and well taken care of evo. Can I as a precautionary measure get shep to reinforce it so it will never brake (unless my brain melts out my ears)? How much would that run? Is that a stage 1 or 2 on his website? What options for the stages would I want?

Thanks for any help!

still stock here with 57k original miles over 200 launches at the track holding up just fine.

 

2006 Evo 9MR, 51,000 miles, daily driver, tuned at: 350hp with stock trans, clutch and transfer case.
