they gave me a silver lancer es I am beatin the **** of that car.....

 

I was doing a little radical road racing with the boys last night and developed a whine of unknown origin. The dealer says the fluid in the transfer case is burned and the whole thing must be replaced. I am running all Buschur add ons and should be at about 340 whp and 300 fpt. I have launced it pretty hard a bunch, but has anyone else had this failure? Should this happen and what is the solution to preventing it in the future. Is there a better fluid or is the dealer full of it. I am clueless as this is my first awd. Any input will be appreciated. They said the tranny fluid looks ok. Are these fluids seperate? Help....This is an expensive big ouch if they don't cover any of it...which I cannot imagine they will.

 

yeah....synthetic....after this I am going to redline

 

Well i too had my transfer case swapped and also a tranny and now for a 2nd time my transfer case went bad.....shes in the dealer now getting it swapped AGAIN!


Same whine issue man at about 80 my ears start to ring from the whine

 

I have a twin disc clutch so the dealer voided my warrenty on the drive train. I have to pay. did you have to pay for yours?

 

by the way this is strike 3 for me......but in florida once the vehicle has 3 strikes the manufacturer has a 4 th chance to fix it .......so im waiting to see what they will do .......ive only had my car 4 months and 2 transfer cases isnt cool

 

Do you have any mods?

 

0 mods mine is as stock as they come

 

The dealer took out the tranny today and guess what. I had an independent shop install my twin disc and they put the output shaft in backwards. Thus the bearing was riding on the shaft loose. I was driving a time bomb. The shop is of course denying that they even took the shaft out. the best i can tell they performed a miriacle because I cannot see a way to change the clutch and not pull that shaft. Can anyone confirm that. I am talking about the shaft that goes through the transfer case. When it is in pieces it is a little hard to reassemble in my mind. I will get to speak to the Mitsu mechanic in the morning. I am glad it was not just a plain failure. I was kind of discouraged but I am ready to put her back on the track now.
