Hello,

Did any of you get grinding problem when shifting from gear 4-5? anyhow just wanna share an experience at Puente Hills Mistu Dealer in california.

I went there on saturday to get an oil change and also inform them about the grinding problem that i had on my evo when shiftin from gear 4-5 and also asked them about the harness recall thingy that I was inform from mitsu dealer in cerritos where i bought my car

anyhow in conclusion, i had to left my car at puente hills mitsu dealer from sat-sun & pick it up on monday.

TO MY SURPRISE, they said that the clutch problem is recall and they are ordering the part for me. I've never know that this problem has been put into the "recall list" anyhow i knew some people get this same problem but get it fix under warranty. Anyhow i got mine on recall as they said.

Maybe they made mistake on this or maybe there really has been a recall on the clutch thingy I dunno but hey worth a try to ask them mitsu dealer to those have this problem rather than just ignoring it.

a doctor ever said to me "if any part of your body gives you a signal as 'feeling pain' means theres something wrong with the part of the body that is giving out the pain feeling and you shouldnt ignore it" what im tryin to say that dont ignore a small problem and thought they are ok if they sound not ok

Hope this could helps to those that has the same problem as me. =)

 

Are you sure they said it was the clutch? Some other peps have had their 5th gear syncro go out on them.

 

How can one find out about recalls? Other than calling the dealership...

 

oh yeah maybe the syncro thingy...all i know that in my paper works from the mitsu dealer says Manual Trans Concern : SOP PARTS and another part says RECALL C0303H SOP SEALANT

I dont know whats that but they told me that they gonna order parts for my transmission.

anyhow if i confuse any of you, I apologize =) just wanna share an experience of mine, thought that'd help someone in my position

 

Can somone that works at Mits check the TSB's ?

I have written on 3 different service tickets, "customer says gears are notchy"........ after test driving car is fine.????? BS.

Thanks

there are no official recalls for evos' there are lots of TSB's though

there is 1 TSBs for clutch on EVO

clutch removal and inspection.
the one for the leaky cylinder is for the lancer.
