Mine happened at 15K and again 700 miles after they replaced it. I haven't shifted hard since they replaced it the second time so I am not 100% confident that it is fixed yet. I currently have about 2K on the second replacement.

I do know that while mitsubishi was working on the car, they had mentioned that my clutch was fine, which means they had to disassemble it to some point that they could see the clutch/pressure plate.. which likely meant they removed the entire tranny.
