Well i had my TC replaced about two weeks ago and now its starting to whine again... so i brought it in yesterday... Today mitsubishi gives me a call and tells me that they cant find the problem or they cant hear the noise...the noise in my car starts at a slight whine around 40mph...then goes away...then you hear a grinding around 60...then goes away till 80mph! 80MPH is when its whining so bad you can hear it even with the radio on! well...mitsubishi cant drive my car past 65 so they arent able to hear the incredible whine...so they cant figure out where its coming from...

now here comes the messed up part and lemme know if u guys would go ...i sure did

they called me and told me, dont mod the car just yet cuz its still under warranty. "Keep driving the car till the noise gets louder and more apparent in low speeds, then take it back to us and we can figure it out..." doesnt it put me at a risk if theyre telling me to drive something that might not be working properly? im gonna go pick my car up today...what do i do now? i think im just gonna save my mods money for a down payment on a evo IX...

DISCUSS!

yes...i did give the service advisor that owns an evo a ride in my car yesterday when i brought it in...he was like

 

Tell the service manager to get his **** in the car and you drive it up to 80mph and show him the whining noise. Check the fluid, mine whined like hell right before it seized up due to low/no fluid.

 

OH when i dropped off my car yesterday i gav ehim a test drive! and he was like whoa...thats not normal! and HE DRIVES A DAMN EVO TOO!! well he said...hes not the mechanic...

 

tell them to QUIT PUTTING TRANNY FLUID IN THE FAWKING TRANSFERCASE.

ask them if they will atleast change it to diaqueen for you, then see what happens.

 

they dont have diaqueen...none of the dealers do in SD...
they told me no...we dont have any diaqueen in stock...but we have valvoline and its the same thing ...i was like

 

WTH!!! They need to order some of that stuff pronto ... hell, have them send the TC to TeamRIP or Jon Sheppard if it fails again ...

 

i told them that...they were like, well then dont come back to us for warranty work...

in my head i was like...i only get carwashes from you

 

Thank them for Fu(king up your t-case next time you see them

 

so whats everyones thoughts about having to drive it more till it gets noisier? whats if something locks up and im on the freeway? its so embarassing diriving next to someone on the freeway and they look over and they hear a evo with a supercharger...

 

LOL! no kidding ... well you could tell them that if they can't fix it they need to send it to someone who can ... then (in my fantasy world) when they send it, have teamrip secretly upgrade it ... wishful thinking sigh ...

 

Get the "Keep driving the car..." BS in writing so if/when you get in an accident or the car destroys itself as a result, you've got something to stand on legally.

 

i want to send it to TRE...but is it worth it? or should i just use the money for a down payment on the evo9? im really tired of having no front LSD...i asked the people at Mitsubishi if they knew what an LSD was...and they were like the drug?

 

ooooooooo good one...thanks well my cars been in 4 times to that dealership for warranty work so they know my name already wonder if they washed my car... i havnt washed my car in 1 1/2 months cuz iv brought my car in for warranty work every week

 

Don't drive it, it'll do more damage ... change the fluid in the TC to Diaqueen asap ... I know its a PITA

 

why am i gonna have to spend money out of my wallet for something that i didnt do... and i need this car for as my daily driver...had to wake up 5 in da morning to go to skool at 6 for a class at 8 cuz my sister cant drop me off any other time...
