Heres the situation, I had my friend pick my car up tonight and he was driving it for maybe 30 miles he started hearing this loud whining noise, he thought the wheels locked up, then he heard a clunkin noise, and it didn;t want to move but after he gave it a lil more gas it drove fine. He said it was the transfer case might be going out, Heres the thing I got the clutch replaced about 2 months ago ACT organic clutch with fydanza flywheel, The clutch and flywheel was installed by a mitsubishi dealer. My question is since the dealer installed the clutch will they still warranty the car and replace the Transfer case??? The car is bone stock except for the clutch and C-west bodykit.. My car is an 05 Evo

 

someone has to know!!

 

They will not. I asked a dealer that exact question not too long ago, sorry.

 

i don't, however, think it's the transfer case. only 03-04 evo has open front differential that is too weak for hard launching and can break from abuse. 05+ evo has torsen front diff which is stronger and i have not seen any posts about it going out for no reason, including abuse. it is possible that something is not adjusted properly with the clutch or throwout bearing. i'm not experienced enough with that to tell you for sure. but it might just be that and not the t-case.

 

I had the ACT clutch and prolite flywheel installed.
after broke in. When I shift to 3 or 4 th gear, specially 4th.
I push up to like 5K-6K RPM and let the Gas pedal go. It make loud granding
noise. whinning noise. I dont know how to say it. but it is so anoying.
anybody know what happened? any suggestions?
thanks

 

u need to install the extended clutch release rod from this thread https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...ght=clutch+rod
that should do the trick.

 

I had my TC replaced under warranty by a Mitsu dealership at 60K even though my RPS clutch was not installed by them. I think it depends what dealership you go to!
Good luck!

 

That is amazing! 60,000 miles? Do you own the dealership?

 

No! And I don't even know the guy that helped me out! Belive me, there are good people out there! I found out after wards that he owns a DSM with 480whp and does the ocasional drag racing events in the area!

 

It all depends on how easy going your tech guy and your district rep are. When you take it to the dealer, you must assert yourself as a mature person.

Obviously, the only problem is, your clutch is aftermarket, I would at least take it back to the same dealer that installed it for you...

here's my t-case warrenty situation...not 100% related but might be an interesting read, in general, I didn't get hassled:

thanks for the info guys my friend is taking it to the dealership today because I can;t do it since I', over seas

 

So the Transfer case is not a wear item.. So it should be cover under the warranty. When I took in mycar for the burnt out clutch at 4000 miles they would not replace it because They said it was a wear item so I bought the ACT and flywheel and they installed it. So hopefully the won't give me any problems..

 

The clutch has a one year or 12K warranty, whichever comes first. I went there at 17K when mine let me down. That's how I found out.
Good luck.

 

5 bucks says wrong tc fluid in there. dealer has done it a hundred times. An i have won this bet a bunch of times. Same symptoms as everyone else and same milage after clutch install.
check this happens all the time.
tc issue

 

yeah man, I'm scared the wrong fluid problems....I pick up my Evo tomorrow for the fixed T-case. I asked 3 times before the work whether he had Mitsu. Diaqueen..and the head mechanic said yes he did. I even offered him my diaqueen if he didn't have any.

So what I'm going to do tomorrow is this...I'm going to go take my can of Diaqueen with me when I pick up my car and ask him 1 more time whether he used this exact fluid..if he had any heisitation, I'm going to offer for him to use my fluid and change the t-case fluid on the spot...
