I was at Mitsubishi dealership and they said the reason why evo synchros keep going out is because of our driving habits. LOL. so what there trying to say is that they have no part in this its all on us ! hahah.. i doubt that.. tell me what you guys think about this.

SORRY FOR DOUBLE POST

 

I think that Mitsubishi is going to start re-evaluating it's warranties/coverages very soon.

 

Judging by some of the abusive driving described on this forum, maybe they have a point. But some Evos do have bad synchros.

 

lol.. not just some.. most .

 

i'm sorry, but bad syncro is? gearing timing? how can you tell if your synchros are off?

 

hahaah... I went to the dealer to TRY to get my 5th gear synchro replaced. The service manager told me that you are not supposed to be shifting at red line. You are supposed to be shifting around 4k rpm because higher, the tires will spin... then he starts telling me stories about how professional drivers don't need to change gears without cluth, and on and on and on... i just got lost and ..WTF... Gotta love the serv man.

 

Besides hearing people posting this over and over, I have 50k on my car, still have the original clutch and have had no problems with my transmission. I will pretty much state outright that a majority of the problems people experience with their transmissions is their own doing. There are a few exceptions, but I've seen how people drive these cars, and how many inexperienced drivers get this car as their first manual transmission car, and how many "Seasoned" Manual drivers (who complain but never will admit that they rest their foot on the clutch pedal, and hill hold with the clutch) say the clutch and transmissions are crap.

Considering how many of these people complaining about problems have MODIFIED their cars, I'm also fairly certain their also driving them fairly hard.

 

03 evo no tranny problems. 83k. ...some people just don't know how to drive.

 

just got word from my serv adv he said he looked like there was some synchro mesh or something cause the fluid look like mud. im like WTFF? but the tranny was replaced 3 times b4 i bought the car wish i would`ve known that b4 i got got it..=/

 

you forgot one thing, the people who dont even own an evo, but say they do, and complain just to be cool...

 

Ditto

 

The Mitsu people are saying that we drive the car as it should be driven and they built a car that doesn't withstand the flogging- That's like a manufacturer building a boat and getting mad at people who complain when it sinks in the water

 

^^^+1.. we buy a $33k lancer with cheap plastic interior.. we deserve the warranty

 

Your repair of synchros will be covered if it has not been modified.
You gotta pay to play

 

werd

or rest there hand on the shifter while driving around...
