I would suggest buying a new EVO, don't make any modifications, and give it to the dealer when something goes wrong for warranty work. It will be less hassle for you.

I drove a MS6. Don't get one. After driving an Evo, you will think its slow but the interior is better.

Im very confused right now...and also they said my abs pump overheated

So is it an 03 or an 05? If a mechanic at the dealership said it's ok to drive without the ACD in an 05 because the 03's didn't have it then he's a frickin idiot. Take your car and run away.

Sounds like a shot transfer case. A bad clutch doesn't cause a check engine light. Either bend over for

or learn to turn a wrench yourself and start cruising e-bay for a new transfer case.
