I have only heard of one case where someone used that to get their warranty off of "blacklisted" status and I am sure it was a pain.

When the clutch pedal is pushed in it goes away. T/c wont whine if the car isnt moving.

Just my thoughts for ya since I cant actually here the car.
Good thought, I was thinking the exact same thing because the noise began to occur after the rebuilt my transmission under warranty. The transmission was replaced after that (they thought it was the input shaft as well), but it did not solve the issue.

wrong...my motor grenaded twice...fixed twice!! second time whole new one...Mitsu agreed to giveme a whole new car, but then decided they had done enough and would just replace motor since car was modded.......then I got the hell outta Mitsu's BS and Evo SOLD!! I sure do miss my BEAST tho.....

I would contact a lawyer to at least write you up a letter saying that if they plan on not warrantying an obvious issue because they are afraid of the lemon law then that is going to get them a lawsuit. They'll change their tune.


Brilliant!

lucky for you that now they've fixed it 3 times. If the noise persists you have a good Lemon Law case.

I haven't because the dealership has been attempting to fix it. I wanted to give them a chance, but now I have a couple of options.

A) I claim Lemon Law. However, I have concerns that this is NOT a quick process and I am not sure what I would get for my car.

B) Have independent mechanics diagnose the problems (verifying it is the transfer case) and bring it to Mitsubishi via arbitration in hopes that they fix it.
