Where the hell were you when I was getting beat down on the previous page before. LOL

Hehe! Sorry! Sad to see ppl jump on one another in the first place, even worse when they aren't right!

In my case the bearing behind the pinion gear wore out, and did it fast.

What I've interested in is to know if the old non-ACD t-cases are as vulnerable to "death whine" too, I got interested when I read about the 200k miles Evo 8 '03 with stock t-case! I know some Evo 5 & 6 with lots of miles on there t-case without any problems.

the reason you hear these stories mostly from 2nd hand owners is because the first owners beat the car to **** and couldn't drive. then they sell it, and the 2nd guy gets burned. That still has nothing to do with the toughness or quality of the car.

these cars are great, and can take just about anything you throw at them. driver error is what kills them.

my evo has 62k no whine no clutch problems no tranny issues. I just throw some new gear/ tranny fluid once a year. I never dump the clutch and I have 2 step programmed into the ECU.
