hey bro ..
that sucks man. Mine is on the way out as well. Before you go spending 2k, let me look at the transfer case. Unfortunately mitsu doesnt offer parts for them. They have some outside company make them. The same company that makes the 3000 gt ones. Those you cant get parts for either. We got one from a crashed car and rebuilt it. It seems they are coming with way too much end play from the dealer, causing premature wear and whining noise. We removed the shim and dropped the center diff down ... re-shimmed the top and that tightened up the end play. That one is going in a cusomers car on monday, so we'll see what happens. He was having the same noises but had already modded his car and couldnt get it warrantied. Worst case we can rip yours apart and see what happend. I know you use your car as a daily so we might be able to swap one out until we figure out what to do with yours. This is all assuming you dont go back to the dealership .. Let me know

You will have to go to mitsubishi the manufacturer and state your claim. I have been through some of the same stuff my engine did not have any oil from the dealership and the engine went out. You will have to deal with manufacturer and take all of your mod stuff off and take it to a different place because you do not feel comfortable with the current dealer ship.
Good luck dont let a holes change your mind on an execellent car, I drove an nsx before and nothing compares to these cars

In the art of the law suit, I've found much more satisfaction in taking the suit to the INDIVIDUAL. It's an amazing thing how quickly a big Corp will leave an employee out in the cold when there name is not on the suit (mis-deeds of the employee unknown to the employer). As you can see, my answer is purely one of retribution vs. the recovery of losses... I'll drain the offender dry no matter win or lose. I've found it makes me feel so much better to be the ****er vs. the ****ie. In a few cases, the problem was magically fixed when the individual received the summons.

I have had nothing but good come from all the dealerships I work with. Most of them are phenominal with their service, attitudes and they realize that they themselves are making $$ off of warranty work for their techs.
