Tried looking on your site to get the parts, do you not sell them so we can fix on our own, or by our shop? or am I just that retarded to not find them?

Guys, isn't it a relatively good thing that the pins break? Maybe Mitsu wanted it that way, it's kind of like a fuse in a circuit, it's designed to break first so that it does not damage other, more expensive parts. Just a thought, i'm not a mechanic

It would be good if it didn't break anything else in the transmission and would give you an early warning. As it is engineered, the pins will certainly make a hole in the tranny case and drain the oil. Dry transmission will self destruct and you will run the risk of it blocking all the wheels at high speed which may cause a very severe accident.

That's why Mitsu installs a weak clutch. People don't break the pins until after upgrading the clutch.

I've fix one of these and upgraded another. Its sad that it takes out a trans when it happens. The owner didn't even know that he leaked out all his fluid because of the hole and kept driving. Buschur does sell the pins separate so you or your local shop can do the install.
If you're upgrading your clutch, do this at the same time.

that sucks im worried about my evo especially because i have a exeddy twin disc and it does make a weird whining sound now.

So there's absolutely no warning like a certain sound to let us know the pins are going?

if this $hit is happening to stock cars as well Mitsubishi should make a recall regardless of mods. Mitsubishi is crazy charging an a$$ load for the X then all this small crap braking costing us even more money like the fuel pump relay. I completely understand you pay to play but relays or diff pins shouldn't be failing especially on stock cars. Mitsubishi is so shady too they look for any reason to void your warranty..."AAAAAHhhh sir so sorry you put aftermarket air freshener we now void your warranty have nice day with stick up your *** here's your bill bye bye"(Japanese accent :P)

They probably are not on the site, correct. As the very first post says and a few other times in the thread, CALL DAN, 440-839-1900, he is the transmission side of our shop.
