EVO X 5 Speed failures and solutions
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.
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.

Hopefully the fix works
my pins broke for the 2nd time now and cracked the tranny casing and destroyed the tranny completely and now im left without a warranty and in need of a new tranny or rebuilt if this tranny is even worth or capable of being rebuilt
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)

this is all launching and drag racing. Use the car for what it was intended for (hint: involves turns...)
