Hello everyone,

I have a 2009 Evo X GSR, with 20,000miles on the clock. A few weeks ago I started getting the dreaded 'death whine'. The car sounded supercharged/like an aeroplane. It started instantly after a auto x session.

It was louder in lower gears but I think that is just because the car is quieter at slower speeds but as soon as I touched the throttle you could hear it clearly.

Anyways I took it to my local dealer and they confirmed that I would need a complete new transfer case. Good news is, they replaced it under warranty! I know some of you may not consider this post thread worthy but I am just so happy I am one of the lucky few that got some use out of their Mitsu warranty

edit: car is completely stock so warranty should of held anyway but still, we all know what mitsu are like!

 

Glad to hear it! Mitsu also covered mine under warranty.

 

I don't know the back story on these issues, but what generally causes this?

 

Mine was over-filled from the factory.

where there mods installed/tuned when they looked at it or bone stock? Im curious to know.

 

I was modded & tuned; I hid nothing, dealership knows everything about my car.

 

Was traction control on when you autocross?

 

Nope, had if as off as can be. Held down till beep. Just got the car back yesterday, feels great and all running well! Feels great to have it back.

 

Good to hear that they made it right for you. Sucks that it only lasted 20,000 miles though :/

Getting ready to do the tranny fluid on my car to help with the notchy shifting. Gonna double check the transfer case fluid levels while I'm at it.
