Evo X MR leak
It's not risky, you're not doing anything illegal. You just have to make it clear that the rock wasn't ran over on purpose (because it really wasn't). It's what insurance is for. And in Nevada (and I'm pretty sure most other states) You can take the check from the insurance and do whatever you want with it. You can buy the parts as they are on the estimate, or you can source the needed parts another way.
Example: Like a month after I got my 8, someone broke the wing and messed up the decklid. Bod shop estimate was $2k for repairs. Insurance cut me a check for the $2k estimate, I bought an CF Do-luck style trunk lid for like $800 and pocketed the rest.
In you're case, you'll have a mItsu service center estimate a new trans and install about $15k, then take the car to Kozmic and fix for likely a good bit less, and you'll have a built trans instead of a new stocker.

Same here in TX. Some insurance company only pays to shop if you still have a loan for car. Its your choice to pick a shop.
