I can't remember if it was posted on this forum or the evoxforums.com

edit: here it is

Hmm, That'll suck really bad for Evo X owners....I bet that trannsmission will be very expensive and the repair will be very long and painful.

Lol, I highly doubt your stealership is clueless....They tell you they are, They get books and panthlets on what's bound to break and whats not likely to break and which would cost more to replace or fix. So they just tell you they have no clue other than telling you if you buy that car and you screw up that transmission you'll be paying half of what you paid for your car, LMAO!

Still no brochures in my area but I wouldn't mind someone .pdf-ing a brochure or pointing me in the direction of one. And an owners manual while you're at it.

My techs went to EVO X school this week in So Cal. The SST is completely encapsulated. There is no way to work on it, only replace it. They wouldnt even give the techs schematics of the tranny. Truthfully, I am a little worried.
