But what the MR does have is the twin-clutch SST which will give you race-like results through "quicker gear shifting with no drop-off in engine power."
Imagine being able to powershift like 10 times faster than a manual. I can certainly see the advantages to that.

Everybody knows that the Mitsu 5spd is strong. The transfer case is well...another issue. But my question is, where is everybody getting the idea that the TC-SST in the X MR weak? Did the tuners already reach the limit of the tranny? The fact that it has two clutches means two times the cost of upgrading, but has anybody reached the limit of the MR SST tranny yet?

Have all of the SST haters in this thread done the carburetor "upgrade" on their EVO? Oh, and the hand choke? And dumped the ACD?
I have never seen a single post from anyone complaining about computer controlled fuel and air mixing on their EVO. If an ECU controlled engine is such a great idea, why would not a computer controlled tranny be at least as equally good an idea?

This is an issue for anyone who wants to modify their car, as the clutches cannot be upgraded and the design doesn't allow for anywhere near as much power handling capacity as a manual transmission. If you aren't a purist and don't care about driver involvement, and you don't plan on raising power levels then this would be a good choice for you. For everyone else, automated manual FTL.

the sst transmission on the MR is amazing. Sister got the silver one today and i just fell in love with it. oh well thats what i get for jumping in early and getting the gsr, instead of waiting for the MR like she did.

Because it's uninvolving and boring. Many pro drivers of cars like these complain that it takes away from the overall experience of what driving a sports car is all about. Aside from that, I think that the main issue is that from a modification point of view, these tranny types are not a good option. Mitsu even says in their training videos about the car that if something is wrong that the entire tranny needs to be replaced because it's a sealed unit and cannot be taken apart.

According to Getrag, 332lbs/tq is the limit.
WTF. Thats like..40 lbs/tq more than stock.
