I recently saw that an EVO X was entered in the 2009 Nurburgring 24 hour race and that it was sponsored by Getrag, a transmission company. I sent an inquiry about the transmission to Getrag as the information available is very vague. At this point it might be anything from a completely new transmission to a software change.



I just got a reply from Getrag that they are under contract with Mitsubishi to not release that information. What do you guys think it is all about?

 

I'd say a new transfer case or software update??? Exciting nonetheless.

 

if it got a getrag im gonna be pissed

 

why is that? im not familiar with "getrag" so im asking...

it would be cool if mitsu recalled the sst tranny for a stronger one for my hp/tq

 

getrag are some of the smoothest and best transmissions

 

Surprised that you don't know Getrag designed the X Transmission.

They did. And that's why they aren't serviceable for the first year. The information is kept under wraps to fulfill Mitsubishi's contract with Getrag.

 

the MR tranny is a getrag

that car is prolly far from stock.

 

That tow hook looks quite nice.

 

interesting, we need more info on the transmission and the power this car is making.

 

i find something other thing is interesting , that car looks like have two Coilover company sponsorship KW and Bilstein

 

Getrag built the TC-SST; this might just be the upgrade they're talking about that's suppose to have less torque limitation

 

and it has falken and dunlop oh noes they're just stickers. only about 50whp each, relax.

i just hope it has a gearbox THAT DOESN'T !@#$ING GRIND.

 

Falken is a race sponsor and at most races the teams must also adhere sponsor stickers regardless to their own tire choice.

 

Not necessarily , the one that ran in 24 hr Brit car at silverstone was supposedly pretty close to a stock car (at least engine) from what I recall. It was pretty impressive it even finished that race.

 

According to a post about this transmission on another site the only modifications were additional cooling, different gear ratios and shift points. The drivers used full auto mode and not the paddles.
