Better than the 6-speed manual in an X FQ-400? (I'm not trolling. This is a real question. I've never even laid eyes on an X FQ-400, so I have no idea - I live in Iowa, for Pete's sake - but I've seen write-ups that say it's the best Mitsu tranny evah!)

My car wont be coming out until end of march, possibly april. Honestly, they feel a little more refined than an evo 8 or 9. If it means anything to you I bought my 2011 without ever even driving a X beforehand. I will never sell that car

I'd be willing to take you for a ride/ let you test drive it in the spring.

If you're breaking any drivetrain components on a bolt-on daily driver you should revise the way you drive.

This.

Visit jacks transmission page and see what they have to say about the X transmission. Spoiler...they reiterate that it is the best transmission Mitsu has had to date.
