RECALL- Manual trans Evo X's
I think you and I spoke to the same person because she told me the exact same thing.
I sent in the invoice and receipt for the CMC that I paid last year at a Mitsubishi Dealer.
-Got a phone message because there is a problem “of course”.
-I call and get an ignorant & rude lady informing me that they cannot refund anything because the replacement part was aftermarket…LOL it is not!!! after pointing out the OEM part number (2345A028) and that is exactly what I see on the invoice they had to put me on hold for ~10 minutes and come back to say that the new part number is different…of course it is, I have the OLD part number, you know, the defective one, the one that I paid for at the time; the new part number was not available… on hold again… Yes it “appears” to be ok now…
-But there is a new BS issue. It is an issue about the date…what? Why…some random BS about it was done this date the recall that date??? Uhmm what? On hold again…
-Now the date “appears” to be ok but everything needs to be submitted and reviewed…but who is this person that I am wasting my time talking to? They don’t know anything and cannot review or decide anything, but somehow they are finding issues after reviewing the invoice? On hold…
- Nevertheless there is another issue now….they can’t give me the refund until the recall is completed…I have to prove that the recall was done and I have to call again. Also after the recall is done they will “consider” a refund…LOL really???
So what I am guessing is: they will complete the recall…BUT the dealer will scrutinize the car and point out anything aftermarket, you know like lug nuts or a radio or tinted windows…therefore they will deny the refund.
Great job Mitsubishi Motors! I really don’t understand why this company is in trouble…

Just wondering if the failure is a catostrophic thing or if it happens gradually. My clutch is slipping a little and the pedal lets out pretty high. I want to make sure it is the clutch going rather than just the beginning of the CMC failure.
I had mine done last week. My battery was NOT unhooked...unless there is a way to store all my stations and such...or unless my dealership took note and re-programmed all my stations. 5 miles put on the car, no change in my radio station programs, clutch felt..pretty much the same? Sort of made me wary of whether they actually did anything or not...
When mine failed it was a sudden failure. I didn't notice anything abnormal before the failure.

Failure is sudden. No warning.

What you are describing sounds like a clutch that is reaching the end of it's life - at least the disc is.
Because the ability of some Mitsu techs to mess things up has no (known) upper limit, please try the following. While sitting still and idling (obviously), pump the brakes hard. Does this affect the idle? If it does, they may have made a mistake when hooking the booster back up.

Then they probably messed up the hose that connects the brake booster to the intake. Go back to the dealership (if you're a glutton for punishment) or fix it yourself.
You can start by just looking at it. Maybe it will be obvious. One mistake is installing the hose backwards. This can be very dangerous on a car with forced induction.
ps. I love the "your gauges are to blame"; that's classic CYA nonsense
