we need a little more information from you than just "it feels like i have no power", is the engine nocking, hesitating during accel, backfireing, etc? or just slow

Tranny, both diffs, and transfer case. Make sure the dealer uses Mitsu fluids not pensoil or whatever they normally use. Suggestion, do it yourself if your capable. The IX uses specific fluids for the 6 speed tranny. Dont substitute. Also, the oil is very easy to change on a Evo, get the shorty plastic ramps at walmart and do it yourself. I suggest using a new crush washer at least every 2 oil changes if you down want a leaking oil pan.

Yup. Especially when there is an easy way to check for a leak in the intake system in your driveway in about 5 minutes...

Or when its under warrantee and all you gotta do is take it in!
