wow havent seen an evo with 140k miles yet lol

 

Biggest, most common problem? Kids buying used, beat Evos, not having the funds to make them whole, and then claiming a lack of reliability

 

lol ha ha yes thats true

 

yes the 4g63 is claimed to be ultra reliable if maintained

 

does this apply to all year evos? or are for example the evo 9's a bit better/stronger with the tranny/t-case etc?

 

agreed ^^

 

The 5 speed has been reported to be stronger then the 6speed MR versions. From what im told the 4th gear the 6speeds, tends to heat up really bad and is the weakest gear. The 5 speeds can handle more Torque.

 

The fourth gear problems in the 6 speed seem to be heat related, road race conditions create a lot of heat and fourth can't handle it. If the car is maintained well and you pay attention to the fluids there shouldn't be a problem. Abuse and bad shifting usually cause failures. Blame it on the not behind the wheel, not the car.

 

t case and clutch on the 5 speed............................just change the fluids and good to go.

 

I have not had any real issues yet thankfully. But I think I will need some tranny work soon.
