why do all the Mercedes AMG have automatic then? Also porsche comes with tiptronic and they sell like crazzzzzzzzyyyyyyyyyyyy. I heard if you have so much power it is easy to destroy your clutch - my dad did this with his 911 carerra 4 ->not cheap!!!!!!!

Sounds familiar
I can say I have noticed similar goings ons with my OZ Lancer too. But I can't say that I noticed noise coming from the transmission. 
I noticed that if I drive hard and the temperature is just right outside (temp / humidity, etc..) my engine will have a slight shudder to it. Not random but an actual rythym. When I continue driving the quirk goes away.
I haven't had anything looked into because I just figured it was "new car moans and groans". In other words the car was still adjusting to my driving style. It has been a couple of months now since I heard the engine "shudder". I bought my Lancer in November.
I can't say that I have noticed any noise like you are describing. The dealers description of the cause sounds reasonable up to the point he trys to explain the transmission noise...
There I would wonder too. You might have to be a persistant pain just to get the answer that satisfies you. Are there other Mitsu 
dealers in your area? Surely the warranty would work there too. Good luck... You might even call Mitsubishi if you are THAT dissatisfied with the service you are getting. Me, I would start with the alternate dealer. (I'm sure they wouldn't like to loose business to a competitor)

To avoid destroying ones clutch, they must first learn how to drive.

remeber the 540il of like 96-98? it had a whole .6 seconds quicker 0-60 time in manual than in automatic, part of the reason most people in here prefer manual is because they can control shift points, the major flaw in standard automatics, the new triptronics are actually threating to make manual's scarce, but I still believe every 14 year old boy must be taught on a clutch and short shifter
