Alright heres the deal... i went to 
this morning and dropped my car off. I described the chattering clinking sound to them. They said that they would gimme a call in a few hours. 2 1/2 Hours later they called and were all "Yes we've tested your Lancer and hooked it up to the computer and everything seems to be just fine and running normal." I was like no way dood your kidding. So I went back there to check it out. We started the car up and i heard it... the technician didn't really hear anything until i gave it a small rev up to 1.5 grand. Shoulda seen his eyes? Right after that they took that thing right back in the garage and got down to buisness. So now I'm driving a nice Plymouth Neon compliments of ... this thing is crap... who buys neons? anyhow... i'm not paying for it and i'm still going places... so i won't complain. I'm just waiting now for that phone call "Sir you car has been fixed and ready to go." we'll see...

Mitsu Clutches sucks - same problem again
I have the same problem with my OZ clutch. Just went recently to a dealer and they said this is not covered and I have to pay $1275 to replace the clutch, plate, and bearing.... 
The same thing was happening to my Eclipse GSX. I replaced the clutch and after 14,000 miles same sh*T happened. Got a heavy duty one and never had this problem again. I am going to do the same to my OZ now, I am sick and tired of Mitsu Dealers...they are trying to make a buck on you all the time..... 
, but not on me...I want to try RoadRace's 2200lbs plate and clutch. I just need to find out if they got throw-out bearing to go with the set.
Anyway...we should all start complaining to BBB about Mitsu dealers, because they are a big rippers...Who's with me?

Just think how I feel I bought a brand new clutch for my exedy twin HD and burned it up with like five runs on the strip and found out I need to up grade to the triple disc. If I would of known that I would of just put that money from the new clutch disc to a whole new clutch kit.
