First MR Trans to go...
take all the performance pipes of the car and take it to the dealer... especially since the car still drives you will get it fixed... stick to it and dont take no for an answer... DAM WE ALL WOULD DO THE SAME.... my freind with a new expedition put a supercharger on it and blew the tranny 3 times and had for give him a tranny 3 times.... I love the evo but i dont care about mitsubishi and im not going to give them 8K every time i blow my tranny... its an EVO and the SST is supposed to hold power so F THEM.... and to all the performance shops out there please build something that can take the power... i will HAPPLY spend 8K on a perfomance tranny but i will not pay MITSU 8K for a stock replacement... and i and doing the same to my SST... I will have 320 in the next two months and i do launch the car and even drift with it... like someone said you need to pay to play but not MITSU... i payed 45k for the car and thats all MITSU is getting from me... and i do care about my cars to the point that i wont take my car if i know i wont have a safe parking spot for it... i but only the best parts and only hand wash.... but when i drive it i expect it to hold and do what its ment to do.

"... its an EVO and the SST is supposed to hold power so F THEM...."
Really?!
"and i and doing the same to my SST... I will have 320 in the next two months and i do launch the car and even drift with it... like someone said you need to pay to play but not MITSU..."
MMNA is not responsible for your incompetence.

You bought the car not a car and 2 transmissions.
A sentence ends with one period.
Im curious, Do you have nothing better to do with you're time? It's his car and he can do whatever he wants with it. You obviously dont agree, and thats fine.
To the OP, I would do the same thing if I was in your situation, you buy 40K car only to have it break under mild modification's. Its not like they made the evo after a rally car,lol. They advertise the car like its race car, what do you expect?
Im gald they fixed you're car, and good luck with the gsr, thats if you still plan on getting one...

You say, "They advertise the car like its race car, what do you expect?!" You think race cars are indestructible? They replace parts all the time, but they don't try to return it to stock and take it to the closest dealer to try to save money.
I'm sorry that everyone in this thread seems to feel hard done by. I feel this thread has lost it's first cause which was to warn people how far to push the trans.
I can't see how launching the car and drifting the car is going to help you. You will easily break your transmission and other thing on the car by the sound of it. Good luck, i'm glad you're enjoying your car, but i don't think the MR was made to hold that kind of driving? You are right, you pay to play, but you pay a lot more when your driving habits are irratic.
You can't possibly be serious. It's people like you that make it rediculously hard to get legitimate warranty claims completed.

Check your MAF sensor. There is a recall on it and will cause your tranny to shift funny and cause it to slip. There is a poster that had the same problem. Also don't left foot brake when you are still on the gas it also causes the clutch to slightly disengage causing wear. It is weird but very true. You may not have to do anything to the tranny.

Wow after reading this thread my head is spinning, I guess the average MR owner is more faggy then the GSR. Big deal he got a new tranny, its still under warranty. The dealer makes money for the work. The guys that do the work for the dealer feed their families, the tranny company in germany makes money, employs people. Fedex makes money shipping trannies back and forth. Its a win/win. Without some broken trannies mitsu cant have them built better.

Congratulations, you've fallen into the broken window fallacy.
well of course mitsu get screwed in all of this. They know the evo market is about modding, they themselves sent AMS a MR to get modded. I will do some light modding, I dont have the time to deal with getting a new tranny. Overall I dont think Mitsu will get to many highly abused SST trannies as most guys that want big hp know to go with the GSR.
