Where in NJ is the car located? Knowing where it is will help us recommend a shop that is close to the car.

He told me he got the work done at ATX, so if I can't be there in person to see the test myself, I rather get second opinion from reputable shop.
What is recommended inspection other than compression and transfer case.

Thank you all

What is there to check on the transfer case besides checking the oil, leaks, and driveshaft slop...Without taking it apart? Nothing I can think of

I would get the Paramus Mitsu dealer do a full PPI. If you wanted a real checklist.

But Ivey would be your best bet for the closeest Evo specialty shop.
