here it is.03 TC's suck.after taking it to LDL,we open the case up.from what dennis saw,and what i saw were the same thing.the gears were not tight enough in the case,causing the gears to pinion gear,and ring gear to wear out.i think anyone with an 03/04 evo better watch out for this problem,after installing an better clutch.since the ACT i have in my evo can handle a lot power over the stock ones.instead of the clutch going,the next place it could go was the TC.the transfer case in a weak point in are cars.of course any car(not just evos) making 300+ whp,theres going to break anyways.it comes with the modding.theres other evo owners on here that had the same problem like me.so i don't feel like it's a "only this happens to me" type of thing.
as for why it took so long,TRE was the main reason.it didn't help that we shipped it out during the holiday season also.
so,the car is back,and i'm loving it,even as i'm just breaking in the new tc.this tc should not go out.i had tre upgrade the gears with forged steel,and it has an LSD in the front now.
i still would love to go to LDL,and have it be my shop i can turn to we in need of help.dennis is a great guy.i have some more for dennis to work on as soon as i get my new parts in soon
hope this stops the bashing on this thread .it doesn't get much clearer than that.if an las vegas evo owner has a problem with you or LDL,have them talk to me for the truth.i still will tell people to go to LDL,cause i'm happy with how they handled this
rowdy-i know what LDL means to you,but i can't have ya on here talking **** either,and pissing people off.i enjoy talking to you,and love your input/pics.but i'm gonna draw line on your last couple of post,cause it's seems like your the one who keeps bring it up.it's over,i'm happy,and thats it.i want no beef/heat/fighting between you,and my evo friends.if it dosen't stop now it will never stop.i think thats only fair for everyone

As far as I know you are not a moderator on here John so my comments are not for you to judge as being appropriate. While we are talking about appropriate, you seem to forget the bashing in here that LDL took. That's my issue, you seem to forget. Were those comments appropriate? the oil issue? How soon we forget.
I am not some monkey that takes pics for a living, I've been to 7 different countries and have mastered two trades (with certifications), so don't try to write me off as some ricer that drives a primered POS. Both of my last Hondas have went faster than any Evo in Vegas and I can prove it with timeslips.
If your Evo buddies are more important than an individual that can point you in the right direction and help when things go wrong, by all means run to your "evo friends".
Plenty of talk on this forum, go back to listening to it if you want but the truth is these cars have transmission weaknesses and the folks here in Vegas want to blame LDL for your failures.

It sounds like a fun drive.

It looks great, if you had seen the bashing that LDL recieved about 15-20 pages back you would understand.
I've never met you and I know you are new here, I mean no offense to you, it was for the folks that were guilty of bashing.

it wasn't really a bashing at all.you just think that were all gonna bad mouth LDL or something.do you really think someone is going to say "hey!i'm not going to LDL,cause they f*cked up john's TC".i think not. evoguys been around the longest out of all of us.he ain't a noob
rowdy- you need to stop posting about it.if you would like to talk about this my cell # is 335-2155.i'm up now,and so are you.you cross the line here tonight.i thought we were cool,but now i'm not sure.i'm no mod like you said,but i think of myself as a leader when it comes to las vegas evo's.if you keep posting on here like a little b*tch,than we'll have a problem.i'm not liking anything that you have been posting lately,and won't sit here reading your crap about nothing.LDL is a good shop,the only one who is giving it a bad name is you.

anyway, i had a good time in vegas earlier this month, would actually consider moving up there but then my parents, and brother etc. would always be hitting me up for a place to stay, airport etc. only saw 2 evo's though, a red one on the strip, and a white one in a big parking lot when i was on the monorail.
