LOL yea TheSin is the only person with ***** to open the tranny so far, i give him props. I'm pretty sure in the future once tuners learn more about it then we will see some "easier" methods to upgrade it. But who knows when that will be

Tru but like Idrive said, it doesn't apply to all transmission just like a "certain" problem didn't apply to all of a "particular" vehicle. (Not tryin to start anything, i'm jus saying)

Right but if ur really gonna be going pas 350 lb-ft torque then might as well jus gone for an Evo. right AMS is at 370+HP with 300 lb ft @ the wheels running 12's i think that sufficient enough for the RA. Especially with the TC-SST.

So i was able to bring in my Ralliart into with the dealer for my service engine light being on.... they did a scan and found that 5th and 6th gear were locking up. After 2 days of the mitsu engineers goin over the printouts and the statements from me. They decided to send new trans out. Hopefully this cures the
problem.
problem.

P.S.- You're making me wish I would have bought something other than a Mitsubishi. This has been my first and maybe my last after all the **** I've gone through with the dealer and now a possible candy *** transmission

Has anyone had the chance to stop for a moment and ask the OP his driving methods?
It's not always the tranny's fault; I know the first tranny that blew on the RA (that I know of... round here) was not the tranny's fault (but thats another subject);
Not to point any fingers at Lancerdave (the OP) but he only mentioned what happened with the tranny after 23,000 miles, he didn't say if he was soft or harsh on it.
