$69.99 at PepBoys will fix that.

My RA is incredibly smooth after a brand new set of Tires + Balancing + Alignment.
Tech told me these cars are usually way off in the alignment dept

Yah I was gonna say that about if your RA SST goes out... put an MR tranny in there since they probably aren't a lot more money. I'm wondering more about the TCU and the lack of SAYC.

Already eliminated that possiblity, it has been felt with the stock rims/tire and my new winter rims/tires. And the 464km Brand new RA did the exact same thing. Its definitely not tires/alignment related.

Apparently this shake is normal/acceptable. Im not all that happy because its a huge **** off for a new car to have this issue. Furthermore to have the tech say "sorry man it seems like just a driveline vibration" which they deem acceptable.
Normal from factory.

Confirmed, I get it only in manual mode. I wanted to video it, but no sense doing it now.

I've heard the same, part of regular maintenance is to get an alignment. I want to do that after my summers tires wrapped around GSR wheels are on the car.

Factory Alignment = crap. Looks like they are consistent too.

Aparently (as I had always thought) the Ralliart and MR TC-SST's are NOT the same:

http://www.superstreetonline.com/fea...ack/index.html

Read throught the end of Paragraph #2.

I know it has to be the case, otherwise the RA tranny shouldn't be failing with mere stock MR power :-/ (meaning after a reflash and simple bolt-ons).

Damn, mitsu!... I think I'll just buy me an MR Tranny and get an SSP Clutch Upgrade on it right after!

Yeah I don't see why you'd buy the MR transmission only to modify it, that just seems like a waste of money.

ok I admit it, that was redundant and stupid lol... why get a tranny AND tranny upgrade when you can simply get the upgrade? lol

but I thought getting a MR tranny would guarantee me what, hum... another 60,000 miles? I'm assuming that's how long MR TC's will last without issues

That's what they said about fuel injection and aluminum blocks in engines

It's bleeding edge tech right now but it's becoming more common (R&T mentioned Ford is beginning to spec out twin clutch gearboxes for their cars to replace conventional automatics in even entry-level vehicles)
