Well given that a lot of early Ralliart are having issues, there isn't a chance in hell I'd buy one used.

Fair enough. There's only 3 with failures off evom but that's just a narrow cross section of all owners....

Part of the problem with first-year models combined with new tech...

VW had a rash of catastrophic DSG failures that took a couple of years to surface (resulting in the 10 year warranty on the transmission now)

I liken me buying cars with twin clutch gearboxes to how I bought one of the first p4's that used rambus RAM lol...

imagine how people get the fear of God when they're trying to buy an used Evo, praying that it's not been abused to the core.... now imagine someone trying to buy an used Ralliart hoping the tranny is going to last a week

I wouldn't buy a used Evo or STI either.

I don't blame Amby. I wouldn't either unless i'm turning it into a track car.

In Australia you wouldnt consider second hand they give us 5/10 year warranty form mitsubishi 130000/150000 and 5 year full road sise assits. With a deal like that why buy secondhand. Unless its very early on inito the warranty

So, what did we learn today?

1). There is a difference between the Ralliart transmission and the MR transmission. Just because one can hold X amount of power does not mean that the other can. PERIOD.

2). If you want to upgrade your car, which I am guessing that you all do, UPGRADE THE TRANSMISSION. There are many aftermarket coolers out there. That should help with the smaller twin-clutch disks. Also, if you plan to upgrade the turbocharger, before you buy the FP-Red, you should perhaps consider the SSP clutch-packs. Personally, if I decide to upgrade the stock turbo to the EVO X stock turbo, I am going to look into upgrading the transmission. These things sound like ticking time bombs.

If you don't want to become a statistic, don't be a guinea pig. I would be willing to bet that a year from now, someone will have made sense of this whole debacle. I wouldn't be surprised to see an all-in-one transmission upgrade come out eventually.

had my TC-SST replaced at 18,000 miles and have had the new one in for 20,000 without any problems.

Did you have the mods when you replaced the TC-SST? Was it covered with warranty??

Andfre

Not quite that but do get some 4-5 second delays before reverse kicks in

^i get about a 2 second lag when going into reverse with my GTS w/cvt. i'm upgrading to the RA next year though . also i noticed my car is part mercedes, because if you look on the backside of the tweeter harness it has a mercedes symbol. i'm happier now

bacquerel

lancerdave86
