I bought mine new and have just over 60K miles and no issues. I serviced the SST @ 45k with FFL-2 fluid and factory filter. My mods are only the GST map, boost pill, and Evo X BOV. I do 90% hwy driving, so I'm usually keep it in manual/normal.

2011 RA / 51,000k mi. Mods include Evo X IC & BOV, GST boost-pill & base maps, and DIY short ram intake. Never been to the track, however i do drive spiritly at times. This is my DD so I need this car to last. Most of the time I'm on the highway in normal auto/manual mode.
I've gotten the occasional 1st gear slippage that some have claimed while coming off the line. Once in a while, when decelerating on normal auto, I get a really loud knock and jerk when the tranny downshifts hard from 3rd to 2nd. I have no idea what is causing this so if anyone can shed some light on it, I'd appreciate it.
I've never flushed the SST yet, but I just ordered the fluid and filter and will change at 60k as suggested in the service manual. Although others have suggested changing it sooner, I'm mostly cruising on the highway at 6th so I'm in no rush changing the fluid. Although, I'm hoping these issues that pop up from time to time would resolve after I flush the tranny.
Other than the occasional hiccups, no major issues to report.

Yeah I agree you should do it every 30k. Stop and go commuting would put you into the severe conditions intervals, not normal. unless your always smooth sailing to work everyday.. in that case LUCKY!

Just thought I'd give a bit of an update on my now almost 104k (Km's) tranny. Just changed my fluid and filter and where there was slight slipping before, it now shifts really crisp. Even normal mode has a healthy snap that wasn't there before.

75K miles (see below for mods)
Occasional SES for P183D. Each time I just reset the SES and good-to-go/no issues...
It seems to happen more during colder weather...
Fluid changed at 60K per manual. It looked good (not like some of the mud i have seen other people drain out :O )
I use sport/manual when i drive (90% of miles) and Lovely Bride uses normal/auto (other 10% of useage).

Seems to be a trend with the 2009-2010 RA guys. Each time I see someone who has their clutches go out it is usually someone who had a car from this year. Makes me wonder what Mitsubishi changed for the newer models.
I know a few people who their stock clutches lasted longer than 67k and they abuse the hell out of their car. Has to be a quality issue with the older models for sure.
