It doesn't make the tranny junk its just a negative point. The tranny is still very stout. I like you pound the living **** out of my car and it takes it with a smile.
I worry about the transfer case because so many have blown them out....but I recognize that most of those people probably OVERabuse the car on hard launches. Besides the aftermarket support for the EVO is OUTSTANDING. I can get a build xfer case from TRE and never have to worry about it again.
The aftermarket is one of the reasons I love my EVO. Previous to this I owned a car that could be made fast but when it broke there wasn't any support to upgrade from OEM parts. At least on the EVO if something does crap out you can pretty much upgrade to something that won't allow that to happen again.

terrible dealer service

Thanks all
Thanks all

we are not talking about something big here....they can't even flush brake fluid correctly, or trying to void the warranty for using. DOT4 brake fluid.

Resales value is one of the BEST in its class...
