You thought that they would replace a clutch? Mitsu dosent even replace things that are commonly replaced under warrenty. Not a chance on the clutch. There are three or four recals out on the '03's. I went to the dealership and inquired, none of them actually have anything to do with how the car runs, most are just stickers and plates they forgot to put on. Get them done at your convience.

Well thats fine if they don't replace it cause I don't have a factory clutch. I just wanted to make sure that (1) it's not replaced with a stock one and (2) I don't want the aftermarket clutch to be blamed for the tranny acting like a piece of ****.

I hope you find a good mitsu dealership to take it to for the work then because more than likely they will, a)whine, bit*h and complain, and then deny warrenty work due to the aftermarket clutch, and b) replace it with a stocker.
