The lady puts me on hold and comes back with the following:

I am sorry to inform you that you no longer have ANY WARRANTY what so ever! Eh???? If the car leaves US soil at any time, your warranty is VOID. Unless you take it to Canada (what?). I asked the lady are you sure you don't mean any warranty COVERAGE? She puts me back on hold. She picks back up and said, No, your warranty is now void.

I totally don't know what to do at this point. Every Military member that gets stationed overseas and takes their Mitsu car with them is in for a big surprise. I honestly cant see how this is even remotely legal. So basically I just screwed myself by calling them.

I am going to base legal to see if I have any means of recourse. I cant believe I now now have a 30k paper weight if anything big goes wrong.

Way to support your US Military customers, Mitsubishi.

Just as a reference, Subaru told me I wouldn't have any warranty coverage while we where stationed here but our warranty would resume once we PCS'd back to the USA.
What kind of situation is the grind in the 5th gear? Speed? High rev?

Yea, but people had their warranties voided when they would come in for a damn oil change, and unrelated claims too. is known to void your warranty even if you're coming in to buy some accessories

I get warranty work in Canada if needed. Though I don't feel very comfortable with the thought of taking my car in for service.

Anytime you shift the car faster than you would if you had a full cup of coffee with no lid in the cup holder. Seriously, you have to super granny it to avoid grinding. If you take it out of 5th into neutral and try to put it back in 5th, it sounds like the tranny is going to explode.

All depends on the dealership. Even with my Twin Disc and old mods in my sig Ive gotten warranty work several times including my 3rd and 4th gear syncros replaced.

Good luck with your warranty. If it turns out you ARE screwed, and have no warranty, it will be time to change your EvoM name, haha
