my dealer parts guy just called back....i'm going in saturday. Supposedly not all cars have this problem, they are just going to do an inspection that takes about 10 mins, if they notice that the seal is bad or anything has started to corode, then they order the parts and you have to come back to get it fixed, not really a big deal. Hopefully mine is ok, i don't want those dealers poking around in my car!

of course i'm going to get flamed for this one...
I believe the clutch is fine, dumping the thing will kill it, and kill it quick. Feathering is different. Not only that but the way you shift can cause premature wear. I believe many of the people with the clutch issue have it because of something like that, not because it's a junk clutch. If you go buy a honda civic with a clutch that should last 80000 miles and do 7k drops, that **** will be gone in a week....now imagine when you do that and the wheels don't spin....it's even worse. If you plan on keeping the stock clutch you have to shift respectfully.

It's kind of amusing that only 25% of the posts on this topic are actually related to this recall. The rest are about the clutch.
I have an appointment on Friday, thanks for the heads up!

As for the recall... whoever has it done let us know what exactly the dealership did to fix it, and post a pic or two.
I am not taking mine in due to the mods on the car, including the spliced in SAFC, but am curious as to what exactly is getting fixed.

I called this morning and the service dept. at my dealer didn't know what I was talking about so I called Mitsu and got the # from them.

WTF??? Is this post suppose to be about the wiring harness or the freakin clutch. If it's the clutch, post somewhere else. I am trying to find out info on the real recall!!! Quit freakin hyjacking the post!
