i just got a Brand spankin new transfer case installed by the dealership. NO CHARGE. the dealer said my car is still under the 100K powertrain warranty.
So i got it changed. Drives like a charm.
All i gotta say is "no matter what it is just give it a try, it wont hurt"

OR, like me, he purchased the car during Mitsu's promo in '04 when they were upgrading the warranties to 5/60 Bumper to bumper and 10/100 powertrain.
I know they ran the promo for a while, but you had to purchase your car during those months to be eligible...I have friends with 03s and 04s that both have it and don't

I've had mine replaced. I know 3 others that have had theirs replaced as well. All 8s, all with peeling clearcoat (on the leading and trailing edges of the wings), I had bubbles in the clearcoat as well.
It was no fight at all for me to get this done, but the car was still in warranty at the time. I also had all 4 Brembos replaced for peeling/fading paint with about 400 miles left on the warranty.
I guess it depends on dealership/district manager, but both cases were really effortless for me.

When I bought my EVO. I had the same problem. In fact, the problem was there BEFORE i bought the car. The guy told me, mitsubishi will cover it.
and they did. I went to the mitsubishi shop and they re-coated the wing for free. I think if you have under 40k miles, they'll do it.

I too had an issue with my wing when I bought it...and to this day, Mitsu won't cover claiming it normal wear and tear and I've tried all the dealerships I can think in Nor Cal. I've given up trying to get anything warrantied through satan....I mean Mitsubishi. I'll just redo the wing myself and in meantime, I have a Rexpeed spoiler on order.
