^ changing tranny fluid this week, i dont have the time for dealers to waste my time. I am done with mitsu. I put the mods that have been sitting in my garage on the same day i called a bunch of dealers and got the same BS "i dont want to deal with it" attitude from them all. Day later i went to ivey and got it tuned. The car only grinds every once in a while when i shift fast. With the trans fluid changed, a nice warm up, and not doing anything crazy the car is perfect. If it gets worse, it will get pulled to be built. As of now, the car is fine

It's threads like these that I have decided I won't ever buy a new Mitsubishi product. I've read about this through many sites... Mitsubishi is supposedly considered dishonorable in Japan, which is a big deal I guess. Supposedly this is why... not backing warranties.
If you can't warrant it, then DON'T TELL US we have a warranty. It shocks me that a company can get away with this. Isn't it considered false advertising?
I think this evo is my last
i will own. Sad... I would have liked to pick up a X... but not with crap like this.

^ i am going to swap trans fluid, diff bushing, shifter bushing, and some sort of mount (need to research more first) to try to lesson it. Once again, i am just **** about my car... if you were to drive it, absolutely nothing is wrong with it. even if u were to "get on it" .... however, if u were going ***** to the wall u can grind second every once in a while. This IMO is unacceptable so i took it to the dealer right away. I obviously dramatized the issue with the dealership because no one is going to give a young guy the time of day if they walk in and say an issue with there car is happening every 2 weeks. I wanted to drive the car with the tech, and i did, which got my no where. After speaking to corp which also got me no where i called a few more dealerships who gave me the same attitude as the first. At this point i said F*CK IT and will enjoy the car. I will just have to shift second in a more natured manner.

It's unbelievable how a dealership can go out of it's way to try a make an extra $$. Sucks that this happened, but good to hear that you moved on and it didn't stop ou from doing what you wanted to do.

I didn't have that issue at brad benson in jersey.....soon as i got that grind 4th to 5th they warrantied it, even offered to throw a clutch in cheap if i bought it at that time.....there was a TSB on it, but idk about 1st to 2nd on 06's...
I did goto global when i was mitsu shoppin and they seemed bootleg, not a real mitsu dealer..good luck

With the motor mount, your car will shift much smoother and shifting at redline will be much easier
Altering your driving style/habits may also help the problem

Funny enough a couple days ago I went to Schaumburg Mitsubishi to pick up a head gasket and while I was in there, one of the service reps. were ripping a woman off. They replaced one tie-rod on her eclipse and wanted $600! She repeatedly said that the service manager at Bigger's Mitsubishi (Keith) said it would only cost $200. The service rep. wouldn't budge on his price. The woman kept stating how Keith lied to her. I hope Keith is reading this because he is a complete f*****! He told me a while back that he was watching me on the forums?! I was like.......alright *********!
As for your issue my friend, call the resolution department and speak to the District Manager too! Hopefully things will work out!
