the mits part # of the diff is 22630a gear and diff assembly. My car had 10,xxx miles

 

Thanks for info, very helpful. So, 22630A is the diff only or is it the whole thing - no assembly required?
Also the damaged piece of casing is the one on the attached chart, or is it a different part?

 

The 22630a is just the pumpkin, the part number points to it. It has spyder gears and everything in it. The housing Im not sure what number it is from the pic or what comes with it.

 

Mojito , How many miles had your car done before the failure??

I will let you know friday what the diff turns up with as i have one on order.....

If anyone has anymore pictures of the offending parts, damage please can you forward them to me, Im compiling a file to send to .......

Thanks

Mark

 

This highly sucks.

 

My car had only 4500 miles. I have a bunch of pics. Here they are:

 

Here's another one:

 

So, if you are replacing just the diff, what are you going to do with all those metal sahvings? I have them all over my tranny. To clean them up completely, I guess, you need to disassemble the whole thing and clean every part thoroughly. Or am I missing something?

 

Yes mate, complete strip and clean in petrol or alike...

I have new bearins going in aswell, due to scoring on the bearing faces..

Still worked out cheaper than £5500+ v.a.t. (@15%).......


Thanks for the pictures aswell.

 

New tranny from the States is around $2800 plus shipping and tax. So, you might want to check this out.
Damn! Why everything is so much cheaper in US? I was quoted by the dealer $2200 just for the diff!

 

Can any of my US watchers confirm the price they were given on a complete new transmission from a dealer ????

If they are $2800 then i might have too have one??!!

 

cause the more you sell the costs of production are smaller and since the USA is a huge market thats why they have good prices

 

So is that price correct then??

I understand what your saying.....

Would have got a new box shipped if i had of known...????

This may be true for other cars. But coincidentally Russia is the largest market for 2008 Mitsu Lancers (evos are late start and devaluation shortly after - with USD60K+ price tag bad sales and lots of alternatives). This doesn't affect neither the cost of cars, nor cost of parts. Go figure...

 

Still, i bet if you go find numbers the US is the number 1 buyer for evos.
