Say What? Go on the evo forums and listen to what they say about mitsu waranteeing those things. They have some shady warantee policies. He is far from being alone on the clutch thing. Those things burn the stock clutches left and right, and mistu blames it on the driving, not the product. Tons of people have tried taking legal approaches and nothing has ever come of it. You can't just talk to a manager about it because the clutch warantee denials are coming from the head hancho guys of MMC. If the individual dealer wants to replace it for free, then they're paying for it outta their pocket. They aren't getting reimbursed from MMC though because the head guys have already decided to deny all clutch warantees for the most part. They've even sent scouts to tracks just to get pictures of evo owners racing so they can void any warantees when they come in for warantee work. I love the cars, but they leave you hangin that's for sure.

and also about it depending on how you communicate with the dealer. First off we couldn't just go to another dealer because the next closest one was over 200 miles away. And we new the guys at the dealership very well because we were always there buying shit for our dsm's. We were actually there just to pick up a dipstick for my gst and ended up leaving with a dipstick and an evo. We were in real good with them, but the decision to void the clutch came from much higher up, and they weren't gunna cover the thousand dollar price tag for the work outta their pocket.
