Transfer case Teeth are gone

Wow! Not at all what you'd expect to see from DD use!

**cmspaz** · 07-29-2014

Well, when there's an OE seal that's missing, chances are pretty high you'll find plenty of things you weren't expecting.

Well just for shits I asked for a parts quote for a new trans and transfer case.
10812$ for the transmission and 3619$ for the transfer case. Ridiculous to say the least.

I'm in the middle of disassembly of the transmission. I need a special spanner wrench to remove the clutch assembly.

Wat? Mind blown. I would expect that for a Ferrari transmission, not a Mitsu.

Holy shit! Thats about 90% of the car's retail price.

I don't know how you feel about used parts, but on car-part transmissions and transfer cases are $1000-$1500 depending on mileage/condition.

I recommend that you still write Mitsubishi North America a letter with pictures and description of this issue. This is a major miss with their manufacturing process, your evidence demonstrates that it is clearly insufficient. Keep it positive; include your VIN and other purchase information. Also demonstrate your brand loyalty, ask if they are willing to do something for you. I would state that your car is outside of their warranty. However, you still have expectations that this issue is unacceptable even if the car is outside of warranty. Under correct MFG processes of having that O-ring it would not have happened in the first place.

Gross, I drove an SST in a 2014 legacy it was horrible.

Subaru doesn't have a dual-clutch offering. CVT, you're probably thinking of. And yes, they're horrible.

**Kracka** · 08-01-2014

SST is a Mitsubishi dual-clutch transmission, and it is not horrible, especially with tuning. Are you thinking of Subaru's CVT transmission?

turbotalon1g · 08-01-2014

My bad it was CVT. It was disgusting. Sorry I got mixed up.
Good luck getting this figured and thanks for sharing.

**Kracka** · 08-01-2014

CVT transmissions are horrible; the WRX got one too.

blackrosenova400 · 08-18-2014

Transmission is disassembled, waiting to decide how I am going to make repairs.

Parking pawl is ok

Front differential is removed

C3L1CA · 08-18-2014

Holy complicated. Hope you can get it figured out and back on the road relatively cheap.

**Halon** · 08-18-2014

Sorry not a tranny guy, can you point out what broke?

blackrosenova400 · 08-18-2014

The differential is damaged, which you cant actually see the damage in any of the last four pictures. The front differential is the big gear on the top left corner of the second picture, which if you look at the last picture you will see is gone along with 1,3,5 gear cluster.

blackrosenova400 · 08-19-2014

Everywhere I turn with contacting Mitsubishi they have zero interest in the failure and zero interest in helping me. I hope this doesnt happen to anyone else or at least they catch it before there warranty is out, but I dont know how you would as there were no symptoms.

Who would have guessed that...

**Kracka** · 08-19-2014

Typical. That sucks. You'd think they'd at least care enough to want to see pictures of it. Have you talked to the dealership you bought it from? Maybe things need to go up through the service channels?

blackrosenova400 · 08-20-2014

Its ok I give up. I just never want purchase another Mitsubishi again. At least a newer one anyways but thats ok since it appears they are dumping out of the performance market.

I contacted the customer relations department (1888-Mitsu20) as the service manager at Richfield Mitsubishi said he nor his Dealer/Parts service manager will do anything, and told me to call that number. All they told me was they wont do anything either. Where to go from here I dont know.
