Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!

I'm almost at 30k on mine though...i am guessing it would've happened by now if it wasn't right.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!

Most likely. You're definitely due for a fluid change though. Mitsu's interval is 30k normal and 15k severe.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!

So they would've covered this under warranty if it needed it? Or if it still will need it? (which hopefully it won't)

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!

Mitsubishi FTL ! Don Herring FTW ! Thats great news for you, Stopping the car and having it towed likely saved you from further damage from heat expansion. Awesome!

If i only I could say the same good things about our dealership here in town. Fuck Brookdale.. you bunch of assholes!
Whew ..feel much better.

I definitely have to agree; so far they've been great regarding warranty and mods. I hope the car is fine as they claim and I have no further issues to deal with.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!

So transfer cases howl and whine when fluid comes out? That is odd...

So nothing was replaced as well? Im guessing you just stopped the car because of the noise?

Yes, it appears so.

Odd indeed, but they have test-driven it and say it's making no abnormal noises. I will test-drive to confirm before taking it home. It is good knowing everything was documented (including the factory drain/fill plugs being untouched since the factory) in case something occurs down the road...at least these things have 60k mile warranties.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!

I just got home and the car seems fine. Any drivetrain noise it's making I would say is ordinary for an Evo with driveshaft and rear diff bushings. Don did reconfirm that everything has been documented and Mitsu corporate has been notified just in case something occurs later on.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!

All the guys at Don Herring asked me about mod-wise was to make sure I was still on the stock clutch, they said as long as the clutch was stock then it wouldn't be a problem.

Just a small detail I've been wanting since I bought the car since my IX had it too.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!

My coated PPI Extreme ported exhaust manifold from SPC in Arlington, TX is done! Should be going on this Saturday...I plan to get the initial pre-manifold baseline dyno done on Friday.
