1000 miles and my evo is in the dealer with them reporting they found a ton of metal in the trans oil and casing...my question is what now on a car a week old......what would you want Mitsubishi to do? It has had very light use and I have been babying the thing....obviously a fault from new

They need to replace, not fix. It's obvious something went wrong there.

Thanks I need to mark the casing or grab the numbers or something

Probably a manufacturing defect. Some people get all the luck, eh? Sorry to hear that.

yeah...make sure they don' tjust try to fix it ..... mark it or something.

I am now worried about the front diff ect....does the center diff run off the trans oil? does the front diff run off the trans oil?

I'd demand a new one.

A new car?

I thought I was the only one! Dealer said Mitsu has never heard of bad trans in evo. Mine only had 380 miles when it started whining. I hadn't thought that the front diff might share the same oil and shavings. They want to just replace the bearings.

I guess I loose the best break in method bet proven not to work!!!

That was me with the diff noise. I get it when downshifting at higher RPMS. A grinding noise almost. But only when I let up off the gas Winding down from say 6k to 3k it makes a loud grinding noise then stops after 3k back down to 0.
