2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“While traveling 65 MPH my transfer case on my 2003 Mitsubishi evolution unexplainable began to make a loud whining noise, although only having roughly 13,500 miles. As I pulled the car over I could here that there was a metallic clicking sound coming from the transfer case also. To correct this the transfer case will need to be completely replaced.”

“Just with talking to the dealership for my 2003 Mitsubishi evolution they are telling me mistubishi is doing nothing about the clutch failure problem . They are stating that it's all of us drivers faults. And there appears to be lots of complaints. Clutch is slipping. No failure yet. Nothing has been done yet. Waiting to hear more.”

“I have a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution bought it brand new and my clutch had to be replaced at 3000 miles costing nearly 1500 dollars and would not be covered under warranty by Mitsubishi. It was replaced with a aftermarket clutch I have had no problem with as of yet and it has 17000 miles on it.”

“I bought my 2003 Mitsubishi evo shortly after returning from a tour in iraq in 2006, after a short time of driving the car I noticed a grinding sound coming from the car when I let the clutch out in 1st gear, and now reverse as well. I bought the car under original factory warranty and went as far as to purchase the platnum extended warranty. After replacing thousands of dollars in parts on my car it has come down to the clutch, which is a wear item and not covered. …”

“I've owned my 03 mitsu evolution viii for 1 year and I have put 16,700 miles on the car. The clutch is slipping and it's not covered under warranty. This is ridiculous since it will require 8 hours of labor and a better clutch just to get it where it should have been in the first place. I have done everything with in reason to baby this thing. I just don't understand why it wasn't covered under warranty.”
