well as some of you know we have been working on DJ truma's evo 8 at the shop and well we found an interesting problem with them....such as the transfer case's are crap after having the car for about a week it developed and bad whining from the transfer.... so we striped it down and sure enough it was the ring a pinion gear's....now for you AWD guy's you know this is kinda a hard part to kill the transfer can crap out but 9 times out of 10 the gears are ok...so as we did our reaserch we found this is a very common problem some people in the US having to change there case's 3 time's already!!!! there was a few case's that had to be changed as soon as 2500 mile's....now mitsu. is steping up and changing the case's but not saying they will last.....now what we are thinking of doing is building a new ring and pinion gear setup from hardend tool steel and cryoing....at this point we are trying to how many EVO owner's there are in the area and if there is an interest now it will be a matter of month's befor we can have these ready the price will be in the $1k range but anyway that's just a little bit of info and a head's up for you EVO owner's if you have any question you can just reply back or give a call to the shop the number is in my sig.
thanks and I hope this help's some
