Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My manual transmission in my lancer evolution started to feel rough around 350 miles i thought in was normal since it was a new car. but around 1700 miles the problem got worse i took it to the attention of the dealer where i purchased it form but the mechanic said it was fine, so i took it home the way it was. i now have 5000 miles and my clutch is all worn out and my dealer refuses to fix the problem even though i have never abused of the car i am still trying to break it in. so i think it does not make since that i would have to change my clutch 20 times before my 100,000 miles. so i don't think the clutch went out under normal wear and tear there has to be something wrong with this car there have been to many complaints about the same problem. *jb
