Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Since i have had my 2003 mitsubishi lancer evolution viii i have had 4 problems related to the drivetrain. first at 1300 miles, my clutch went out. it was not warranted even though the mitsubishi warranty said 12000 miles or 12 months. then again at about 14000 miles the clutch failed again, and it was still not a warranty problem. finally at about 30,000 miles around the middle of february this year the center differential blew, causing the entire transmission to fail. fortunately that was warranted, although i still had to pay for a third clutch. i was with out my car for over a month while i had to wait for the dealership to find a transmission to replace mine. *jb
