2008 MITSUBISHI LANCER EVO Complaints

I TOOK IN MY MITSUBISHI LANCER EVO TO LOCAL DEALER FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THIS CAR CURRENTLY HAS 3,300 MILES AND I'M HAVING PROBLEMS IN SHIFTING FROM SECOND GEAR TO THIRD.AT TIMES I NEED TO TAKE CLUTCH PEDAL OUT TWO TO THREE TIMES IN ORDER FOR IT TO ENGAGE. SOME TIMES TRANSMISSION WILL NOT GO INTO REVERSE ALSO. DEALER HAD CAR FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS AND INDICATED ON THEIR WORK ORDER THAT THE CAR HAD NO PROBLEMS WHILE TEST DRIVING? *TR

CLUTCH DISK DRAGGING DURING DISENGAGEMENT, CAUSING HARD SHIFTING AND PREMATURELY WEARING THE TRANSMISSION SYNCHRONIZERS. MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS BROUGHT TO MITUSIBISHI, AND NO FOX OFFERED. *TR

PAINT CHIPPING PREMATURELY ON A NEW CAR. THE VEHICLE STARTED GETTING CHIPS ON THE FINISH JUST AFTER A FEW HUNDRED MILES. THIS HAPPENS ON THE LOWER PASSENGER DOOR AREAS. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVEN OFF ROAD. I BELIEVE THIS IS COMING FROM THE TIRES. *TR

LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER PURCHASING MY NEW 2008 MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION GSR I NOTICED ROCK CHIPS IN THE LOWER REAR CORNERS OF THE REAR DOORS, JUST AHEAD OF THE CLEAR PROTECTIVE FILM ALREADY INSTALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER TO PREVENT PAINT CHIPPING. *TR

THE CAR WILL KICK UP ANY SMALL ROCKS AND CHIP THE REAR DOORS AND SIDE SKIRTS. I HAVE INSTALLED MUD GUARDS, BUT DOES NOT HELP EITHER. *TR

THE GEAR SHIFTS ARE EXTREMELY NOTCHY AND CAUSE FREQUENT GRINDING WHEN SHIFTING TO GEARS 2 AND 3. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF I AM UPSHIFTING OR DOWNSHIFTING. THE PROBLEM IS PRONOUNCED DURING COLD ENGINE CONDITIONS. GRINDING CONTINUES TO HAPPEN EVEN IN WARM CONDITIONS. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY TIMES WHEN THE CAR LOST POWER AND SLOWED DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A ROAD BECAUSE I COULD NOT SHIFT IN TIME DUE TO THE GRINDING. *TR
