Mitsubishi Lancer 2006: Crunching gears
I think you will battle to get any compensation on this, unless you can prove conclusively that the pressure plate is out of specification. The only people who know what the specification for the clamping load, which might be where the problem lies, is Mitsubishi. What makes it difficult in a case like this is that car companies don't warrant clutches, they are considered wear and tear items as Mitsubishi has told you; added to which you have had the clutch replaced by a someone other than a Mitsubishi dealer.
Mitsubishi Lancer 2009: Any issues with driving in sport shift mode?
IF YOU drive normally it won't have any great impact on the life of the transmission or driveline, but if you thrash it you are likely to have an impact. It's the same with the fuel economy, the mode of changing gears won't have any impact, it's the way you drive that could affect consumption. Drive it hard and you will use more fuel, drive it conservatively and you won't.
