Well, when there's an OE seal that's missing, chances are pretty high you'll find plenty of things you weren't expecting.

Well just for shits I asked for a parts quote for a new trans and transfer case.
10812$ for the transmission and 3619$ for the transfer case. Ridiculous to say the least.

I'm in the middle of disassembly of the transmission. I need a special spanner wrench to remove the clutch assembly.

Wat? Mind blown. I would expect that for a Ferrari transmission, not a Mitsu.

Holy shit! Thats about 90% of the car's retail price.

I don't know how you feel about used parts, but on car-part transmissions and transfer cases are $1000-$1500 depending on mileage/condition.

I recommend that you still write Mitsubishi North America a letter with pictures and description of this issue. This is a major miss with their manufacturing process, your evidence demonstrates that it is clearly insufficient. Keep it positive; include your VIN and other purchase information. Also demonstrate your brand loyalty, ask if they are willing to do something for you. I would state that your car is outside of their warranty. However, you still have expectations that this issue is unacceptable even if the car is outside of warranty. Under correct MFG processes of having that O-ring it would not have happened in the first place.
