I hope you aren't confusing my response to 'old 90s eclipse dash parts in the Mirage' with your current problem! Sorry for any confusion.
Look, I wish you well, and that there was something I could do to help. If anything, I suggest not waiting for the end of warranty to address problems.
Best wishes.

Look forward to writing the post in a few weeks, saying it's actually done. A relief anyway, the small fish wins

My Mirage is having the new starter, flywheel installed today. Right now. Thank goodness. it's all resolved. And it went from $500 out of pocket to $300, so it shows the total schwarmy-ness of my Dealer.
Thanks to all who helped!!!, especially sending me the technical bulletin ---that is literally what is being done to my Mirage.
I loved when they said "We should have fixed it back in 2014" - ya smarty pants.
Here's a photo of my rental for the weekend, a 2017 Mitsubishi Sportback. Compared to this fully-loaded car, my Mirage is bereft of options! The Sportback is fast, and smooth, but terrible back window visibility. A "Limited edition", so it's one of the last Lancer's brought to N. America.
Thanks again all! Great to know online forums can actually save someone money.

Yea as I expected, something else has gone wrong.
I won't have my Mirage back home til Tuesday morning at the earliest, so I might just keep the fancy rental car (Lancer Sportback '17) til Friday, or Tueday.
So looking back at my starter problem, and now they don't have any clips or something they lost the clips or don't have new ones, something is on order.
Like right now the car is in the dealer's shop.. not sure my opinion on new spark plugs thoughts? The mechanic is fine bu the one guy doesn't seem to jive but maybe its a bad situation. Fly wheel is power train buddy, the one new guy not sure about him
So what can you do
So I don't have my Mitsubishi Mirage til next Friday possibly, the Lancer SPort is way worse on gas...fast tho... I can tell but I have been driving it fast but I drive my Mirage fast too. That's how my old girlfriend drove her Accent Hyundai all the time.

My new starter you can tell will start my Mirage every time now!! and not strand me the odd time or make that huge grinding noise. The dealer says they spent over 3 grand with the free rental and the engine work, (ya right)
Though you can really tell driving the Mirage now the car has been changed/repaired with new parts. Hope to motor on for a long while now without starter issues.
Local Mitsubishi Dealer doesn't really get that much cred from me, they kept on saying they would fix the starter, then wouldn't, then they dropped the price 250 dollars: same deal with their loaner car and courtesy delivery, beefed me, then eventually gave in. On that one too pulling teeth but the delivery guy was friendly, I offered buddy a coffee even or a chance to come inside to do paperwork which is nicer than many would.
