Nothing wrong with that...but there are a couple of challenges to consider in this case...
#1: A Mitsubishi-specific scan tool may be required for an in-depth diagnosis. They may need to see data from multiple modules...including the transmission. A private shop may be limited here if their scan tool doesn't work well with Mitsubishi products.
#2: If you have a condition that a technician can't easily duplicate, they are not going to spend a lot of time trying to find it. That's not how a tech gets paid. He might get paid 45 minutes of time to diagnose the problem (probably more like 30). So he drives the car and it's normal. He pulls the codes...but there aren't any. Well...45 minutes have passed and he isn't getting paid anymore. So you put "unable to verify customer concern" on the work order and you get on to the next job so you can keep getting paid.
It would be easier to get a first/second opinion if the condition could be easily duplicated first.
