Question
Hi Mr. Expert,
I have a 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport 4x4 3.5L engine and would like to replace the "freewheel clutch solenoid valve" MR263723. I tried looking up in a google search and I have found no online store that has it. Any ideas on what online store I can get it? Thanks in advance for your answer and have a great day!

Answer
    I'm afraid that little goody is going to have to come from Mitsubishi.  There may be a Mitsu dealer or two that sells parts online, but most manufacturers discourage the practice.  They give their dealers exclusive license to dispense parts over a certain area and don't want to foster competition amongst them.  If you are planning on being a Mitsubishi owner for a while then you need a good working relationship with the local dealer, anyway.
