lol...u do know you're posting at 3am in the morning? Not too many people are online at this time...

running your car hard...did you miss 6th badly during a highspeed top end run? You may have damaged your shift gate...i'm sure there is more to your story than "running my car hard tonight"

ok ok i went to the "track" and did some top end runs...but i never missed 6th or any gear for that matter. i stopped on a side street and turned around. put it in reverse and the back in first and drove away to about 35mph. stopped and put the clutch in and went through the gears and 6th got locked out. i was like no way. so i went home and went up on the highway and sure enough no 6th. i cant even cram it into it. it wont go at all

take her to the dealer, seeing that you can go to all gears, i'm pretty sure it's a 6th gear specific issue...hopefully your car is lightly modded

So....your saying your on their 3rd evo. And your tried to top end it. Spun out. Threw it in reverse like gone in 60 seconds. Spin forward. Threw it in 1st and all this happened at 35mph.... that's some awsome driving!

way to exaggerate lol

I didn't read his drives quote, would be a safe assumption to say he's a little rough with his shifting...

Would love for him to chime in as to why he's on his 3rd Evo?

Take it to a reputable transmission shop, ask them to do quick inspection, if it sounds like they are making up something that sounds good, get another opinion from another shop(I'd do this regardless)

Also, don't be scared to go to the dealer even if your car is modded lightly, if you're talking big turbo, coilovers, TBE, intake, BOV, CAMS, piggy back/standalone, Injectors, Manifold...then you might was well save your gas
