"clunk" sound when shifting from 1st gear to 2nd.. What can this be??
The car is and Evo 9 MR (6 speed) and when I shift from 1st to 2nd gear, it feels like something is in the way and when I shift through that it makes a clunk sound.. Doesn't do that with other shifts. Just from first to second. What can this be? I've read that it sometimes does that when the car is cold but when it's pretty warmed up it still does that.. Is this normal? Thanks

1. What do you mean "pretty warmed up"? Does it do it all the time, or only when its cold?
2. Have you taken your console out and looked at the linkages?
3. Are you using factory stuff for that area? Like bushings etc?

I haven't looked at the linkages and everything is from factory. Even if the car is warmed up ( that gauge that shows the C on bottom and H on top, the arrow is around half way up). I let it idle and warm up and drive it around and it continued to do that... I'm just afraid that something might be wrong or is this normal? It's just the gear change to 2ns gear to 1st. Other gears work great.

Honestly, noone really can gives you an answer that is normal or not. You just gotta guess.
If you worry, try take it to local EVO shop and ask them to look at it for you. I've been read many EVO 9 6spd owners complain about their shifting isn't smooth as 5spd. And yes, my 6spds isn't smooth as my buddy's 5spds.

What do you mean by "it locks me out"? Do you mean that it just won't let you get into the gear? If yes then that is similar to what it does to me... I gotta "fight" through that to get into 2nd gear. It's also at around >3k rpm. So I'm assuming it's normal??

As I told you in the post to which you responded above, 5-15 minutes after the water is up to temp, depending.
