Ok here is the deal. When i shift from 1st to 2nd about 70% of the time i get a loud clunk sound when i put the clutch in.Second thing is that when also shifting in the same gears when i put the clutch in to shift to second the gear feels like it wants to pop back out when i engage the clutch, i can feel it also in my hand when i shift. My only guess is that the cable linkage might be out of place. I put it in reverse and back to first gear and shift and it does not do it but mins later it does it again.The weird thing is that it does not do it when shifting form 1st to 2nd when turning in a curve only does it on a straight line when driving. Anyone have the same isssue? Need some help.Thanks

 

clunking is normal.....same noise you get when throwing it into reverse right? Trans not aligned, thats all. Second one, dont know about that one.bad syncro?

 

IT goes in fine, it doesnt grind at all but it feels like it wants to sometimes.

 

try getting the B&M short shifter? I don't know if it'll help your problem though. I think the Evo shifting is just kind of... not too precise

 

I just installed my B&M Short Shifter and bushings kit. It feels awesome and you definitely notice a difference in shifting.

However, I'm having the same problem you're having, Evil, shifting into 1st gear. It doesn't engage unless I firmly hold the shifter at 1st gear. If I just shift and let go and release the clutch, it'll pop out and have that gear-grinding noise; and yes, I feel it pop out in my hand also if I don't hold it firmly as well.

If anyone has any ideas about what could be wrong, please let me know. I'm sure the installation was correct. Should I bring it to my dealer ? Any advice is appreciated.

 

Can anyone help with my problem? Anyone with the same issue? This shifting from 1st to 2nd is drving me crazy and its getting worse. Anyone????????????

 

Dude I have the same problem! I have no idea why it does this, when i shift coming out of 1st into 2nd it's a loud clunk that sounds like it was popping itself out of gear. It doesn't happen to me as much as yours it sounds like but it is annoying, I would love to find out what it is. I wish i had more info!

 

ok im taking my car in this week to see what the hell is wrong with the problem. its getting worse and worse, when i shift from first to second when it pops then the other gears seem not to shift smoothly. It feels like something is not alligned properly, dont know if its the clutch because it feels like it wants to pop out when i put the clutch in. Im thinking maybe the linkage?? Need some advice!!!

 

Can anyone please tell me whats wrong before i take it in? Im guessing maybe its the clutch b/c the gear feels like it wants to pop when i put in the clutch to shift from 1st to 2nd. ANYONE?????????????????

 

i used to get those big clunkers... all the time from first to second and very seldom from 2nd ro 3rd... was my driving habits. you're shifting your weight too early or in the wrong direction, brother. that's all i have to say.

 

Did it feel like it wanted to pop out? What do you mean im shifting my weight too early?Or the wrong direction? I have only heard of one other person hear so far that has the same issue.

 

it sounds like the same thing i used to experience... basically, you're in first gear... "vrooooom", RPMs go up, you push the clutch in to switch gears and then "DUNK".

does that sound about right?

 

woah... you've got a few problems there... well, that's the only one i could relate to and it was due to the way i was driving. hope it helps and if it didn't, sorry!

 

Well it only happens when i shift in a straight line it doesnt do it when im shifting when im turning.It feels like something is not linening up correctly
