under normal driving the gears go in like butter....real nice and smooth.
but when racing or driving hard(shifting at redline) they are real hard to go in.

However, I am not getting any grating or noises etc. It just refuses to go in unless you let the RPM drop a little and then put it in...and get back on the gas.


What could cause this...Is it a gearbox problem? Or could it be my pressure plate(cause I installed a different one recently) and it's only after that I got the problem.

Thanks

 

need help so

bump

 

bad sychro's, any mitsu dealer should be able to repair this under warranty, there are two tsb's on the sychro's.

 

^thanks..
but would the synchros go just like that?
cause it was fine..and then after the clutch job..it started.
and this guy installed my clutches before...

 

well has he ever installed a pull style clutch, if not you can totally screw one up, they are really different from push types. if he didnt engage the release bearing correctly it might, and i did say might, cause you problem

 

yeah thas the thing..he has done alot of work on evos....
He cant seem to figure out what it is as yet.....think we'll have to pull down the box

 

change your trans fluid

 

I had the same problem when my RRE was installed and I took it the CODY, he adjusted the clutch pedal out. Some screw or something under the clutch pedal. Works fine now

 

^will keep that in mind......cause my pedal is kinda low

 

i have a hard time shifting to 5th at high rpms. there is a bit of a grinding should.

 

I was having a ton of problems getting into gear as well and found that my clutch pedal was too low and not letting the clutch fully disengage. I found this out sitting on the track and revving up to 5000 rpms with my clutch pedal in. My car starting moving forward to my surprise. I adjusted out the pedal quite a ways and no more grinding issues.

 

are u serious?^^^^^
cuz yeah..i red lighted quite a few times yesterday at the track because the car moved foward a bit when i revved up to 5000-5500rpms...
thanks...that has to be it..cause i have that same problem.!

 

Sounds like you have the same problem! Its pretty easy to adjust the pedal. You will need a 12mm wrench. Look behind you clutch pedal and you will see the bolt that drives into the firewall when you push the pedal in. On that bolt on the side of the firewall there is a 12mm nut you need to loosen. Once you loosen that nut you can spin that bolt. Spin it counterclock wise to raise the pedal and opposite to tighten it. In your case you need to raise the pedal a bit. Dont do a lot of turns though! I read that you can drive the bolt through the master cylinder if you put too many turns on it so just do 1 turn and try it out. I had to move mine a few times to get it so it wasnt moving all the way up to 7000rpms. Once you have it adjusted tighten the 12mm nut back down and you are done.

Hope this helps you as much as it helped me!

 

I didnt kno that syncro's were replaced under warranty, thank god! i have to go up to the dealership soon cuz my 5th gear grinds and so does my reverse(sometimes)

 

I have had the same problems. I have changed my trany fluid and my clutch. I grind when on the gas hard. I lurch when I rev with the clutch in too. I will have to try to adjust it out some.
