I got an 03 evo and the TC has been replaced already...now the shifter is so f'n Notchy. It feels ok when the car is off but when the car is started its so hard to put the car in gears. The shifter feels really notchy....Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone have any ideas on what it might be or what i can do?

 

Can't you take it back to a Mitsu dealer. It should still be under warranty. Is the car heavily modded?

 

Things to check:



Have the hydraulic fluid completely flushed & bled free of any air in the system.

Make sure your clutch pedal is properly adjusted, and that your shifter cables aren't damaged and properly fastened.

Make certain your clutch is in proper working order; that the clutch disc is not bent or out of true (because whoever installed the transmission let the transmission hang by the input shaft)...this is more common that one thinks.

If you have the correct oil in the transmission and you can raise the clutch pedal off the floor at least 3 inches (75mm) before the car even thinks about moving than you shouldn't have a problem with shifting the transmission.

*** TRE CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT TIP *** Have the car on hoist while checking the clutch threshold. Clutch threshold is the term for when the clutch just grabs enough to make the wheels on the car turn. Having the car in the air is the reality check for clutch threshold and weather or not your clutch is dragging on the flywheel.

First, read Gears response. If that does not work, try changing the fluids.
