05 with 5k miles, i get locked out from nething to 2nd. when it does go in it feels soo notchy havent tried changing ne tranny fluid. Would tranny fluid or changing the lines help?

 

I had a similar "problem" with my 03. You got to take it easy with the 1-2 shifts otherwise you're gonna F*#&# up your tranny and probably the syncros. I put a short throw shifter in mine and solved my problem. Hope this helps.

 

It just simple shifts from 1-2 at 3k, or downshifts from 4 to 2 as a light turns green. but if i downshift from 4-3-2 it goes in smooth.

 

do you rev match at all? if you rev match I don't see you having any shifting problems. I rev match all the time now and it makes a load of difference.

 

yeah i rev match every time. I dunno i mite just try taking it to dealer see if they can find the problem.

 

yeah do that....make sure you don't have any aftermarket stickers on it or they'll void your warranty

 

yeah stickers are a big nono.

thx for responses neway.

 

gravy man.. just follow this diy.

ignore the clutch line install if you arent installing one obviously.

 

almost 15000 miles on my 05 and no problem what so ever, been to the track many times runs like a champ, low 13's all night long, stock clutch and tranny have no sign of problem ,lock out of 2nd gear couple of times, but i found out that my hand was faster than my clutch foot ( so that problem is driver related).

 

Wow stock clutch? How many launches on it so far?

 

i d say well over 20 now

 

That's impressive... any particular technique? I think most on here will say you're approaching the limit.

 

My evo shifts a little notchy like you guys describe, but its new, its supposed to be like that. Don't expect butter smooth shifts like a Toyota with 100,000 miles on the clock.

 

I was at the track with jamie from WORKS, and he has over 100 launches with 30k on the clock and his stocker is still holding enough to give him consistent 1.8 60's.

 

well just slip it slightly at around 4000-4500, if u smell your clutch it s means u slip too much, i dont get the best 60' (1.9-1.8) but at least i am saving my clutch and still run decent times.
