So about three weeks ago I went to get on the highway and had problems getting the car into 6th gear. So brought it into the dealer, they tore out the trans and found a bad synchro. Not a huge deal so they went to fix it and said that the stock clutch was out of spec and advised that I replace it. I got a Exedy twin disk and had them install it and got the whole warranty speach. The problem I am having is the trans is extremely notch and sometimes hard going into gear. This morning I'm driving into work and catch the faint smell of clutch. I get to work and and pull into the parking spot and proceed to try to get it into reverse and the car pops and rolls back like the clutch is not adjusted properly, same with first it learches foward. Now I now the clutch is not adjusted properly and it has only been 160 mile since I picked up the car so I am still taking it easy on the new clutch during break in. This afternoon I am bring it back to the dealership because they are the ones who installed it but what I am trying to figure out is if there is anything else it could be. Thanks in advance.

 

Nobody?

 

I just recently started having problems w/ my 6speed tranny.

Car has 15k miles on her and the other night whilst coming home from the last xmas shopping for the seison, stopped at the 4way stop closest to my house, pulled away like I normally do, evo is my daily driver, so it doesn't get abused, however it still is modded. Anyways, pull away 1st, 2nd, 3rd then whilst me and my gf talked/laughed in the car I accidently shifted from 3rd to 6th, ofcourse at that time when I disengaged the clutch and stepped on the gas, all power was lost as I was only going around 55mph. Car went into boost as I was still partially stepping on the gas and not at WOT, car popped out of 6th gear, as revs climbed I quickly shifted to 3rd then 4th, 5th and well since then I was unable to shift into 6th gear.

Its simply completely gone, blocked off like it does not exsist. I don't feel like dealing w/ the local Mitsubishi dealers. I also don't have the time to remove all my mods and then take it in. At this time I'm talking to TRE & SHEP to see what my options are, most likely just going to get a rental car for a week and then have TopSpeed ship my tranny to either TRE or SHEP.

I'm considering doing the SHEP 5speed swap.

Sorry for the thread jack, but thought it related.
Hope you get your tranny / clutch problem fix.

 

it could be a bad slave cylinder or clutch master cylinder. if a clutch looses line pressure, it will slowly learch forward and be hard to get in ALL gears not just reverse.

 

wow I have read about 5 new threads today about people getting locked out of 6th gear.

 

also, check your clutch adjustment.

 

My car blocked me out of second after about 80 miles on a triple disc.I adjusted the pedal and it stopped.
