5th Gear Grinding
I had luck with my warranty claim. BUT...I have heard horror stories. Your exhaust cannot cause synchro and tranny problems. Probably don't have to take the exhaust off but it wouldn't hurt. The less they can point the finger at you abusing the car, the better. Mitsubishi knows about this grinding problem in thier trannys. It's BS that half the IX's on here have some sort of tranny/sychro/grinding issue (imo).
God I hope not. But I cant answer that. They can do pretty much whatever they want if they say you were abusing the car. There are so many people that have had their car from day 1 and have the same problems. People assume abuse but I think we just got the bad trannys.

I dropped off my car at a Mitsu dealer on Tuesday and I just called them. They said there changing my syncros under warranty.
Thank God
BTW I put my car back to stock. So I didn't have to hear ****.

I just started getting this grind. I have only smelled burnt clutch twice while I've had this car. I'm looking at replacing the transmission fluid with some BGII, but I can't find any locally. I want to see if that will help before I have to put everything back to stock in order to have the dealership look at it. I only get this grind if I'm shifting quickly and at some what a high rpm into fifth gear. The car is only two years old and has about 13000 miles on it. I've read the transmissions were weak in our cars, but I didn't figure they would be that fragile.

sounds like maybe your clutch is not disengaging all the way. You could try and bring it back again and tell them you are having the same problem but also in thrid. They might say you dont know how to drive. Ask them if they adjusted the clutch last time.
Do you always push the clutch down completly when shifting?

I have the 5th gear grinding on my '03. Mostly at redline shifts. I just confirmed with Mitsubishi that I have a 5 year 60k warranty. Does anyone have any dealer they can recommend to do this repair?
