Its been 3 weeks now since i got 5th gear grinding . I got this when i missed shift it when i was racing against a 2007 shelby 500 (btw i lost coz i ran out of gear@ 160mph )

Everytime i shift to 5th gear it grinds(everyday). I 'm just worried about breaking more or just one day i will shatter something inside(gears/synchro). I know need it to rebuilt.
So should i stop shifting to 5th gear now? or just ignore the grinding as this is common to evo?

 

Lots of people have this problem to include myself. You can probably continue to shift to 5th with no problem it will just be an anoying grind everytime you shift

Tip: when shifting to 5th press the clutch pedal and wait until the RPM's fall and then shift to 5th if you didn't do a lot of damage it should not grind.

Hope this helps until you get your rebuilt

 

hmmm... i think i noticed that from 4th to 4th gear as soon as i shift it to neutral im doing a granny shift to 5th gear ( not releasing the clutch soon)sometimes its grinds and sometimes it doesn't.

 

Is it grinding with just normal driving? I missed a shift a few weeks back and got a grind everytime I shifted into 5th (4 times) while running a buddy of mine, but then just realized that I was just trying to shift into 5th too fast. It doesn't grind under normal driving or if I shift at a normal pace when going WOT.

 

my 5th gear has grinded since day 1, hasn't given me a problem though

 

yea mine grinds, but it doesn't grind if you take your time into it like previously stated above

 

Yeah, 5th gear just isn't designed to smash into like 2nd through 4th. Gotta take a little time and make sure its in there before letting the clutch out.

I don't know if I should be better or not knowing everyone else has the same problem as I had.

 

I had this problem aswell. I noticed if u shift slowly it doesnt grind.

 

mine grinds too but just shift slow and not fast

 

if you shift into 5th easily like press the clutch in for 2 or 3 seconds then put it in it shouldnt do it my buddies evo was doing that

 

Mine has been grinding since I got my car...Just shift really slow into 5th and you should be fine.

 

my 5th gear finally gave up at 9k miles.it doesnt grind anymore,it wont even go into 5th anymore.if you try to put it into 5th the shifter just vibrates.the car is 6 months old

 

Mine grinds only at high RPMs. I'ma try changing my gear lube to see if that helps.

 

MIne grinds too when I shift fast, gear lube didnt change anything

 

Mine grinds too, but I finally took the time and dropped it off at the dealership so they can repair it.....and I been evoless for the past week, and still waiting.
