I have an 06' Evo with a kartboy short shift kit, act clutch and flywheel, along with lots of bolt ons. I recently tracked (road racing) it in 100 degree weather. As I was driving back to my house on the highway, it popped out of 5th gear about 4 times within a half hour. it scared me so I went in the slow lane in 4th gear for a while, then put it back in 5th and it didn't happen again. I asked a friend who owns a tranny shop up north and he said it's probably not a tranny problem, but a boot in the short shifter kit that got too hot and couldn't hold the gear in place. Anybody ever experience this?

mine was doing it in 1st and 2nd everytime it would boost the gear popped out did it about 6 7 times and has not ever done it since that was a year ago

is the "its business time" in your sig a reference from flight of the conchords? awesome show

bump for an answer!

 

i have an 05 rs and i have the same problem. i took it to the dealer and they said my shift cables are binding and ordered new ones. my shifter also moves hard. it would generally pop out of fith under very light acceleration or while slowing down in gear.
