I've had my syncros replaced under warranty 50k ago. And to this day I still miss second at
WOT sometimes !!!! And it's always when some ricer Civic, Domestic, or Subie wants to get
their butt whupped !!!!

Why the HELL is that !?!? Any other time it's fine.

no clue what a shop would charge but your looking at 400 to take trans in and out + 300 for labor inside trans

I get high rpm lockout trying to get into 2nd if I have launched the car more than a few times. Knew I shoulda sprung for the twin disc.

I have mis-shifted only one time in my evo. It was during the first week I had the car, and just was not use to it. Now, I drive my car pretty hard, and shift at WOT quite a bit, and have not missed a gear at all. Everything is pretty damn smooth.

With that being said, tomorrow morning on my way to class I am going to miss third and blow my tranns. Just wait.

I'm glad to see there are a few in the same boat as me. Im going to try some Redline trans fluid next time I change the fluid. If that doesn't work, maybe I'll adjust the clutch? Or maybe the problem will suddenly dissapear for months as it has before.

Do you find that weird, that I'll go forever without it happening, and then I'll have this time span where I have numerous miss shifts? I'd like to think it's me just sucking. It's cheaper to fix my shifting habits than it is to replace a transmission

here is the answer right here, how many miles do you have on your car, also do you track it alot, if you beat up the tranny its syncros will go easy, my friends evo 8 had like 10,000 track miles on it, holy crap those synchros were poop. lol car only had like 30,000 miles total on it, and my other friends evo has 60k miles i miss second and third in his every so often if i drive it, Mine is fine i never miss
