OK so first off i have a friend that has a 04 evo 8. He has been having problems with his trans. When he is at high rpms he gets locked out of 2nd gear any other time it is fine. He has gotten the trans rebuilt nothing, he did a exedy triple upgrade since he had the twin in and nothing. We tried switching the shifter cables nothing. We put in a totally different trans and still nothing. Then we did a stiffer motor mount and all the shifter bushing and having the same problem.


Please help

 

Did he push the clutch all the way in when his at high rpm and its still gets lock? If so I would check the clutch. i know some after market clutch can screw up the tranny.

 

Yes the clutch is pushed all the way in. Other people have driven the car with the same results.

 

Bump!

 

what fluid are you using??

 

A blend of shockproof

 

adjust the clutch pedal so the pedal is higher there is a how to do it in evomoto.com

most likely syncro is gone ver comon when you cant shift into a gear on high rpms.


gl,,

and get AMSOIL in that tranny fluid GL4 MTG

 

The tranny was just rebuilt so i think the syncro's where redone but ill check on that.

 

bump

 

Friend had the same problem, flushed with AMSOIL. Has been fine ever since.

 

amsoil does make a difference!! mine was notchy as hell until i switch to amsoil! get with apagan01 he'll hook u up.

 

OK so try amsoil, the only thing that is wired is that there where two different trannys we tried and we know that one was good in another car(or so the person said)

 

Bump. Anyone have any other suggestions?

 

anyone?

 

I would check the gears then
