I have a 2006 evo ix and I have the shep trans rebuild kit with evo 8 3rd and 4th upgrade. When i got this trans put in i also got a Fidanza 4.3 clutch installed and clutch was great when i first got it back and done, it chattered a lil bit but i expecteed that from a puck clutch. Now let me get to the point. Recently i have been noticing some issues. Seems like all high rpms the car wont shift into 4th at all and 3rd sometimes when it feels like it needs to. 1st to 2nd is ok but dosent shift like butter and from 4th to 5th is fine. Im just wondering what you guys think this issue could be? When i drive and shift around or a little under 3k the car is fine and a little above 3k it will grind going into 4th all the other gears are fine under these low rpms. I need some imput. Ive spoke with Chad from CBRD and he has givin me his input and he is researching some more for me but im wondering if you guys have had this issue or have any idea what could be going on.

Thanks fellas

 

Bummpperr anyone??

 

Is than an unsprung clutch?

 

Not sure ill find out tho.

 

No its sprung im pretty sure. what would that have to do with it?

 

Have you tried adjusting the clutch rod out a little at a time to see if it makes any difference??

 

No i havent not sure if that will help because every other gear is fine. besides 3rd sometimes...The clutch dosent release until the very end all i have to do is push the pedal in a lil bit to shift but ive tried to push it all the way to the floor and it still dosent wanna go in.

 

bump anyone?

 

you should definitely adjust the clutch. typically it should release mid way. you should adjust it asap as you might be wearing out your clutch if it doesn't fully engage and disengage.

 

im having similar problems. i have a shep tranny with a 6 puck clutch. i adjusted mine most of the way out and it didnt seem to do much... this tranny isnt smooth at all... im kinda dissapointed

 

what fluid are you running?

 

i believe its the diaqueen its w.e shep recomended CBRD did the work and put it all in. but its not there fault and has nothing to do with them do u think this could be my issue the fluid? it hasnt been changed since the break in..

 

almost sounds like ur getting lock out.. i would suggest adjusting ur clutch pedal and see if it still does that. gl man

 

what clutch are you running? is it locking you out of 4th all the time or just high rpms?

 

ill try to adjust it tonight and see if that helps...
