For the past 3 days, I been having a problem with shifting from 2nd gear around 4000 RPM to 3rd gear quickly. It happens around not much, but around 15-25% of the times. Lets say I'm on 2nd gear, I would sometimes shift around 4000 RPM quickly into 3rd gear and it would not go in. It would feel I have not depressed the clutch pedal at all and there is something hard blocking it. However if I'm at a somewhat high RPM on 2nd gear and clutch in for a couple of seconds then shift to 3rd gear, it would go in smoothly. Does anyone know what is going on? The car I'm having problem on is a 2003 Evo VIII GSR with 36k~ miles. Everything is stock on the car too.

Thanks!

 

Dam, am having similar prblem. But, shifting quickly at high rpms.. kinda grinds doesnt engage in gear... I havent had time to adjust clutch, you can try that... Or maybe new fluid>?

 

I changed all of my transmission/diff/etc. oil not too long ago too. I think it was at around 30k~ miles and right now my car is at 36k~ miles.

 

had the same problem...i took it in to mitsu under warranty...they claimed it was the synchos...checked that!

 

Wouldn't I be grinding in 3rd gear if it was synchro problems? It seems like the clutch isn't disengaged when I shift into 3rd

 

Did problem happen after fluid changes? +1 for sycro unfortunately, if is not the above

 

It was fine after my fluid change, I just noticed it couple of days ago. I can still drive the car perfectly fine, its just that I don't try to rev too high on 2nd gear to 3rd gear. Should I just keep driving it like that and wait to get it fix?

 

stock clutch? ........i know u said the car is stock

 

Yep, I'm still on my stock clutch.
