problem solved.

 

no one??

 

what kind of clunk? do you feel it going into the gear, or when you are letting out the clutch and engaging it? WOT or gentle driving, or inbetween?

 

gentle driving. i feel it go into gear but before it clicks into gear u can feel another little like rough spot but it doesn't do this for any other gears. wtf could it be? i keep telling myself its not a synchro lol.. the tranny fluids never been changed. i think this weekend im gunna take a little time nd change it. see if it does any good.

 

I would say its normal my car has done this since day one. After putting in some ams underhood shifter bushings it def made going into second smoother with a better feel and changing your fluid will help slightly too. (amsoil ftw)

 

thanks man sure makes me feel better. lol i was kinda worried a little. but yeah im gunna hop on that, changing the tranny fluid. and yeah a buddy of mine told me the exact same thing, get some shift bushings and he even said a short throw would slightly help

 

also which amsoil do u use? somebody told me the best bet is just go with the oem diaqueen from mitsubishi

 

do you have a 6 speed or 5 speed?

5 speed amsoil is MTG - https://www.amsoil.com/storefront/mtg.aspx . I have also heard amazing things about it which is why it is going in my trans this week.

 

i have the 5 speed. sweet im gunna order some of that soon, i need an oil change anyway so thats convienent. was goin with amsoil motor oil too..

how many quarts does the five speed take? 3?

 

i think 2.8, owners manual should give specific amount. but yes you will need 3 quarts

Good luck!

 

You also might want to adjust the clutch as well.

 

the clutch feels great its just the gear itself going in

 

after time the clutch needs to be adjusted for disengagement

 

to the OP or anyone really.

similar problem in 2nd gear, when i try to shift it feels like i am fighting something, even when the car is not moving. WEIRD! the gear is notchy when cold but gets worse when warm.

i change fluid regularly and i hardly doubt its my g-box - i never launched and i only drive the sucker hard once a month (only 20,000kms).

i have a feeling its my shifter base bushings or underhood bushings.

 

yeah i don't experience the problem when the cars parked only when moving and shifting at low rpm's at WOT its not even noticable
