I don't know if anyone else has run into this problem but, I thought I would post to see if anyone could shed any light on my situation. I have an Evo IX MR six speed and I was getting off the highway pulled out of sixth and went to downshift but didn't have any gears... My gear shift just goes around in a circle there are no gear gates. I checked all the cables and all are connected and in good working order. My friend and I that took her apart think its either the gear selector from the paddle on top of the tranny where all the cables hook up I might have broke a shaft or something or my tranny just might have blown. Has this happened to anyone else or can anyone shed any light on this? If I have to rebuild the tans I was thinking of going with PPG gear sets and was kicking around the idea of converting to 5 speed. Any thoughts on this as well? Any info you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated thanks so much

Sounds like a shift fork. Regardless you might wanna get the trans rebuilt. But if i were you just convert it to a 5-speed.

 

kewl thanks for advice

 

check ur shifter pin if it came out it would be as if u had no tranny at all had it happen to me and i thought all was lost cause the shifter was lose and no gears were there

 

check your shifter pins! rebuild your trans!

 

Bump...I have this exact same problem. When I have someone sit in the car and move the stick the paddles and cables move on top of the transmission. I was in 6th gear on the highway and when I took it out of gear the car did not have a gear to go into. Cables are all connected and in the brackets which are tight. Any help is appreciated because this is my only car

 

Still need help. Bump

 

I ran the 6spd for years but never had this problem. If you convert to five ensure you get a 4.11 or 4.0 final drive. The ratio in the 5 is so wacked stock it is unreal. Idk what mitsu was thinking. But i suggest rebuilding with the upgraded 6spd gears that they came out with last year. Its nearly comparable to the strength of a 5spd now

 

If all your cables move on the top of the transmission then it must be something inside the transmission.

 

Just f'ing great...I had the clutch changed out a month ago

 

Well you gotta think... if everything works up to the tranny, it must be in the tranny.
