About a week and a half ago it started, not matter how easy or how low the rpms are, whenever i shift into 5th it grinds

Anyone think that mistu will put out a TSB on this?

 

Already had my 5th gear syncro replaced.......i tell you had better do something soon about all this crap....i am already on my 3rd transfer case.

 

Yes, there is a TSB on it.. There are updated components.. However there is no recall on it.

Although I haven't had any transfer case problems, I do find that I "Smell" what smells like gear oil (rear end or transfer case) I dont know that its leaking, but it might also be something to check when they work on your tranny...

 

Post the Technical Service Bulletin , thanks Im thinking I need all my syncros replaced, THEY ALL FRICKIN GRIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

really, Malibu please post the tsb number. I looked thru the tsb's for the Evo and can't find any on the 5th gear synchro.

 

Ya know, I don't have the number. I saw the document with the reference to "Updated Parts" that the service manager at the dealer showed me, and never asked for a copy of it. My synchro and some other portion of the gearset (I think the fork and idler shaft) had a few parts also replaced under warranty.

I'll take a look at my paperwork for the repair and see if they have a document ID#

 

Bump Bump Bumpity Bump Bump Bump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GET IT DONE!!!!!!!

 

If they're putting in new syncros, can they put in a new clutch for free(+ parts) while they're at it?

 

Some of our 7s down here are having issues with the 5th gear synchros as well

 

i hate mitsubishi when it comes to fessing up to errors... took them how long to issue a recall on the VR4, lol

 

i've had my trans out because of this issue also, grind is fixed, but now i have some annoying groaning noise when i engauge my clutch...its going back to the dealer tonight...

 

So if i take it into mitsu they should dover it correct? I just hope they dont say anything about my 3 inch turbo back.

 

Any word yet on that TSB???????????????

 

Hopeless BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mine goes in in the morning.

We will see if they cant just mess the whole thing up?

the synchro, gear, and synchro hub is no good in my tranny. I finished tearing the tranny down for inspection. Even though I dont beat on the tranny 2nd,3rd,4th and 5th gears need to be replaced, along with synchros and hubs. Its not the actual gears that are no good, its the teeth that engage into the synchros that are rounded and dulled. These teeth are part of the gear itself. Im very dissapointed in the strength of these gears and their synchro design, but I shall have a like new tranny in a 1 or 2 days.
I suspect all the guys that have any gear grind have the same problems I have. I will have to give the tranny an extra second to fully engage the gear from now on. As for a TSB, good luck. All I know is that I trust noone to work on any part of my car but myself.
