Also check your clutch line from master to slave and check for evidence of leakage. Check the brake fluid reservoir and see how much is in it.

This has nothing to do with your tranny/clutch issue,,, but i would mention that the fluid you are using syncromesh is not enough for lubricating the gears the fluid is great on syncros but not gears it does not have enough film strengh, you are better off using Diaqueen i will let you do your own research on that and won't spoon feed you.

 

BS. 130k mile OEM trans has only seen syncromesh.

OP you will not have an issue with syncromesh EVER

 

dude we can care less if your tranny has 300k, but you wont tell me and the smart people in this forum that syncromesh will have better gear lubricity and shear capacity than redline MTL or ASMOIL MTG, there is no freging way, iam sure if you dont have more than 330whp and you granny shift all the time then you may be ok, but if you drive the evo like it was meant for you need to do better than that.

like Shep told me one time , lets measure the internals of that tranny and compare it to one that uses MTL and you will see a difference.

 

450hp actually, high rpm shifts (As high as the clutch allows), beat the car pretty much every chance I get.

Never had a tranny issue. So again I call BS

 

Furthermore "you wont tell me and the smart people in this forum that syncromesh will have" ill effects on their tranny. Cause to that I'll say it again BS

 

I have used synchromesh in a lot of clutch jobs I have done because I don't want to run the risk of using AMSOIL since it isn't working for me. I am a dealer through AMSOIL and I know what these fluids are capable of but unfortunately for me ever since I switched over to their transmission lube, my tranny has been rebuilt not once but twice. All of the cars I have used synchromesh in have been running strong. I don't have an issue with AMSOIL but personally it hasn't worked for me. So no need to spoon feed me kind sir.

 

Can you get the car into gear with the car turned off ? If not, then you have either a linkage issue or something wrong inside the tranny. If you can get the car into gear while the car is off, but not when the car is on, then you likely have a clutch issue. Good luck

 

Nope it will not go into second or reverse with the car turned off. I will re-adjust my clutch pedal later on to see if that helps.

 

There is something else wrong then....If you cannot get the car into gear while the car is off, there is either something internal or your shift linkage is the culprit (adjusting the pedal is not the answer). My guess is you f'd up the linkage adjustment, so start there...Good luck

 

I pulled off the linkages and tried shifting the car through the gears and it won't let me into second or reverse so it must be an internal issue.

 

You pulled the cables from the trans linkage and then tried to row the gears from the shifter in the car and couldn't? The shifter should go anywhere at that point as it is not connected anymore

 

Not from the shifter I didn't. I actually went into the engine bay and tried manually shifting the trans...all the gears go in except 2nd and reverse.

 

Oh ok got ya. Yea man prob looking something internal

 

well to add my 0.02 ive got an 03 evo 8 i currently have about 80k stock trans never rebuilt, and since ive owned the car since 39k, ive always put in redline mt 90 wit shockproof for fluid....never an issue a little notchy till u drive a mile or so but the car drives that way till its fully warm....u can try that my tuner recommended that fluid and so far im good, same with my transfer case no death wine, a couple of launches on the car, and 385 whp in 107 weather....id say try that fluid get some new underhood bushings and base shifter bushings....that should help
