About two months ago, i replaced my stock clutch in my 05 evo 8 , With a Competition stage 3 w the carbon Kevlar with a ACT street light flywheel. no expense was spared, i replaced every part needed for a clutch job including fluids. My car is mostly a daily driver, i doubt it will see alot of track days any time soon. The car is currently it has no mods besides the MR div. valve. This being my first evo, i didn't expect all the extra noises. I was told most of these noises were due the act flywheel. After a ride with the mechanic he assured me all the noises were normal. I got used to that.

after the clutch install the shifting felt rather notchy, so i did my hw , i checked out evom for every solution on to get better shifter feel, i replaced under the hood shifter bushings, the shifter base bushings,new ss clutch line, new OEM master and slave cylinder, front motor mount, buschur short shifter, Now my latest problem is shifting for from 4th gear to 5th it feels rather difficult( @ about 50 mph)
Im starting to think transmission problems here (thumbdwn)


Any input is much appreciated,
thank you

 

Did you ever figure out what the problem was? Mines kinda feelin like that right now where I'm having an issue shifting to fifth gear but all the other gears are fine.

 

I also have a hard time getting into fifth and sometimes even get a small grind when shifting at higher Rpm's.... I hope you find an answer here

 

Read up on adjusting your clutch. After the initial break in period, you should need to adjust it. Sounds like you possibly have some clutch drag without it disengaging completely.

 

 

Was thinking this and will look into it. Thanks!
