alrite guys, was goin about 35 in 2nd gr, and gave it like 3/4 throttle( to show my buddy of the problem) neways gave it about 3/4 gas, got to about 4.5k rpms, went to shift to 3rd and the thing literally stuck rite at 4.5k, tried pushin in the clutch to see if it would drop the rpm's and wouldnt, the only way it would drop was putting it into 3rd and releasing clutch slowly, now i have never encountered this before on ne car, so wat u guys thinkin, u may say clutch is slippin, but normal driving and everything is fine, plus i knw wat a slipping clutch feels like, do u guys think it could b the TPS? wat is goin on, i rarely ever get on it, and its botherin the crap out of me, 05 evo 8 rs, plz help guys

 

Anyone?

 

sucks man, mine sticks a bit sometimes too. Never stays there, just for a second tho.

 

If you are stuck at 4500 you could try cleaning the throttle body it could be gunked up, otherwise the throttle cable could use some lube possibly, or be pinched.

 

I've been told that it's possibly the throttle shaft seals leaking which are cheap and I'd assume easy to fix, hasn't concerned me enough to hop on it yet

 

thx for the input, ne kinda precautions i should take when cleaning it, ive heard people screwin up there TPS?

 

really? I cleaned mine a while back, no issues

 

did u just get TB cleaner from autozone, or one of those places?

 

welp, just drove home from work, now it does it every gear, once i hit 4k,sum times let off the clutch and rpm's shoot up? wtf is goin on, plz help guys, i went to a mitsu dealer earlier today, and told the guy wat was goin on, he looks at me and says...i dnt knw, so yea, plz help

 

i have the same EXACT problem with my 8. I read somewhere on here a while ago about the tb shaft seals and thats an easy fix.
I also lubed the cable and that had no help, im almost positive it has to do with the tb i just havent gotten to the seals yet, im currently working on a rebuild.

 

This is a known issue, replace your TB shaft seals. To be completely sure this is the problem, spray some WD-40 on each side of the shaft and see if it goes away. If it does, your seals are shot.

 

awesome i really appreciate everyones input, and will b testing all this out, and cleaning TB and checking PCV as well, BUT say these things rnt the real culprit wat else do u guys think it would b?

 

Clean the tb with carb cleaner and check if the cable if being restricted anywhere if that doesnt work get Mil spec TB shaft seals.

 

yea i already ordered the mil spec seals and a new pcv valve, just cuz i bought it used and dnt knw when the person did that maintenance ever, but yea, waitin on seals and gasket for next weekend, this weekend is cleanin the TB and checkin the cable, SOOO once again, thx for the help guys, ISH has been freakin me out since yesterday

 

are you on tuned ecu?
