Really? How about gm syncromesh? What the hell am I going to do with all my mt-90?

Is their 75w90 ok in the tranfer/diff?

 

Well, you seem like one of the unfortunates that really have a problem. Good luck guy and sorry if I sounded a little pissy, that guy with 45mph into 1st and *****ing about mitsu tranny really made me jumpy.

Peace

 

i would like to know more about that too......
as someone also asked: id Redline work ok with transfer and rear LSD ?

thanks

 

I trust you are an excellent driver
The good news is this problem is well documented and mitsu will fix this grind for free. My friend had that same problem.

Theres more good news. My car does not rattle and does not grind.

umm why would you double clutch and rev match into 1st gear, your coming to a stop... what is the point? you shouldn't be shfiting into first gear until your at a complete stop. so how would you double clutch into first gear???

 

Not every EVO has these problems (except maybe minor interior rattles in cold weather). I'd avoid self diagnosis and home fixes. Take it back and get them to check it. See if you can find somebody else with an EVO so you have something to compare.

 

If you are grinding while shifting into 1st at a complete stop, chances are that your clutch isn't fully releasing. And considering that you are grinding so many other gears, I am almost positive.

You have to adjust the clutch pedal to give you more throw. Have you done any clutch modifications at all? If not, just take it into the dealer.

Hopefully you haven't caused any permanent damage to the synchros.

 

decelerating in second, crawling along still in second, second to neutral, neutral to first. think rush hour traffic, or rushing to make a right turn.

What's so tough to understand?

 

I've driven a few other evo's. None idle HALF as bad as mine does, or have ANY clutch pedal vibration, never mind the amount I have in mine which feels like a sharper image foot massager. Dealer says it's all normal, and refuses to look at it.

 

Clutch pedal vibration sounds like a warped clutch disc or a warped clutch plate. That would also cause grinding.

 

That's what I though, but it's been like that since 4 miles on the odo. It transmits the engine vibration right as it starts to engage.

 

You must be hella of a driver not to missed shift once in 8 years. I've already missed shift my Evo about 5-10 times and only have 10k miles. But have no problem pounding on the gear when out running moded WRX's.

Better get that tranny looked into.

 

I'd like to think of myself as a "careful" driver. Use proper technique, and you should never miss shift. When shifting quickly, always use soft hands. Never manhandle the shifter.

 

If the dealer won't look at it complain to Mitsubishi corporate and get the regional service rep involved.

 

Just did a test on my Evo. I can shift into 1st at 20mph smoothly. I also noticed my driving habits. I'm always shifting into 1st at 5mph before a stop sign. I'm using MT-90 tranny and 75W-90 for all other gear lube. I must have a pretty good tranny since unlike some, I've missed shift 2nd gear quite a bit. Of course, all the missed shifts were samed by the snycros since that's what I was grinding.
