I only have 900 miles on mine, the clutch is great, haven't missed any shifts but the car does not like to go into 5th gear.

Please check that link out....

 

This is only for '04+ models though correct?

I have the 5th gear grind at higher rpms, but not 5k... more like 7k.

My car is an '03, almost 45k miles. I wonder if this input shaft bearing would have a positive effect on the p0300 plague??

 

03 Evo....powertrain is 60,000 miles

Please check out the other link I posted and file a complaint!

 

Thanks for the info. I'll be following up w/ a dealer around here and report back.

 

go luck with those mods. probaly be saying that you cause it downshifting from 6th gear

 

Yeah I'm not holding my breath, but this is a known mod-friendly dealership.

 

i have the same problem, i need to take mines in to. How long does it take for them to fix the 5 gear?

 

hey redcloud, what dealership did u take ur car too? i'm just wondering what dealership had no problem with working on your car with all those mods. i'm not having a problem but just in case you never know.

 

I had the same exact problem with my 03 grinding in 5th at high RPMs, as soon as I started grinding 2nd I sent that pig to TRE and did the full rebuild with ALL TSB updates and double synchors and went ahead and rebuilt the transfer case and opted for the RalliArt LSD. Can't wait to get her back, shipped back to me last weds.
