Lately there have been posts about the IX having Gear Grinding problems, and I want to know if every one that bought the IX on this forums is having the problem or just a hand full of poeple.

if this has been posted it before pls delete this trhead.

 

I had grinding particularly if I went from 1st to 2nd if I shifted quick, but I learned to slow it down and no more grinding. Shifts smooth as butter now with 3k miles, but it was really notchy when I first got it.

 

The EVO tranny is very notchy, but niether of my EVOs has/have any gear grinds.

 

my IX shifts better than my VIII did.

 

I don't have a grind but more of a clunk from 2nd to 3rd. I have 11k+ on my IX.

once in a while it happens from 1st to 2nd but only when its cold out (I think).

 

i grind going 4-5 since day one....changed tranny fluid and it was a quick fix npw its getting fixed under warranty

 

mine does the same exact thing

 

I noticed that when I go faster I shift faster. The main problem with IX is that it is fast. No problems here! (Knock on wood.)

 

Oh yeah, and the only 'problems' that I've had was clamps coming loose under boost, but no longer. I love this car!

 

mine was slightly notchy 1st to 2nd when i first got it. i have 2500 on it now and its smooth as glass. broke in nice at about the 1200 mile mark

 

its good to know that the problem go away, thks for all the replys.

 

notchy, but no grinding in mine

 

and also are the problems coming out only in the 5 speeds? cuz i know that the 6 speed in the mr and the 5 speed are made from 2 different companies. correct me if i'm wrong! thanks guys

 

Thats the notchyness.

 

notchy 2nd-3rd but still smoother than my viii
