Hey guys,

I have been noticing that my car is a bit notchy sometimes when shift. I think someone was explaining this me, but I was curious if your gear box is notchy as well.


Sometimes, when i shift..i'll feel like one notch, but usually i feel 2-3 notches. and of course, when I am not moving...0 notches.

Is this common? I dunno since this is my first manual car. I don't think I felt this in my friend's honda.

Thanks.

 

i sure hope my shifter kills* notchy

anyways, what year do u have? I remember my 03 felt like SH*T. my 05 shifts like butter. I know the notches youre speaking of. My 05 has shifter bushings (under hood and in-cabin) as well as a works short shifter and it shifts smooth. It's probably bad bushings...

ps: our evos will never shift like a honda cuz its not a honda

 

i have 2005 model regular.

 

my ix is a bit notchy especially third

 

my notchiest gear is second gear.

 

same here.

 

Almost all evo's are notchy. It's nothing really bad and if you replace the bushings like mentioned above that will probably help, but the only way your really gonna get rid of this is to go with a Shep or TRE trans. Just to answer your questions your trans if fine and it wont blow up.... Yet... jk

 

get buschur or ams bushings

 

same with mine. im taking a guess that it is our shifter bushing cause it definetly doesnt feel like the syncros are messed up.

 

2nd gear on my 6-speed has been ridiculously notchy lately. I've actually grinded a few times in the past few weeks.

 

all you notchy fellas need to jump on those underhood bushings. My 05 doesnt feel notchy...AT ALL. When i had a mitsu tech drive it he told me he wished all evos shifted like my car

 

second gear for me on my 04 especially when its cold out...the tech at my job mentioned something about about changing the "gearshift link bushing" and the "gearshift lever braket" also....idk if it helps any but figure id throw it out there

 

Mine is just a little bit notchy, but just the right amount for me. It feels solid and precise but doesn't take too much effort.

 

my 2nd is the notch-iest lol (is that a word?) anywho have u guys noticed that it drives even more notch-e when low on gas? after i fill her up its like she gets happy and drives better or is that just a placebo effect?

 

I was just writing about this... same here on second gear it feels like it doesn't wanna go in... can it be the syncros if my car only has 13k? Im not sure and Im really hesitant to bring in down to mitsubishi dealers...
