So far Ive spent $500x3=$1500 just for pulling and replacing tranny plus parts which were easily $500....All in all saving 1k on the clutch versus a twin disk Ive spent double that in repairs. If I dont shift at 6500rpms or earlier I get locked out. I would never reccommend an act product to anyone for the evo specific. Im not sure about other cars.

For your situation Id say the lockout is from the clutch and the grind is a bad synchro. Get a new clutch as Im going to and have the synchro changed and all others checked when your shop pulls the tranny. Good luck I feel your irritation.

wow That sucks big time man I feel for you, Im glad its just a small problem because the clutch came with the car when I bought it and I never liked it. Im looking for a twin disk right now probably quartermasters I heard they were the best. And im waiting on getting a quote to ship out and rebuilt my trans with shep right now, hopefully it should all be good within the next month. I just had my car retuned at 36 psi and not being able to swith gears at wot really sucks
