I also have the same problem with a stage 2 trans from Jack's trans going from 1st to 2nd an then 3rd back to second but if I wait an extra second or two it won't make any noise. Any info would be great.

 

Did a drive train fluid change and installed a front motor mount today.
Motor mount seems to have helped.
my car shifts fine most of the time., but if I don't drive smooth( shift the car balance too much) then I do grind here and there. It feels like the engine might have moved too much during transition like that.
I think front motor mount somewhat cures that.

 

Even a stock 14 evo x my little brothers is doing it as well.

 

The does not have a reverse gear it uses first and third to achieve reverse. Always stick it in third then attempt reverse

 

I guess I can pitch in. 2008 GSR, original factory transmission with 140k miles. I got it taken apart, as I wanted to get the diff pins upgraded. The transmission was a bit notchy when cold, but once warmed up it shifts great. When first firing up it didn't really wanna go into gear, but, once I waited a minute it would shift. Only issue I had was high RPM shifts into 3rd. It would sometimes either grind a little or completely not go in if shifting fast, and my trans guy that has it apart said it's the shift fork and pin that are worn. So along with the diff pins he's going to be replacing those as well. Otherwise, he says the transmission is all within spec and looks great internally even considering the high mileage.


I find the X transmission to be far better than the transmissions Mitsu was using in the DSMs. I really like the way it feels and shifts. I will update once the trans and engine are back in the car and I get some more miles on the new fork & pin, see how 3rd acts.

 

Hey everyone I was wondering which is the best site to order a clutch kit for my evo in Canada ? I was looking for a stage 2 act clutch since my clutch is starting to go . Also , is the stock flywheel
compatible with this clutch ?

 

I don't know how old is thread is overall I know when I got my Evo it was notchy and clunky until fully warmed up. I brought into the dealer, they did a new rear differential and it's now shifts smooth as butter through every gear whether it's cold or hot. A whole new driving experience. I'd recommend some of you guys getting it checked out!

 

Just make sure you are on facebook live so we can all get a laugh

 

I have a Final Edition from Aus and at first it was clunky when shifting into 3rd, So Mitsubishi have Replaced the Gearbox and also the shifter assembly and made it worse !!! Now 2nd and 3rd grind/grate it has also better gearbox oils and additive but still does it and Mitsubishi now say this is normal for sports cars please help !!!!

 

Does anyone know if the noise some reported is coming from drive shaft or wheel bearings? Or is it that the Gearbox, and diff always the culprit?

 

Definitely notchy, but no grinding....yet.
