Thank you.

Yep, mine does it all the way into 4th actually, granted it's not as bad as 1-2,and 2-3 but it's stll there. Just shift qickly and decisively and it will go in smooth once warmed up. I still think that it's a fluid issue personally, and that switching t something else will cure this problem, but mitsu claims that it can void your warranty so I'll wait to see if they find a fix first.

My foreman at the local dealership states, he won't void warranty because of the BG synchroshift. He actually recommended that plus royral purple for the rear diff.
Reason, why I started the poll is due to mitsubishi corp, told me. EVO X is prefect and less then 1% people are having any issue it at all.
I am gonna send this link to the person, after, week or so.

Good to start a poll. Now mine seems to be intermittent. Last night when going to gym, on a cold start, it only did it going from 2nd to 3rd. Today when going to work (early morning) it does it from 1st to 2nd and from 2nd to 3rd. But once again when it warms up all gears are ok.....but 2nd to 3rd seems to come and go.

I'm not sure if anyone else experiences it, but every once in a while (cold or warm, doesn't matter) reverse won't engage. I had the same problem in my turbo'd tc, but putting it in 4th before putting it in reverse always solved the problem. I actually have to let the clutch out a little bit and let it catch slightly before it will go in. I try putting it in all the gears before trying to put it in reverse and sometimes that won't even work. Anybody else having that issue? It's probably happened 3 times and I have 650 miles on my X.
