Any one experience this? I am wondering if this is normal for a new evo or not. I have 400 miles on the clock and sometimes I get a notchy almost grinding sound when I try to shift into those gears. I have never experienced this before on a manual vehicle and this is with the clutch pedal pressed all the way down.

 

"normal" behavior... search, you'll find lots of info about this.

 

mine also does it, very slight, not all the time. i just had the tranny rebuilt also with only 15k on the clock.

 

shift cage bushing, new/better tranny fluid, works short throw, flossy heavy weight knob. problem solved.

 

I personally have Redline MT-85 fluid, TWM shifter with base bushings, and It's still notchy...

 

i have 3300 miles on my evo and have been experiencing ever since i got it, its very annoying.

 

A heavy extended shift knob will eliminate 98% of the grind.
