2008 evo x mr transmission problems
I have a 2008 evo x mr and last night and the night before I was driving and my car wouldn’t shift out of 2nd gear and when I tried to put it in reverse the “R” on the dash and shifter just blinked at me and acted like it was in neutral I put the car in park shut it off and started it again after a few minutes and everything worked fine any one know what’s the cause of this. Any thing helps thanks

It's likely a bigger issue in the mechatronic unit or with the shift magnet forks. Start saving your peso's for a trans. You may have prolonged it's like some with fresh fluid, but be assured a failure is coming..
I had the same problem. It was shifting slow and even flashing several times when I was trying to go in reverse. so I took it to IVEY and they changed the oil and filter.
The car had 58XXX fun miles then.
Im now about to hit 18XXXX fun miles and I never had a problem with the trans in shifting since then :-)
also for the the record I did 3 oil/filter changes.

When I use to park on a hill and shifted into reverse, the "R" would blink for a moment before engaging. I replaced the fluid and filter and it seemed to have resolved the issue. Until recently my T-case and tranny just went out. Don't know if it was like mentioned, that I was just buying time with a fluid change.
