polyurethane bushings, came with the works short shifter

 

guys dont take it personal. i was just telling him wht i went thru and that was the same problem i had and it was my clutch. one last thing all of u guys r telling him do this or do that when u guys didnt even went thru with this same problem but yall wanna be mcdaddy and try to see if any of those **** work, anyways best thing would be take it to dealrship and let them figure it out for u and claim it on waranty and if its clutch warranty wont cover it and if its clutch do come back and post it for these so called mcdaddies good luck

 

one more thing it might sound stupid but it use to work for me til l i saved up enough money to get new clutch, put ur car in reverse before u crank it and it should go in reverse. good luck

 

i will be taking it to the dealer tomorrow after work most likely, and will post up the info i find out about it

 

I've had a few things that didn't want to let me go in reverse. The trick is to get it properly warmed up, even if this takes a while. Also, make sure that there's plenty of fluids. Then, when you're ready to try, make sure that you're lined up correctly and ready to go. Finally - and this is the key - lean forward and whisper "I love you."

 

Lol, this always works

This is what usually works for me.. and on the rare occasion it doesn't, putting it back into 1st and then into reverse sometimes helps for some reason.

 

I have a 2011 gsr with 2000 miles and i had the same issue the day i bought the car and had to back it outta the show room the dealer brushed it off as " normal " but i made them write a report about it incase a problem arises in the future.

 

I clutch in put it in 4th then put it in neutral clutch out then clutch in and it slides into reverse like butter.

 

That really was the best Marlon Brando movie, by far, wasn't it?

 

well...took my car to the dealership today, the evo tech guy came out and looked at my car real quick because he did not have time today to tear into it when i got there.

first thing the guy asks is if it is a five or six speed....and he was wanting to know if the stock shifter had a reverse lockout lever also.

ohh why does this have to be the only mitsu dealership close by. guess i am going to be looking for the problem myself. lol

 

it seems like a common issue with the evo i would worry about it like posted above just pump the clutch seems to work great for me

 

does not work for me...feels like the shift linkage is binding up.

i had my buddy sit i my car and hold the shifter where reverse should be and i was messing under the hood where the linkage connects to the trans, and i can shift the car into reverse with ease by pulling the linkage

 

How is 2nd and 3rd shifting up in your car? Is it acceptable?

Perhaps you need to have your clutch line re-bled.

 

Get shifter bushings, under hood bushings, all motor mounts, and put better tranny fluid in and it will shift a lot better. lol

I got AMS Under Hood Bushings, Shifter Base Bushing, Front/Cam Side/Tranny Side Motor Mounts and Redline Fluid and shifts easier and goes into every gear smoother.

 

He may want to avoid doing all of that until the dealership actually fixes it. It should shift into reverse from the factory.
