This is new.. started bout 2 weeks ago. My car setup is posted in my signature.

Every morning i have this problem of shifting from 1st to 2nd, or 3rd to 2nd or 1st... (when slowing down). It lasts for a while, and is quite annoying. And before you start flaming, i shift from 3rd to first when i've come to a stop.

I thought my tranny fluid was old, so i got it changed, still the same. The only thing that seems to work during these periods, is to really press the clutch hard and put the car into gear.

Need your views on what is wrong with the car ??

 

Scoot your seat up a couple notches. Just try it.

 

try jamming it into gear like a man. clutch and all.

 

ehehee... Well i would JAM it into gear, but somehow jamming is not very welcome on the evo tranny.. ooh an sti.. BOY CAN U JAM that cars gears.. but still to be on topic... whts the issue here ??

 

Just a thought, but you may need to bleed your clutch, or completely replace the fluid.

 

How does a man jam it in?

 

Went I changed to a short throw shifter, I also changed the stock rubber bushings out with new brass ones.

Several people have said that new bushings and shifter helped allign the syncros better to eliminate the tranny grind. Mine disappered after the install.

However, now that its getting colder, the grind is back....only when the trans is cold. I have new BG Syncro-shift fluid so I dunno what else I need.

 

i had the same problem then i installed the lancershop SS kit. grinding only once and a while now and only when im above 5000rpm. but the shifting feels much better with the kit........and to day im installing the SS clutchline.........ill let you know how it turns out

 

I was thinking of that mod/change. Let us know!!!

 

yup! mine went away after i installed lancershop ss kit + 10 pieces metal bushing and switch to BG Syncro-shift fluid... no more grind or what so ever in 5000 miles.

 

Anyone tried Redline in their tranny? I have the same 1->2, 3->2 shifting problems when the tranny is cold.

 

push clutch in, change gears and hold to feel it engage

 

very carefully

 

When you fellas are talking about downshifting and grinding..are you double clutching?

I am selling my Saab and I'm used to having to..since my synchros have gong long since.

I'm buying a 2003 Evo 8 soon..thanks guys.

 

Just granny shift it. Mitsu will be happy.
