So you're telling me that mitsu has all these evos out in the world with six speeds and they're all crap? Can some of this be the whole rota cracked wheel effect? I already pretty much have my mind made up it's just a matter of when. I just don't think it's going to be a problem for me because I don't race or ever plan go after mad power.

 

Well i want power...EVENTUALLY. But I also want to go to the track and not worry about trailering my evo home

 

Instead of flying off the handle not knowing what you're talking about, consider reading the thread I referred to. The transmissions can and do fail, given a specific set of circumstances. It's not necessarily a matter of "how you take care of your ish," as you asserted.

Great, enjoy the 6-speed.

 

FJF is right
do your research people and you will see what hes saying is correct

i have a 6 speed and i love it, but that doesnt change the facts that they are weaker and do fail

 

I concur!

And any transmission can and will fail, given a specific set of circumstances. That's why they call it a specific set of circumstances.

 

I'm not flying off the handle, I just know what I want out of my six speed when I get it and I will enjoy it thank you.

 

I agree anyone can fail BUTTTT is one STATISTICALLY better?

 

I may be wrong but aren't the majority of overseas evos six speeds? Maybe if some out of country owners can chime in on the subject. I feel the point of view here is a little slanted. Unless the overseas evo 6 speed Trannys are completely different.

 

I love my six speed, but if I could go back, I would have looked for a GSR instead.....

 

and WHY would you have gone to the 5spd?

 

Aren't any of you going to read the 6-speed threads? Unbelievable.

+123...i love my 6 speed. yes my motor is basically stock, but i plan on keeping it that way. shifts like butter and highway driving is practical. it all depends on what motives you have.

 

I love my IX MR 6 spd too! DD 2.3L stroker on an FP Red... 495 tq and 515 hp. Fingers crossed until Shep releases the 6 spd upgraded tranny option. However, 40,000 miles with no issues. About 5k with the 2.3L and still shifts like butter

 

I have a 5 speed, will never have an Evo with 6 speeds and I read these posts just to be more knowledgeable. Thinking of 6 speed? Read these.

Now say thank you to the nice man that did the leg work and put all these links in one post.
