I have an 06 evo IX 39miles. i had the car parked for the winter for the last 4 months. i am having issues with the first and 5th gear. I can engage the car in first and 5th but its really hard. I tried engaging the gears while the car is off, and still same problem. as far as the other gears, they seem fine. any idea what could be causing this issue?


thanks guys

 

maybe the under hood bushing are seizing up? just a random guess. try spraying some wd40 on them. that's easiest thing it could be. gl

 

thanks i'll give this a try this week

 

When was the last time you had the driveline fluids changed?

 

I never did, I only had the car for 5 months and drove for maybe a month. I just bought all the OEM fluids today. i'll be changing all the fluids this week! hopefully it fixes the problem

thanks
