Hey frank, it sounds like you need some new tranny fluid. Go with BG Synchroshift, its like butter. (or stick with what came in it from the get go, mitsu oem tranny fluid)

I was thinking my short shifter bushings or underhood bushings might need to be relubed or I might needa get my transmission oil drained and refilled?? Not sure what it could be, but yea its been acting up I can't shift as smooth as before 8- (((
When was the last time you changed your tranny fluid?
I've been getting horrible gas mileage lately just driving around normally.. I rarely even get on the car that much and it wastes gas like freaking crazy.. I believe just driving around the city/highway I get around 200-220 tops it sucks ***.. Would a custom tune help better my gas than the mail in dynoflash that I have??? Also, I regularly change the oil and clean my air filter so I know that ain't the problem.. Also, ever since I put the walboro in about a year ago I noticed that my gas gauge fluctuates and goes up and down all the damn time.. For example, one minute It would be near the top at the full needle mark, then drop midway between that and a half a tank, and maybe 20-30 miles later it goes to half a tank... Then goes back up, and etc... Not sure what the heck it is but I wanna get this fixed asap!! lol.. Oh yea, I found out why my shifter is notchy as hell, I needa get a tranny drain and refill 8- )

man you better get on it and change your own fluids!!!
i second the bg synchroshift for the tranny. i think you use about three bottles. i lean towards overkill, but i change my lsd and tranny every 10k. makes it easier to keep track of
i couldn't find any around here (didn't really look that hard, just 3 or 4 stores) so i ordered it online. it'll shift better than when you first got the car.
with the fuel pump in there you are going to burn more gas, there's no way around it. as for your gauge bouncing, i'd check the fuel pump to make sure nothing came loose and its in there solid.
i'm heading down to the awd dyno now, to check it out

Howd you do at the dyno???
i took a quick glance at the map and then forgot the address on my table 
so i ended up looking on the wrong side of the golf course for about half an hour.
i'm going to head back down there now and take a look see, since i've looked at the map again and have written down the address again
since i don't have a garage i think i'm going to have to look at buying some kind of tent i can toss up in my driveway whenver i need to. i want to put this stuff on my car and the rain is killing me!!

hmm.. so your guys car doesn't do that does it, like the gas gauge fluctuating up and down.. I.e. one minute at full then drop back down to between full and half a tank and then go back up to full then drop back to half and some shiet... I'm to lazy to pull out my fuel pump, but if that seems like the problem I will go ahead and do it.. A few of you guys have a dynoflash as same as me and yours doesnt do it so I am guessing that is not the problem and it is the fuel pump then 8- X

the fuel pump is really easy to get to for use...surprisingly easy. also if you plan on coming out to the meet this evening i have the exedy twin in my car. Just ask me ill be more then happy to let you take it for a spin to feel the clutch.
was wondering if anybody has tried penzoil synchromesh because I heard it was as good as bg synchroshift, but way cheaper.. I still needa get my ****s changed but aint going to the dealer ever gain after the alignment dispute.. Anybody wanna help me do the tranfercase,rear diff, and tranny fluid changes 8- ) I am gonna buy the fluids tomorrow..
