Allison to do warranty work? No, i sure hope not. For christ sake, they cant even remove and replace a stock clutch correctly.....I dont think they should be allowed to do evo warranty work IMHO. Also, anyone know why Allison pulled all the IX's off the lot, and their website?

Evo show and shine (w/ car wash) is Friday. A car show for all cars is on Saturday. I'm going to try and make it on Friday, depending on work.

I think I get to send my tranny to shep or TRE :/

Lots of shavings when we drained it to change the clutch. It has always been hard to get into 1st gear, but I thought the Exedy Twin was just that way so I drove it. When we put the stock clutch back in I thought the problem would go away but it hasn't. Iv've adjusted the clutch multiple times and still can't get it to work correctly. It goes into every other gear fine, it just seems like its partially blocked going into 1st.

Any ideas or is it time for a rebuild?

Ive been having this problem with an occasional grinding going into 2 and 3rd. Very rarely though. Ive had it ever since i bought the car over a year ago and almost 17k miles. It hasn't gotten any worse though.

You should call shep to get that remedied. I can't believe all the crap you're going through with your Evo.

+1. You should have some kind of warranty on it. Also they should pay for the labor if it has to be dropped again.

I dont think you will have a problem getting the calipers replaced under warranty.They have done it in the past.
