syncros?? i know they go bad on ix's, i have a hard time going into fifth and reverse.

I believe this problem is normal with the X's. Mine is like that too although its beginning to smooth out now, currently at 1600 miles. On Evo M most people said their transmissions didn't smooth out till about 6000-8000 miles.

On days that the transmission was extremely notchy, I would just double clutch, that helped it get into gear a lot smoother.

Well I guess im not the only one wit this issue wich is good to know...im takin it to sc mitsu for sumthin else this week so wnt hurt to have them look at it but thanx for the responses ...any more wudnt hurt

i have the same problem but its 1st 2nd and 5th. i dont think its a problem cuz it goes into gear smooth sometimes and sometimes it doesnt.

[dongchad]

same problem here specially on cold weather.

That sounds about right, I had the service department tell me the same thing when I brought my X back for the exact same reason

Edit: Except that really only happens to me going from 1st to 2nd, sometimes rough in other gears but only really have that problem when I go 1st to 2nd

I have the same problem too on my x yeah it's mostly in cold weather my 2nd and 3rd gear grind too!!! most likely it's normal !!!

All the Evo transmission feel like shit when cold, but if it's still grinding when warm you should have SCM take a look at it.

This is a normal condition on the evo x/ 1st to 2nd gear shift, and 2nd to 3rd. That doesn't mean it's a good thing. I took mine to SCM-Rigo. He changed the fluid with Syncromesh II and the problem is gone. Simple.

how much did they charge you do add the fluid?
labor: $35.00
parts/trans fluid: $39.81
misc charge: $1.95
tax: $3.49
total: $80.25

[evoenthusiast]

I have the same problem. probably gonna take into SCM. did u take it in man?

[demetry14]

mine were like that and then started grinding. Long story short, the syncro's needed to be replaced.

[edgardpanamanunez]

ive been hearing a lot of people having the rough 3rd gear issue, mine is as well, it even slips here and there
