Grinding Tranny on EVO X

[Platinum_Evo]

I just read the tranny problem topic but i did not finish. I had the same problem grinding BIG time shifting to 3rd gear. I brought it back to SC Mitsubishi and Warranty took care of it. It took about 1 week for them to order the part and now, all GOOD! Hope this help!

what part did they order?

[Platinum_Evo]

I am not sure. Let me look for the service receipt tomorrow.

If it comes back, you can try changing the fluid then run an RRE (or similar) clutch line which removes the pill and prevents the clutch for riding slightly (as it's set to from the factory).

As long as you're at it, you may as well switch to brass bushings on the linkage and shifter housing. This will make a noticeable difference in how the car feels when you're shifting.

g/l. Hope the problem doesn't come back.

id like to know what they swapped out, i have been having slight notchy grind feel ever since i got the car, i was told normal from a few evo owners, but im sure this is NOT normal. soon will make and appt for SCM to take a look and FEEL my grindy/notchy feel in 2nd and 3rd.

shit, i've noticed a slight grind going into 3rd also....Nice to hear its not just my imagination. I'm gonna have to take it in I guess.

lol ... so what is the thing that he replaced to fix his tranny issue?!?

[EvoHeaven]

That's what I'm curious about too. Also is this damaging the sychros or gears?

I also have this problem. I went to SCM to get it fixed and they said it's only a slight grind and it's nothing serious yet. They said it wasn't worth taking the transmission out and fixing it. They told me to come back when it became worse.

This is not right man. If it grinds mean something is wrong. I took it there and it was covered by warranty!

The fix Is GM Synrco Mesh Fluid at least that is how the fixed mine.

I get notchiness 2nd & 3rd and have a hard time getting into reverse when the car is barely warmed up. I had to put it into 1st then put it into reverse. When the car is at normal temperature, the car shifts smoothly

[TruSlide]

i made an appt to get mine looked at. Grinding is NOT normal. maybe they'll swap out the bushings for me too... O0

[blkEVO8]
