i have a slight grind going into 5th gear when i shift fast with the clutch all the way down.

the only way it wont grind is if i do it slow and left the rpm drop...


what is wrong?

btw : mods are kartboy shiftbushings (the ones that go on the base of the plastic cage) 2003 with 4k miles.

 

What year is your car?

 

i got that problem before, it oly happend at high rpm at high speed. it grind a little. so change all my fluid and drive the **** out the car and the next thing i know it went away. eitherway it's an TSB in the mitsubishi book.

 

Sounds like the synchros man. I am having mine replaced next Monday...same situation as you are describing

 

yep...that is it.... i wanna take my car to dealer before my warranty is over....but i m kinda skeptical about leave my car at dealer for couple of days for just fix 5th gear....and im afraid they might do something wrong while they are working on it...i would rather not let them touch anything. well....i ll just shift abit slower .....and you dont even use 5th gear at the 1/4 track anyways......

 

yeh, that's why I've been putting mine away.

5th gear only grinds at high speed shifting.

but I would rather have my transmission working 80% then having 100% be messed up by the dealership.

 

+1

 

Just bring it in and get it replaced under warranty, they did mine and i've got mods.

 

Adjust the rod at the pedal assembly for higher release point. If it helps, inadequate release is the problem. If it nets no improvement, then it is something else. Adjustment is definitely the first thing I would try.

 

^ Agreed...But it does sound like the syncro. From my experience once I had Mitsu rebuild my tranny (TSB Fix) it was worse. Some guys have had luck though. It will get worse if you dont fix it, so its up to you.

 

Just get your syncros fix right away, My TC and tranny was all replace under warranty a year ago. The more miles you tach on the more mitsu might think its abuse. You think couple of days are bad mine was at the dealership for almost a month.

 

damn... i cant have my car in the shop for that long.......

any good dealers in nyc? that will fix it right???
