yeah well if your still stock bring it back to the dealer and let them know its a simple fix. If your not stock then just play with the clutch engament. I had the 5th gear grind in my 05 luckly at the time i was stock and brought it back to the dealership but they fixed it in about 5 mins and it turned out it was something i could do myself.

Pennzoil Synchromesh or Bg synchroshift are not additives, they are trans fluids that you replace. Go with the Bg synchroshift I heard better things about it. I think Lancershop.com has BG but iam not sure.

Use Royal Purple 75W90 and I bet your problem will be solved. A customer of ours couldn't go from 1st to 2nd above 5000RPM without grinding. Put in Royal Purple and 7800RPM shifts are no problem. I have used it in both of my Evos and every customer car we do a clutch job on. Never had a grinding problem even with the ATS clutch. Check out our website for the fluid if you can't find it locally. We stock it.
