anyone else have this problem?

this all started to happen after i got my 5th geer fixed.... the dealer said it supposed to be like that, but i have second thoughts... should i change gear oil?

 

lol the dealer said that it is suppose to grind going into second??

 

lol... i think im going to try to bring it to a different dealer...

 

I brought that issue up to my dealer too, they gave me a hard time about it. I am going to try a different dealer too.

 

It should never grind, man, unless you screw up the shift, which I doubt you are doing. Now notchiness, thats a different story, but it shouldnt grind.

You can go ahead and change the gear oil but thats prolly masking the problem. You shouldnt have to change trans and diff oil more than once every 20-30k miles under normal to spirited driving conditions.

 

it shouldnt grind, 21K miles never one grind!

 

thats happening to my car going to 5th gear also im going to change the transmision oil and clutch line the should fix it

 

is your Evo an 03'?

 

Second gear is a stiffer cold than warmed up, maybe that is what is going on.

 

Your 2nd gear synchro might be going bad. Tell us the conditions it happens in, because a little grind going into 2nd is normal when the weather is cold and the tranny fluid hasn't heated up. Its a very gut wrenching sound

 

i had 5th grind, untill i changed trans fluid to pennzoil syncromesh . I will be canging to b g syncroshift 2 before winter.

 

I have the 5th gear grind and revese gear also!!...could that be a clutch issue?...some adjustment issue prolly...I couldnt really abuse the 5th AND reverse

Waz

 

mine grinds going into second if i shift at like 7500 rpms, its never doen it if i shift at 6800 or 7000 though

 

your syncros arent dis engauging properly, get a better fluid it will help if not fix your problem.

 

the car is a 03 with 15k miles. i had the 5th gear syncro replaced underwarranty. the shifts are horrible when its cold, but even when its warmed up it grinds. when i beat on the car it shifts fine but when i baby it, it grinds ( go figure )...

the car has no engine mods since day 1. i was waiting for the warranty to expire before i do anything (bad past experience with my wrx) what i do have is kartboy base bushings but i dont see that doing anything other then changing the fell of the shift.

i dont know if dsm guys use this stuff called neo syncro (ill do a search) i heard it do wonders... ....
