775evo

iTrader: (5)

Well hello forums! I purchased my evo for 14k about 2 months ago, it has 56700 miles clean title and runs good. I recently had it tuned, and now it is at 365hp or 290whp! when I purchased it, it had a weird whining noise in the first gear maybe transfer case? also when I get on the evo, I shift into fifth and it will do a slight grind but if I go slowly into 5th there is no problem?

I have no idea, the car was only driven 500 miles in the year the guy had it, due to him not even having his license and he purchased it from a friend.

I did however, purchase some tranny fluid, rear diff and transfer case fluid!

please help, thanks in advance!

You just described my car and I have an 03 with 108k miles on it. Fast shifts into 5th grind but otherwise it's fine.

A whine in 1st is very normal but can also be the signs of a transfer case slowly going bad if it's really loud. But a decent whine is normal.

everything you described is perfectly normal in these cars. welcomes to evos
