you got brand new 05 ?? mine does the EXACT as yours and mine is new 05 .. and the tech told me shift all my gears at 4k rpm above .. kinda BS .....

Has anyone experienced the notchiness, over time, turning into a grind? I have an '03 (with only 23,000 mile) and experience the notchiness, especially when it is cold. When warm it occasionally notches.
I am scared of the notch turning into grind and the warranty running out.

Had my 03 with my 5th being notchy. Eventually it did turn into a grind, but traded in the vehicle before anything else went. It grinded when it was cold, warm, when I put it in slow, when I put it in fast, when I put in low rpm and high rpm. This is one of the reasons why I might not purchase another EVO I am tired of paying 27K+(depending on the model) and having issues that we should not have! If I do purchase another EVO, it will be used and I am going to redue everything, especially the tranny and clutch. No use in buying a brand new vehicle and having to do all of that right away. Just my .02

I called a few dealers and they said to bring it in. One said it might have something to do with the clutch. The subtitle under his statement was:"I'm going to try to blame you for a flawed synchro." He went on to say that they will remove the clutch first and if its ok they will tear down the tranny and see if everything is ok. I will give it a few more thousand miles and see if it gets worse. Bothersome though that this could occur at 23,000. Makes me wonder how the rest of the car will last. I'll keep you all posted.

Another gentleman, on another thread, was kind enough to direct us to it:
