3rd Gear Grinding?
Hello everyone,
Newbie here. I got my IX a few months ago and I noticed something weird happening. When shifting into 3rd my clutch has to be pushed hard to the floor, otherwise it will grind a little. This is definitly not normal, right? btw, I have about 4000 miles on the car, all originally mine. Thank you in advance.

Overall the Evo likes to have the clutch to the floor to shift. It's the same with my '03, especially on the 1st to 2nd shift. It's most likely normal, but like Aux. said, take it in if you think it's not right.
