Mine is crunchy when it is cold, but I think all Evos are. I just place the gears and take it easy - then once it warms up, it is smooth. I don't see how adjusting the clutcj could remedy this. But I do see how beating on a cold car and slamming gears could wear it out quicker - no matter what mods you do.

I turned it one full turn.
The reason this helps is because when the clutch is not fully dis-engaged the gear does grab just a little bit going into gear in return, causing a slight grinding.
I've had an 03 which did the same thing.
Once I adjusted the clutch rod, it went away completely.
I am not saying this happens on all evos but a lot of them are having this problem.
It's simple to do.
It it helps great, if it does not take to the dealer and have them look at it.
Just trying to be of some help to fellow evo owners having same problem I had.

Never took mine over 7,000 never speed shifted, tried double clutch, slow shift, pressing the pedal throug the floor board etc, etc. If the clutch does not fully disengage, you will most likely grind. If the clutch is dragging it will keep the syncros from doing there thing and slowing down the gears so they can mate up.
Clutch adjustment solved all the problems on my car, but I did not try that till last, should have done it first, now my suncros are worn and I'm talking to the dealer about getting them replaced since I took it in several times complaining about the problem and they never bothered to check the pedal height either, they even replaced the clutch at 10,000 miles and did not re-adjust the pedal height.

this could very well be a possible fix for the notchiness, but why does everyone else not need to do this in order to drive their evos without grinds. i haven't met a person who knows how to drive stick who isn't able to adjust their driving style for different kinds of cars and their respective manual transmissions.

I have been thinking about adjusting the clutch pedal free play, and now that I've seen this thread, I'm definitely going to try it.

I dont know how this thread became a argumentive post.
All I was trying to do was help fellow evo owners with some of the same problems I've had.
It's not my driving style or how I drive. That's a fact on my part.
Now I dont know about other peoples situation but there are defenitly others that are having same issues.
I just started this thread in hopes to help some of this problems, not to have any negative posts by someone else (llxzxll).
I respect others input on this as I do yours, but just coming out and telling people to change their driving style is giving them failed advice for I have tried this already.
Like the other guy said, I've tried shifting very slowly in hopes that it does not grined but it grinded no matter what I did.
The problem went away completely after adjusting the clutch rod.
This is the only reason why I started a thread saying " possible remedy", not a complete fix.
If you are still grinding after the rod has been adjusted, then I would suggest you take it to a mechanic or to a dealer if you still have warranty.
Remember, this post is just a suggestion. If you dont think it's going to resolve the problem, dont do it that's all.

"I don’t know how this thread became a argumentive post."
19psi,
This happens when you have ppl posting that don't know that much about these cars.
I've owned everything from the '91 GSX/GST, 95 GSX and all of my cars required periodic clutch adjustments. Also, the amount of adj varies from car to car, especially with aftermarket clutches.
Man... We need to invent Bullsh|t filters. We'd be set!
