You sure are demanding for someone who was being completely stupid by doing top-end runs, not to mention losing tons of money by trading in a new car on another new car. There is no simple explanation for why you don't have 6th gear. Sorry, but that's just the way it is.

Do you normally drive with your hand resting on the shifter? It is possible, even with very low mileage, to bend some forks and screw-up some synchros just by resting your hand on the shifter or shifting too hard.

Some Mitsu techs and other decent tranny guys that I know all say the same thing. Keep your hand off it so that you are not putting unwanted stress on the forks, cables, etc., etc. I use to be one of those guys who just thought that Evo trannies were garbage,(still kinda do) but after the 3rd rebuild, even when going easy on it, I decided it was probably the way I drive. Havn't rested the hand there ever since and havn't had any problems.
