A lot of misinformation
Do a search on me and read all my different tranny issues.
1. If your car moves when you put it in gear, then the clutch is not fully disengaging from the flywheel. Not being able to put it in reverse easily is the first sign of this. Readjust the clutch and rebleed the clutch line. You may have to do this multiple times to get it right.
2. Notchiness - this is a result of the synchos in the transmission. Some slight notchiness is normal. If its constant it's not normal. Shifter bushings will not help notchiness.
3. Get some graphite and put it into your ignition. They sell this at pepboys and such.

as far as the reverse its because its awd. if it was a mustang it would be different but you have all 4 wheels moving at the same time so you have to line everything up. try going from 3rd to reverse next time and see if that helps. i just got into the habit of going from 3rd to reverse and i never notice any reverse problems.
but yeah to agree with everybody else the evo is as tempermental as a pregnant woman

i have they same problem as #4 except sometimes with first gear. i just got into the habit of going from five right into reverse. i thought it was just my car cuz the guy that did my motor swap beat on the tranny so much cuz he forgot to take off the throw out bearing lock washer. he hit on it so much he had to replace the clutch. so i figured he did other damage and havent had it in to be fixed.
my car nudges forward too when i put it in first. not sure if thats normal or something isnt right with my clutch.
any of you with a new clutch have problems going into reverse?

yea i agree with number 4 for sure...and i get the wirling noise when i downshift into first with the clutch pressed in. and also idk if this is common with these cars or if its just mine...but my car seems to buck whenever i shift/downshift. 9 times outta 10 it will buck even a little, even if i granny shift.
