Syncro's/rough shifts.
Ok guys my syncro's have been crunching since the day of purchase, as soon as I drove the car off the showroom floor they've literally been popping and crunching, my shifts aren't smooth no matter what I do with the clutch, is there any way the syncro's could be affecting the cars shifting performance? Any advice would be great!!!
BTW, the clutch is not slipping, my rpm don't float and the clutch grabs rather nicely, however no matter what the car always chatters from 1st to 2nd gear (slow or fast clutch release) and the syncro's pop every time you go from 2nd to 3rd esp. in this colder winter weather, even after I let the car set and warm up for over 10 minutes. The car shifts like a dream from 4 to 5, I just don't understand what's going on?
The dealer is trying to tell me it's a characteristic of all EVO's???

In any case, here's what you need to do in the meantime: shift it very slowly to minimize the crunch while the car is still cold, then after about 10 minutes of DRIVING (not idling, as it does nothing for warming up the transmission fluid), shift firmly and quickly. As someone else said, shift it like you mean it, and it will drop in much smoother. Don't slam it or anything, but just be firm. Hope this helps...
