Recently my 1st gear feels kinda of weird when i start off from a complete stop. When i start off it feels like it isnt grippinng like a little bump or something i cant describe it. For me to avoid it i have to rev a little higher. Iono i didnt notice it before and now i notice it everytime i come from a stop. Is it my clutch or my tc? or something else. Everything is stock .

Perhaps a bearing on the way out/collapsing ? That would be my guess anyway

sounds like your clutch is worn a little

I think if you explained the problem with a little bit more detail we could be of more help to you. I still dont get whats going on.. Does it feel like your clutch is slipping?

this may be just me but whenever my Evo is almost due for an oil change, the clutch is hard to grip/engage. Are you due for an oil change?

LOL @ Nebo!

My_EVO, sounds like clutch chatter. The disk is warped a little. Pretty normal for cars that have been driven hard. Mine does it as do a bunch of others. :wink:

If you keep going at the same speed, do you start to hear a really loud clanking sound? If so, I think it is clutch chatter. I've had that one both Evos, and I always get it in 1st gear in the morning after I back out of the garage. I can get around the chatter by burning the clutch just a little. :shock:

Ya, sounds like clutch chatter. Mine does the same, seems to go away once the car is really warmed up though.

have the same problem here too and to add up, my gearing feels notchy on occasions wether it be the 1st, 3rd-4th or in reverse. i've been dealing with this issue for certain number of months now.

do you guys think that i should go to a dealer for warranty service or just wait for my 30k service (which includes tranny fluid change) which is due 4 mos. from now.

TIA 8)
