Whats up guys new to the forum and wanted to let you guys know that mitsu. has mad new synchro's for our cars. I was in the dealership the other day and the service manager was getting a fax about it. My parts are almost all in and I also get a rental car, my cars synchro's are going out between 4 and 5th.

That's old news I think. My car developed problems going from 4th to 5th at around 3000 miles, and I had the 5th gear synchro replaced on warranty... Don't remember if there was a TSB number for the problem but it's well-known.

Welcome to the site, by the way! :D

I'm curious about the build dates of cars experiencing the 5th gear synchro problems. Mine was built in Oct 2003 and I have 10k miles with no problems so far.

I have heard that Evos produced after 12/31/03 has the new synchro, and got a new part number for the transmission.

Mine was made May 03, I guess, and I haven't had any problem shifting to 5th gear so far. I have 9200 miles.

Are we supposed to have problems? Or Is it more like a manufacturing defect? :roll: I don't think they will replace the synchro before any problem occurs, because it's not a recall campaign.

I seem to be having an intermittent 1st to 2nd synchro problem. My service manager mentioned that maybe 'I' was the problem, in that I wasn't pushing the clutch to the floor, but I'm totally used to the car now and it still sometimes happens....

had it with my 5th gear. had to show the service manager the problem since they couldn't recreate it. use to have a problem going into 2nd but, i think it was my fault trying to shift to fast. if you can recreate the problem consistently then i would say its your syncro, then show your service manager.
