Ok i have a problem with my 96 talon tsi awd manual i just got a remanufactered transmission from mitsubishi graveyard and i put it in like a week ago. Everything did work fine but now i have some trouble with the reverse it doesnt have it it doesnt even fell like theres a slot for it. I was driving earlyer yesterday and i backed out of my driveway and it was fine parked it and it didnt have reverse anymore, plus my fifth gear only stays in if i'm on the gas if i let go of the gas it pops out. Please give me some info on how to fix this beast, i really like driving it but it just wants to keep crapping on me.

Did you re adjust your clutch peddle? If your clutch does not fully disengage, it will not let you into reverse. Also, try putting it into 1st gear first then reverse.

My clutch is really touchy, it engauges right when you let your foot off the petal. O and now my fifth gear is completely gone since i let my brother drive it, all you hear is grinding, this is what he said (Its fast but your fifth gear dont work.)

Like Bode said, first, try adjusting the master cylinder rod on the clutch pedal. I believe you adjust it out if it's grabbing too close to the floor. Then come back and tell us your findings.

5th gear popping out is a transmission assembly issue. There is a nut that holds the gear stacks together, that backed off.
Not even feeling the reverse slot is usually an assembly issue. The bolt that holds the reverse gear "assembly" in place could be missing or backed off as well.

99% of the time those 2 problems are transmission assembly issues. Clutch adjustment issues effect ALL gears, not just reverse.

So are the nuts your talking about the ones on the outside like it you took off the cover plate just tight those bolts?

Take off the end cover, there are 2 36?mm nuts. Those are suspose to be tightened and then "dented" so they don't back off.

Just curious what your "rebuild" consisted of? Also, was it a fresh rebuild or was it a used tranny that had been rebuilt at one time?

I googled mitsubishi graveyard and didnt see anything on their site regarding rebuilding services.

This tranny was on there ebay store they say they take them apart and replace any worn parts gaskets, seals, bearings, gears, syncros and such. You can tell its been apart it has liquid gasket maker for the case seals, and the drive shaft seals are new.
