Tranny Question

[2003eclipse]

03 3g 2.4 5spd manual

When I take off I can feel my stick hesitate and vibrate when im putting it into gear. 2nd and 3rd gear mostly noticeble in 4th and 5th also. would some redline tranny fluid help it out?
just let me know what you guys think it could be. if someone wants to drive it and feel for themselves let me know.

NO ADVICE?

i should rather say when i go up through the gears and also down shifting it acts up like that

There really isn't anything you can do. Try changing your fluid. The only other thing is to rebuild it and hope its better. Some cars are just kind of notchy. My Audi's tranny is so notchy it makes my Talon feel like a $100,000 car.

it could just be notchy but i let kiel (JDM) drive it once and thats when i noticed it hardcore. weird but true.

That was your mistake, letting JDM drive it, it will never run right again. Shit he shook Nashs hand yesterday and look what happened.

CRAIG

Has it had hard launches on it? Just guessing but your flywheel could be warped, hard to tell without seeing or feeling it first hand.

Well, its a 03...does your car NOT have a warranty???
why dont you just go to a mitsubishi dealer and see what they say?

it has 36,000 on it and i will most likely tear into it someday its such a basic car. whoa warped flywheel never thought of that seriously it has hard launches on it i told you i let jdm drive it. lol no i've raced it but usually i launch at 2200 rpm tops. but damn a flywheel would suck jut to fix something so simple i guess if you know what i mean. i'll try fluid first then go from there

i'm willing to let anyone drive it. that has more of an idea then i do.

The warranty is only 3/36k? If you are still under warranty Joe, take it in. You paid for it, may as well use it.

Has the fluid been changed in the tranny yet? The fluid SHOULD be changed yearly, but no one does that. I would say that is a good place to start becaue you can check the conditon of the fluid. There will some copper/brass material in the fluid. The copper/brass material is the soft metal used on the sychronizers, it is meant to wear away over time so that the gears do not grind when going into gear.
