Tranny help asap

Okay I've bleed my clutch and adjusted the linkage under the dash , clutch is catching about half way up on the pedal feels good with no air bubbles. When car is cold and as not been running ,  I can't up shift to 2nd nor can i down shift to 2nd . Once car is totaly warmed up . Say like 10 miles put on it and temp is up the car shifts alittle better into 2nd , but still alittle notchy and some grinding. to me sounds like 2nd gear syncro is shot. This is my 2003 Evo , only 30K on it. , but when i bought it the previous owner never had any of the fluids changed ie tc , rear diff , and tc. I only got one month left on my power train warranty. 5 year / 60,000 mile warranty right. All i got is in an intake installed. I probley will put the stock one back in before i take it down so they can't void my warranty. My question is does this sound like my pressure plate/cutch is shot or the tranny just didn't like not having its fluid changed and caused this.

Its sounds like you have a bad syncro, changing fluids wont change much expecially since its only got 30k miles.  You dont have to change the fluid in the trans or diff often, its kind of like every 100k miles or so.  Abuse probably took out the syncro.

Put your car back to stock and go to mitsu with it and get it rebuilt

Mitsu will rebuild it? not just put in a new one? emonz57

actually this is incorrect on an evo. I dont know exactly how often to it but its alot more then this with an evo. I think the general rule of thumb is every other oil change to be on the safe side

every 6k for the Tcase and tranny and every 12k for the rear end.   That goes for most vehilces.  100k you must be on crack that is such a bad idea.  yea you can do it but your not doing yourself any favors.  think about it it work very much the same as motor oil cept it needs to be even thicker than motor oil,  would you leave motor oil in your car for 20k miles lol.  you prob can but its not a very wise choise

Okay just got my car back and they say nothing is wrong , evo's around 30k suppose to shift like that . They all shift alittle notchy till they warm up then shift smooth. I call bullshit , but i don't know what else to do. I'm running the standard GL4 mitsu tranny fluid , would changing it to BG Syncro shift II make a big difference ? could be a bad clutch?

They are all very notchy even when warmed up.   My car was 10x smoother though with the BG syncroshift in it

okay thanks. thats def helps alot. Now with the stock clutch over aftermarket. I honestly don't think i'm getting full release on the clutch was i can feel the gears dragging and the syncro's working overtime. I know u suggest the the exedy twin disc , but I honestly don't got that kinda money and done some reasch and clutch master makes a decent clutch . So i'll more then likely for now go with the stage 1 clutch from them. would u go kevlar or stick to an organic disc and sprung hub or non sprug hub?

I would recommend going with a ACT setup if not a twin disc.  ACT's are very good you just cant always rev up to 7800-8000 RPMS and make shifts.  My suggestion is that because then you have a clutch capible of holding power so when you mod the car the clutch will always be ready.  I mean you can get one that is a decent price range and be able to hold you way up and over 400HP most likly
 
Clutchmasters is not a brand you hear of often when talking about Evo that is why I say go ACT because at least half of the Evo world runs ACT regularly its just the more HP you go and higher revs you want the more youll need a multi disc

good to know. okay well on lancershop they got an act clutch and flywheel kit
 
The ACT Street EVO kit will hold up to 497LBS Torque. This is a full clutch kit, Includes street clutch disc, heavy duty pressure plate, alignment tool, act streetlight flywheel and throw out bearing. This clutch kit will easily hold 450+ HP.  $767 bucks.
 
Now is it worth upgrading the flywheel . The stock flywheel is 13.9lbs and the act flywheel in the kit is 13lbs. now .9 lbs basicly 1lb isn't much or is it. So should i just do the clutch or good deal to do the fly wheel and clutch kit.
