Manual trans not 100% smoothe
Hey Club CJ'ers, long time no see
My 2010 CJ VRX has from new has had rather average gearbox feel.
I have driven a few different kinds of vehicles and not many with similar age behave like the manual 'box in my lancer does. Even the ES manual I had before had the same feel.
I'll attempt to explain....
Sometimes won't go into 1st gear from stationary (synchro misalignment) but engages upon clutch release then try again.
Driving - Changing into second feels a bit crunchy at times, rip it through and it has no choice (99% of the time I drive like grandad) but driving sedately it sometime baulks and feels "crunchy"
Going through the ratios, 3rd sometimes feels like 2nd. Fifth is also not smoothe, it resists.
Coming down through the gears 4th to 3rd is sometimes a gritty affairs.
Mentioned all of this to the mlitsi service people
and got _0.
Got 35K on the clock
Cheers
Anyone else having same prob

going into reverse with mine is a bit rough unless i am really gentle.
every now and then while driving 'agressively' it wont go into third smoothly but maybe i just cant drive
other than that if i just cruise around i have no issues with the gearbox

same problems with 1st and reverse, and occasionally third, you're not alone, friend
88XXX kms on the clock, has been like this since day one.
it's just the mitsu gearbox unforunately, can be annoying and potentially dangerous when you're going for a sneaky 3-point manouevre and reverse refuses to slide in...

I'm not sure how you would fix it sorry. if you shift high from first (4500 rpm) and don't dump the clutch then you can negate most of the jerkiness. but it doesn't really bother me all that much anymore as it doesn't happen every time i shift up to second and it only tends to happen a lot when the gearbox is cold.
Maybe you guys need to change the transmission oil. Use the synthetic transmission oil as opposed to the mitsu one.
Either that or you may be able to tighten the tension on gearshift cable.

Wow,
All of this seems a bit strange to me, EVERY Lancer Reviewer since these CJ cars came out in late 2007 had nothing but VERY good things to say about this manual trans.
It has been good to me. Sometimes needs a second attempt & to reengage clutch to go into reverse but that's about it.
i had that same prob on my Eclipse GST turbo in the US too.
May be the way you guys are driving them.![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
