[tommybloxham]

hi there has any one had and problems with the gear box on a evo x fq- 300 mine takes ages to select reverse and when you put your foot down some times it cant get in gear and just reves i didnt no if im doing something wrong or if there was a problem

All Evo's and quite a few other cars can be really stiff on cold winter mornings , a change of oil may help but its often a case of "They all do that Sir"

[rsv gone!]

The manuals are certainly stiff (ooer) in the morning but are you talking about the auto box?

[tommybloxham]

yeah sorry its auto

If it's the auto, I would assume there's a problem with it. Presumably it's still under warranty, so take it back to Mitsi and have them fix it.

common issue, you just need to take your time stop properly before sticking into reverse. i've only had it once or twice so dont really think of it as a major problem.
