(complaint is applicable only to gsr trim equipped with a 5mt transmission) - difficulty shifting first to second gear, and second to third. Gearshift is notchy and hard to engage. Causes longer than desirable time-gap in power to the wheels, resulting in loss of speed during acceleration phase from a stop. - gearshift is not smooth in general. Keywords : notchy, grinding. - it is a widely reported problem in this particular model as evident from owner surveys on a prominent internet forum (see http://forums.evolutionm.net/evo-x-engine-turbo-drivetrain/333385-official-evo-x-notchy-grinding-transmission-thread.html).

A couple months ago, I noticed a squeaking sound coming from the passenger side of my engine when my car was idling. After the car warmed up (5-10 min), the sound would go away. The sound appeared to be belt related so I checked the serpentine (accessory) belt and noticed signs of wear and tear on the belt and the idler pulley . I changed the belt out (was close to recommended replacement date anyway) but the sound is still there. I searched the internet and found that this problem is quite common with 2006 evolution owners and there is no definite fix from the dealer. This needs to be addressed by the manufacturer because the wear and tear created by the belt/pulley (or whatever the culprit may be) could easily lead to a failure in one of the accessory systems (alternator, water pump, power steering) and could be dangerous to my car or even worse to me.

A strange "rubbing, grinding" noise coming from the timing belt area.

I first noticed that my 2006 mitsubishi lancer evolution rs started to make a grinding/scrapping noise that seemed to be generating from the timing belt area when my car had approximately 35,000 miles on the odometer. It seemed to be a noise that was present at idle and upon cold start ups and now occasionally I hear it even when the car is fully warmed up. I started to research this on various forums and internet, only to find that it was a common problem with a clear solution. There have been a few dealerships who have seemed to have resolved this issue but each fix seemed to vary within the timing belt area. The timing belt, sensor blade, tensioner, tensioner pulleys, etc. Have been known to cause this issue. This car is my daily driver and about 90% of the times my kids are in this car with me. It would be terrible if my engine breaks down on me while driving around with my kids in the car. This can be a dangerous problem. I urge mitsubishi to strongly consider a recall for this. With such an amazing car I would hope mitsubishi would standby it and do the right thing!

I drove my car 3.5 hrs to an outstanding mitsubishi dealership which could not diagnosis my problem. It appears that the drive made whatever it was go away for the moment. This scares me!

I bought my 2003 mitsubishi evo shortly after returning from a tour in iraq in 2006, after a short time of driving the car I noticed a grinding sound coming from the car when I let the clutch out in 1st gear, and now reverse as well. I bought the car under original factory warranty and went as far as to purchase the platnum extended warranty. After replacing thousands of dollars in parts on my car it has come down to the clutch, which is a wear item and not covered. The more disturbing portion of this is that I was told on my second visit to the dealership for this problem that the car was sold to me with an aftermarket clutch, and that should have voided the original factory warranty in the first place, to include my extended warranty as well. Now I am stuck with this problem and have to look for legal assistance.
