Hi RPM Grind into 5th Options

[Kazz5]

It just started on my '03 Evo. She's got just over 24K on the odo.

C'mon, it's not like I've ever BLOWN a shift into 5th for God's sake - wtf? I imagine it's out of warranty and that they'll gripe about doing it anyway, but...

is this a common DSM thing?

Thanks...

I'm gonna show all my automotive ignorance all at once.

It ain't the oil pan, I at least know that - that's on the passenger side.

The leak is directly in front of the driver's feet. Two housings come together with a number of bolts. Seems to be coming either from the bottom, lowest bolt but more likely it's collecting there from the fitment of the two pieces themselves... dunno if that helps you visualize or not. There's a drain plug (?) above that bolt but no evidence of leakage from it. With the new grind into 5th gear we're assuming it's all related at the moment.

Again, I had the clutch replaced, didn't do it myself. I'll take it to them ASAP, which, unfortunately, ain't soon enough for my taste but, hey, what can ya do? Work sucks and so far it's very driveable. I assume proper procedures were followed. I just hate crackin' it open again if it's the same location.

Thanks!
