Hi
I have a 1995 Mitsubishi FTO (front-drive sports car with 2.0l V6 engine). It uses the F5M42 five-speed manual transmission, as used on many other Mitsubishi cars.
The car has only covered 20,000 miles before I bought it and generally is in excellent condition. I have one problem in that the gearshift
1-2 and 2-3 is very notchy. 2-3 grinds if I shift quickly; its OK if I pause in neutral for a second. Strangly, I can do a fast 4-3 downshift with no problems at all. Shifting 2-1 is very difficult unless the car is stationary.I have chnaged the transmission fluid to Redline MT90, but it is no better.
Any suggestions for improving my gearshift performance, short of pulling the 'box apart for new synchros?
