About a week ago i noticed problem with the 2nd gear which is very hard to get into when the car is cold. i replaced the tranny fluid with the Royal Purple Synthetic Max-Gear Oil 75W90 thinking it would fix the problem but it didnt go away. The rest of the gears isn't so bad compering to the second which even makes the clunk noise when shifted from 1st to 2nd. Any suggestions what could be going wrong ?? i hope it is not the synchros because Im a poor student and this would be out of my budged.

 

yeah my 2nd gear went out aswell... so im replacing the whole tranny i found one with 6800 miles on it for 600$ and im getting a stage 2 clutch from roadrace motorsports aswell.. ive heard that 2nd gear synchros on these lancers are pretty weak i guess we gotta be easy on them lol

 

How many miles did you have on the car when the 2nd gear want out ??
