HELP! Evo5 Gearbox. Take a look please..

[Jin2244]

I own a Mitsubishi Lancer 95,which the tail light same as Evo 4,5,6. Few months ago I had bought a Evo5 halfcut,and I thought it totally fit my lancer,eventually it doesn't. Now my car only running on 2wd,and without brembo at rear. Few days ago,my car broke down. And after my friend takes my gearbox out of the car,we found that..I don't know what we call that,might be the "shaft" inside the gearbox has snap into two. and the thing on the other picture,we custom made it.

My Question is..
1.Evo5 lock 4wd,the power will be less 50% ? (like what my friend locked,the power of the car is powerful,but he told me the "shaft" cannot stand for too long. unless i drive slowly,then it won't snap into two.)

2.One of mechanic which is from KL want to charges me RM800 for locking 4wd. and he said the power of my car will not be less than current,and the "shaft" will not snap into two like now. Is that believable?

3.Anyone faces the same case like me? Or anyone driving evo 4,5,6,waja with evo engine which is running on 2wd,so far your car got any problems?

I afraid that after I let the KL mechanic lock the gear,my car left 50% of power. My friend told me one idea which my "shaft" won't snap into two,but my car has only 50% of power. How to make it 2wd and also with 100% of power?

Please give me some idea,thanks alot!

err no such thing la bro , the evo5 gb if locked to 2wd will deliver jst as it supposed to
my mech changes much lesser than tht, not more than rm300 to lock it for evo456, its matter of opening and welding

I heard that evo1,2,3 lock 4wd are very easy,and the engine still afford to support 100% of power of the engine. But for evo4,5,6 might be a bit hard,because the "shaft" in the gearbox is only support the front,unlike evo1,2,3,they are sharing a "shaft" from front to back. That's why the "shaft" in evo4,5,6 could snap into two. am i correct?

for evo 4,5,6 is not locking on the gearbox but lock on the center diff, if previously thegearbox is lock on the gearbox are wrong.

Walao...Master Kit sudah Cakap...

[palama2661]

do it 4wd lah...buy the back cut also ...
fully convert then no problem will be happen again.

bro, locking the diff to front wheel only will not really cost that much, but that also depends on the workshop, i did mine around rm200, and plus, ur actually gonna lose lots of power and spoiled ur clutch without locking the gearbox, once lock, trust me, u can feel full response and power, mine had been running 2 years plus without any problem, just try not to launch, if can roll the car first then boost....

Lock on the center diff? I don't really understand,but the mechanic already done the locking system. Hopefully don't like what my friend told me,will be less 50% of response and power. The mechanic keep telling me won't won't won't,but i really afraid this will be happened.

I do think before,but now I don't want my family spend more money on this car anymore. If i knew that we have to spend that much of money,I'll rather buy a original evo. Sob..Do you know the back cut that you mentioned around how much?

I'm very confuse now. I think the first time my friend help me to lock 4wd is like what you did on your car,if possible try not to launch it,and only boost your car when your car is running. But this is not a ideal idea,my car only running for 3 months,then the "shaft" got twisted and snap into two. And the other way to lock is,just leave the "shaft" which connected to the back like that. Don't bother it,means when you are running your car,the "shaft" will be running too,but will not give the car any response. So the front will only running..Do you mind to give me your contact number? I would like to speak to you,because I wanna know more about things you said.

The transfer gear at the right hand side one is mine..Last time my mechanic cut away the shaft that i had highlight. See the different within the two transfer gear. and what is the use of the shaft? Is to push 4wd?

No,the first time I lock 4wd,my mechanic cut off the shaft. Now the KL mechanic told me that without the shaft I cannot lock 4wd (by his own way to lock,I don't know whether the way he lock is like the way your mechanic lock or not). So he ask me to buy a new transfer gear to lock. Another thing that makes me confuse is,after we lock 4wd,can we re-open it? Means now I lock 4wd,may be after few months,I want to make my car 4wd,can I re-open it?

It really depends how your mechanic lock your gearbox, some do it after shaft some b4. If u plan to quietly go 4WD i suggest u ask the mechanic doin it for u. But I think best is drive slow slow now, kautim jpj n all those stuff then only quietly 4WD.

 

[Jin2244]

The mechanic told me after lock 4wd,whenever i want to make my car to 4wd,it can be unlock. Is that true?
