Having not driven anone else's Scoob, I'm not sure whats "normal" and what isn't in terms of how the gearchange is.

The lever doesn't self-centre and it feels a bit stiff going into each gear (but equally stiff on each gear, so it's not one gear going out) also I get a crunch when changing from 5th to 4th everytime (tried heel and toe-ing and even double de-clutching but it always does it). Generally the lever feels a bit vague, not very Japanese.

Is all this normal and what can be done about it?

Cheers!

 

come on, 18 views and no one can tell me if their gearbox is sloppy?

 

mine self centre's (MY99 UK) but i have trouble getting into reverse all the time - i've heard they aren't the best gearbox's... and that other people have similar issues... but the not going back to the centre is worrying..

(P.S. - i aint no expert or mechanic - just my thoughts on the matter)

 

Hehe, I've given up worrying about reverse, I just figure it ain't syncromesh

I'm hoping I just have a worn lever linkage and a quickshifter will sort it, maybe.

 

took a couple of pictures while the gearbox was off (excuss the quality) it could be a couple of things

my MY96 WRX self centres, but 'glad' to hear the reverse isnt the best in other cars too.
