Default Stiff Gear Change

Hi,

Im new to this site and subaru's, i am about to purchase a 1999 legacy 2.0 manual. It has a a stiff gear throw, is this normal? It seems to go into gears ok with no crunching but is the stiffest gearbox ive driven.
Any ideas will be good because im probably gonna go get it tomorrow.

Thanks

Marc
