2004 wrx Gearbox problems
I can only get 1st gear with a lot of force and 2nd is only a bit better - wife cant get 1st at all
3rd - 5th easy
Is this normal on a car that has only done 18k miles on a 2004 plate?
As it was bought in May 2004 and is over 1 year old will there be any issue with warranty?
Also as I live in central London I'm surprised at the total lack of Subaru dealers - i.e. none - I'm going to look on the West side - who is better between Maidenhead or Reading or Surrey dealers.
I think the synchro has failed...... after a few rapid starts at junctions!
It does surprise me as I have a 1999 sti5 that has never had any gearbox issues - is the Syncro on WRX's much weaker than the sti's?
3rd - 5th easy
