Thanks for the help.
Might just put up with it for a while or more to the point when i can afford it! Did notice bubbles in the oil when i checked it though.Maybe somebody before me had put a non-synthetic oil in there before and i assumed he/she had!
Many thanks

It can be fixed in Situ, Just approach any decent subaru specialist.
I know a place near reading, if you dont mind travelling 100 miles.

Had the same problem on my00... then 5th went all together... this resulted in a gearbox rebuild with a few other bits... Teg Sport rebuilt it for £350 quid...
Got a MY98 Type R now... that does the same in 4th and 5th, so guess what, it's gonna need a rebuild...
Gonna concentrate on my engine rebuild first though...

£350 was a price for parts and labour for fixing the box...
I had the gearbox took off and drove it up to them... they had it for 2-3 days... Were quite busy...
