Help needed identifying gearbox fault
Hi this is the story pulling away from lights in my 1997 wrx wagon and when I shift to 3rd gear there is nothing there gearstick gone all loose floppy then all of a sudden it finds 3rd gear there were no bangs or any noises I managed to drive home 10 miles with no whines or noises drives as good as always but just in 3rd gear now it's stuck in 3rd gearstick goes up and down but not sideways and feels like it's not connected to anything. Any ideas on my problem would be highly appreciated thanks in advance

get underneath her - youl soon see if linkage is gone
fingers crossed for you m8 as thats the best outcome - the rest are a lot scarier

Hi just had a look under car linkage seems ok it is moving inside the gearbox Had a look under the intercooler and there is a rod which is loose by the spring not a very good description but I think the fault is inside the gearbox. Any ideas cheers

thats the fork that hold the clutch release bearing - its pushed by the clutch slave cylinder - the spring you are seeing is to help it return - im afraid its sounding like an internal fault - if you drop the prop shaft and take of the gearbox support beam ( with a jack supporting the gearbox )youl get a much better look at the linkage m8 and see whats going on
