ive got an impreza wagon 1996 turbo2000 the gear leaver springs back to 3rd and 4th (the middle) if you pull it towards 5th and let go but if you push it towards 1st and 2nd and let go it dont. dose anyone know what the problem could be and what i need to fix it and what i need to do to fix it thanks si

 

There's a small spring that fixes on top of the gearbox. It goes from the selector to the bracket with a big rubber bush under it on the passenger side of the box.
£2 part from main dealer, i had to do mine last week.

 

how hard was it to do and what is involved in doing it p.s. thanks for the reply

 

5 minute job. Took longer to jack the car up. Put the spring on the selector first, then with a pliers pull the other end and clip it on the bracket with the bush under it.
