Hey All,

I've got a late '99 (newish shaped model) Legacy 2.5. The problem is that it doesn't engage first gear when setting off: often there's a long pause and even more often it doesn't engage unless I hold the revs at about 1500 - 2000 rpm when it suddenly kicks in to place.

So, this has got steadily worse and yesterday it took about 5 mins to engage drive. I've rang a couple of places up and they're quoting over 2k to take the gear box out and sort it out.

Now, I've also had a breakers "Japenese Parts Centre" ring up with a quote of £488 all in for a gear box off a 98 model. He quoted engine number EG25 and said you get 1 months guarantee. I'd then get a local garage to fit it.
Anyone any experience with this place?

Can anyone reccomend someone near Woking, Surrey who can sort this out?

Cheers

Robin

Have you checked the transmission fluid level? This might affect the way it works.
