Default Difficult reverse
I've got a My55 WRX and selecting reverse gear is becoming more and more difficult to select.

The gearbox can never exactly be described as slick.

Just wondered if anyone else has a notchy box

Thats just way subarus are. Get into habit of going 2nd Revese. This will solve this problem.

Had my classic 3 years and its always been pretty reluctant to go into reverse.

Few pumps of the pedal and she slips straight in

Cheers all.

I'll give the 2nd gear first a go tomorrow.

It would seem it's not exactly uncommon then

my classic is just as bad - the scraunching sound seems to be part and parcel of the reverse gear when used with the depression of the clutch
