Bought an MY98 Impreza Sport from a Subaru dealer late last year.
It's got 71k on the clock and has full Subaru warranty.

When I picked it up the dealer said that synchro crunch in 1st/2nd was something I will have to live with due to the mileage ?!

Is this correct or should a main dealer fix this under warranty ?

Any help would be appreciated

 

try double de-clutching for a bit? see if this prevents it...if it does then you may be beating the syncro by shifting too fast...if not try your dealer..

 

If it has a warranty then it should be fixed.

Don't take no for an answer.

 

Thanks peeps, booked in tomorrow for 'another' Subaru main dealer to inspect. Fingers crossed

Richard, tried your sugesstion, but doesn't seem to make any difference ?

 

If you're double declutching properly you should be able to to make crunchless gearchanges even without a clutch (IYSWIM)

Maybe, I'll try it again then.

Is there anything about limited mileage in the standard warranty description ?
