This sounds like a linkage problem to me.

 

Especially in NY where the salt is bad, stuff underneath gets rusty.

 

I'd start by inspecting the bushings in the shifter.

i have a feeling that its the problem but i need some one who can do it for me since i dont know anything about trannys

If it's the linkage, which it sounds like, it's actually external to the tranny.

 

Try a search here under "Shifter Bushings" so at least you'll have some basic knowledge of the problem area when you talk to a mechanic.

What year?

its a 97 impreza outback wagon sport 2.2 l

This is something any shop can handle

 

I am asuming this is a manual. I prefer Metric but there is a sooby shop www.donaldsonsvw.com

Call them in advance, they should be able to do it in a day.

 

How old is the clutch?

I use a guy in Syosset - Al at Centre Auto on Underhill Rd near the LIRR Station. He fixed my tranny and other problems. (I think they changed their name but I don't remember it)
