idosubaru Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 post in the proper forum - "old generation" probably for a brat. a mod may move it sometimes to the proper forum. describe the issue in the title, "help" for a title doesn't help you or anyone else. there's an edit feature so you could actually update the title of your original post. as for the clutch, is it a hard time always getting it in 4th gear, will it go in to gear if you double clutch it? is the shifter sloppy? have you checked the fluid or changed it? a synthetic fluid might help smooth things out a bit. synchro's are probably sloppy? and for your parts needs: update your location - at least what state your in, that's helps folks decide if it's even worth discussing large parts like wheels/fenders/etc. there's also a parts wanted forum, you could post a separate thread there for brat parts indicating exactly what you're looking for.

edrach Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 seem like need to new repair of synchronizer ring or sleeve because of there already worn out into transmission. :-\Redline 75W-90NS will often save worn synchros. I had over 250K on our old Impreza and the NS gearoil eliminated all the synchro crunch. How old is your transmission; very unusual for 4th gear synchro to be worn without 2nd or 3rd showing symptoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
