TedZ Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Hi all, This is a great forum. I have a new-to-me 1996 Legacy wagon. The transmission works fine but shifting is "different" due to a very large amount of side to side gearshift play. Is this a problem that can be remedied with access by removing the console or is this a condition that develops in high milage trannys that is internal and requires transmission removal. Thanks.

Handtool Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 The bushings in the linkage get worn. My '95 has the same problem. Here's a link with some links. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=48436&highlight=shift%2A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedZ Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 Thanks...that helps a lot. I searched for "gearshift play" before posting but that was not creative enough! Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
