Hello, I was just wondering if others who owned/own 03 WRXs have this same problem. I have a hard time..physically..going from 1st to 2nd alot of times especially at high RPMs. It almost fills like synchro is preventing me from going from 1 to 2. Is there common? and if so is there a fix for this?
SOG Said fluid wasn't the prob. I'm going to sog again tomorrow to get my wheel balanced, I'll talk to will about it i guess
I have never had a hard time shifting from 1 to 2, but always 2 to 1. I own a 03 also. You may have a problem with your second gear synchro, as this gear is probably the most abused out of any. I think you had mentioned this before on another thread, and I suggested checking the orientation of the washer. I believe you said that it was ok, and if thats the case, it really just leaves the synchro.
Trouble shifting down from 2 to 1 is normal. Sometimes I have issues putting it into first from a dead stop, but its pretty random. I have an 04. Im a shitty driver though.
His problem is from 1 to 2. The 2 to 1 has nothing to do with your driving ability. My tranny just munches on that change.
does it grab in first or just a kind of lockout of second? Mine is grabbing a bit coming out of first, and I haven't determined if I am shifting too early or if there is an actual issue yet.
I drove it today and me thinks its his imagination. It went 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1-R just fine. Even did several 1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2 actions and it was fine. Also, DeKalb Tire did a SUPER nice job (NOT!) of balancing his tires.
I have a good imagination what can I say +1 dekalb tires for replacing my tires -10 dekalb Tires for everything else they screwed up +10 WJM for fixing everything, everytime I screw up by not going to SOG haha
