ok. just got my new clutch in a month ago or so. when ever i try to go over to reverse it is really hard. i feel like im going to break it! no problem going into any gear just getting over there. any hints?
Yeah, what kind of clutch, stock? I have an 02 my stock clutch is still good, but 1st and reverse still and always have required the double pump depending on the weather a single or triple pump is appropriate. Hydrolic systems, seem to me, to be more barometric pressure sensitive and with Suby's you have the syncro issues as well depending on the year.
FWIW, my 03 forester did this and so does my current car. My dad used to complain about how difficult reverse was. I think the manual to the 08s even addresses it; something like "If engaging reverse is difficult, return the shift lever to the neutral position, re-engage the clutch, and try again." I remember thinking "Or you could have just fixed it....?" lol Gotta love Subaru.
FWIW, a lot of transmissions are like that. some companies like ford, you have to go to first first, and then to reverse. I've done that with my Subaru and it usually helps with getting it right. Does this happen all the time, or just when it's cold?
its a exedy stage2. 3 puck. its not going into gear at all. just going over to reverse. i have a sti. you have to pull up that round disk and push it over. that is what is sticking
Yeah my Integra used to do that too. I think that is one of those problems that it would just be a stupid amount of $$$ to fix something that is a nuisance more than a real problem...
try putting it in second then reverse. You need to put it into second to stop the shaft in the tranny from moving.
Now all you ppl who laugh at me for doing so can bow down to the WJM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bowdown: :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: Seriously, that works, every time.
prolly the bracket that the rev lockout goes into the linkage...I left mine off and had that problem the rememebered oooops gotta put that on. Remember filler up with Extra S and all will be smooth as buttuh.
