Gearbox Problems

[ur.a.bus]

i know this should go in strictly techical but i'd like some scottish answers please. (so dont end up driving to england to get it fixed)

couple of weeks back i got a loud crunch changing into 3rd gear which i though was me being a bit lazy on the clutch (thought was strange though as i never usually lift clutch to quick)

since then i'm not getting any noises but when i change into 3rd i'm still feeling the crunch through gear stick

i was thinking clutch or gear box was going so searched this site and found a few people saying it could be sync mesh, not sure what this is but hopefully cheaper than a gearbox

also spotted it could be fixed with gearbox still in the car, just diff needing removed for access?

so questions are,

does this sound like sync mesh problem?

how much roughly would this job cost?

and where's the best and closest place to take it from dundee?

(i could take it to a gearbox garage but would prefere someone with subaru knowledge that could fix it without removing whole gearbox possibly saving labour costs )

cheers for any info you guys might have

Hope you will report back the problem/solution and cost etc. Just be nice to know cause I am getting some light crunching when changing up into fifth at high revs/speed. So I might need to look at a similar solution if the warranty wont cover it.

mine is sometimes hard to get into 1st or reverse - especially annoying when at lights and then have problems getting 1st with a q of traffic behind you lol I find releasing clutch and then depressing it again (sometimes a few times) eventually helps and it goes in fine. Might get an oil change at next MOT

That's interesting because I have exactly the same problem on my '06. I assumed it was just a scooby thing, being as it's a more hardy gearbox/clutch than I'm used to. Maybe not!

My newage STi can be a bit of a caaaant to put into 1st occasionally when its cold... again, just assumed it was a 6-spd thing and ignored it. Dont remember any of my 5-spd Scoobs doing it though.

Cheers,

Grant
