sparky_sj04 Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 As above, does anyone ever feel their gearbox a bit sticky to get into 1st gear when it's cold? Sometimes needs a bit of a push? I've had 3 now and they've all been similar so no reason to think it's a problem unless somebody can tell me otherwise? Also there was a post on here a while ago talking about a (possibly) teflon additive for the gearbox oil that helped smooth things. Anyone know about that? Or more to the point where to get it? Car is due a service soon so if it's worth it then i'll go for it.. Cheers people..
scooby222 Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 mines the same,has been from newlike you say fine once its warmed up. the other halfs integra was the same but a bit worse so changed the gearbox oil for a fully synthetic recomended by opie oils and its made it much smoother so may try that on the scoob at some point.
RS Grant Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Sticky 1st gear when I've just got into the car first thing in the morning... check. Has been like it since I bought the thing new, so never worried about it and just accepted that it was a 'feature' of the STi 6-spd. Cheers, Grant

That's good to hear! I'll be making sure it's fully synthetic i get when it's changed anyway.. Cheers dude.
