4th gear lock out?

so i did some pulls with nuke to tune the car in third and then now it seems 4th is locking me out i can go into all the other gears fine. its for my 03 wrx and i know my clutch was acting funny, it held the power to red line and everything during the pulls could it be anything wrong with the wire maybe? or do i need a new transmission

 

There is no electronic lock out, or electronic anything on a 5MT, sounds like 4th is shot, or the 4th gear shift fork is bent. Live with it, or get ready for an overhaul.

 

Does it grind or anything trying to shift into it. Can you shift down to it. Can you put it in 4th when the car is not moving.

 

no i can its just wont let me in and when car is off won't let me in either so im not sure what it is

 

can't* there is no grinds or anything and all other gear works fine even reverse

 

Ever grind 3rd really badly?

 

nope no grind in 3rd at all goes in smoothly on all other gears

 

I know a guy that fixes 5mt's

 

who? and whats the going rate on fixing these things? Prob my excuse for going stronger now anyways thinking i might just live with it for now and save for an 06 sti tranny swap. Anyone know anyone selling a 06 or 07 sti tranny?

 

Most likely bent a shift fork.

 

is that any easier fix can i do it myself?

 

If you have never split the case on a 5mt, I would not attempt it.

 

It really isn't as tough as it looks. Patience, a photographic memory and a press is all you need to replace gears. If it is a bent fork then you don't need the press.

 

oh ok hmm

 

There is a 6spd mt from that oak vendor on here. $2000 plus shipping.
