But long story short every time i now go from 3rd to 4th it's pretty bad..... am I screwed or what? what are my options anything I can do, or do i need new gears. dont know to much about trans stuff so anything will help. thanks guys

try a lil scotty's cocktail.....otherwise your syncros might be done...but try the cocktail i heard it can work wonders

 

FS section????


agreed, try some scotties, it may help alot.

 

4th gear synchro issues are really common in Subarus. I had it in my WRX and a little bit in the Legacy. Scotty's Cocktail fixed both problems.

 

Had something like this happened to my honda. Needed to replace syncros. 1-2. Bought new trans instead b/c it cost almost the same. But the coctail thing sounds good though.

thanks for info.

 

There is a thread around here on how exactly to pour in Scotty's. Basically Redline, Penzoil, 1 qt of Hypoy-c and then start the 2nd quart and keep checking it until you get the right level on the dipstick.
