If nothing else, you can just skip 5th entirely and go to 4th from now on. Rev matching will matter more and you'll get more satisfying power. |

Still don't trust them. They really didn't test the issue. I know I'm being picky I just love this car and don't want to hurt it in ways I can avoid. Probably going to end up changing the tranny oil then just leaving it alone

Well now, there ya go - everything is OK - Oh, that "issue's still there" could be like when I go to the doctor sometimes. Although, he didn't do anything but check me out and told me I would be OK, I would feel better - humfrz |

Too many of you folks are trying the "preventative care" route but that rarely works for automobiles as there are very few things you can catch before they break...and even if you catch a significant problem ahead of time, what do you expect would happen? The solution is the same either way, the dealer would just replace the hardware.. There have been quite a few posters here who were able to convince their dealers to replace their trans for similar notchy shift "problems" only for the issue to come up on the replacement so go figure |

Changing the trans fluid will probably smooth things out a bit, but there's no replacement for proper technique. Light blip of the throttle, gentle but firm pressure on the shifter, and you'll feel it slip into gear like it should. I think you're worrying about a problem that doesn't exist. |

Then I had an engine replacement under warranty, mated up to the same transmission. When I got the car back I immediately noticed crunchy shifts downshifting into 5th or 3rd. So I took the car back and asked them to check it. I had the same experience you had. They couldn't feel it. The mechanic who installed the engine (a younger guy who drives a heavily modified STI) drove it and said it seemed normal. So he rode along with his hand on the side of the transmission tunnel as I drove. It would crunch, I would say, "There! Did you feel that?" And he would say, "Not really. It seems normal." It has smoothed out somewhat, but it still crunches. Apparently it really is normal. 30K miles later it still works, so I have resolved not to worry about it. |

As for the light blipping, we're talking 6th to 5th at 70mph here. Off the top of my head, engine rpm would be >3000 before the shift and >4000rpm after. Light to me means something around 2000rpm. That won't be enough to revmatch properly. It's suggested early in this thread to go to 4th instead, since OP said only 5th gear got the glitch. Engine rpm needs to be >5000 after a shift like that. It's hard to believe going from 6th to 5th at 70mph has a synchro glitch and going to 4th doesn't. I would double clutch if it's my car. |

As for the thottle blip, again youre right that blipping the throttle doesnt really have any effect on the act of shifting itself. The trans is not linked to the engine at that point, so blipping the throttle doesn't do anything to help the trans get into gear. But, a light throttle blip when downshifting is still proper shifting technique. I was just trying to give the OP advice that would help him shift smoothly. |

If you guys really want I can set some candy up in my car so y'all can see how I shift? You won't feel it of course but I can include my tachometer too |
