shifting and down shifting feel
 

Anybody feel the rough
ness?

no your doing something wrong. I can shift up and you cant feel it. Same with downshifting, just need to practice more.

i have to admit its a lil tough and notchy but i can understand its still new i only have 50miles on it so imma let it loosen up

It should loosen up on ya as it breaks in more and more. Unless you got a genuine issue. Transmissions literally shave metal off themselves for a while until its fully broken in. If you have ever changed the transmission filter and fluid on a car that has some miles on it you will see the transmission magnets are coated with metallic shavings that can be large enough to feel gritty. I recently found a small metallic splinter in one transmission pan and it stuck in my hand. And that was from an auto transmission that shifts perfectly. Case in point, the transmissions often needs time to break in. Hence the break in period.

the position of the clutch doesn't help .. also how light it is.
just give it a few miles, get used to this clutch :/

Do you mean the clunky noise from the rear differential?

Tis normal

i wish that clunk when you shift into 1st happened every time you changed gear. AWESOME, feels better than the clunk from the Audi R8 tranny :)

Yep, I just wasn't sure if the OP was aware (if that was even the noise he meant).

I get looks in the parking lot leaving work when I roll around in first and the press the clutch to stop at all the stop signs and cross walks....because of that clunk.....makes me want to hang my head out the window and go - "Yes, I know how to drive a stick, and yes that is normal."

:laughabove:
all the more reason to actually stop at stop signs! :thumbup:

That's good to know. I was starting to get slightly concerned when it didn't go away after 500 miles.

Subaru designed and made :]
Super loud trans hahaha

- I think

Does anyone get a clink when they put it into first? Sometimes mt car moves like a inch when I put it in first.

Yeah I think that's normal. I read somewhere that the clunk occurs because something that's spinning gets instantly halted when you put it into gear. I don't really know the technical terms. But I get the clunk. If you put it into gear more slowly and gently, I noticed it won't clunk.

Transmission maker is actually a Toyota company. It's definitely not like any Subaru trans I have driven before.

Yes. Mine's hard to change, especially when cold. But...when you drive it hard it slots in quicker than any factory box I've driven. I can put up with it since it's gold when you want to slam through the gears.

It feels extremely similar to an S2000 transmission. I've found a better shift knob works wonders for smoothing things out though.

No. when shifting sometimes u have to push

my bad I guess, my friend said it was a lot like his STI, just super short throws :X


Anyways, I've found my trans feeling better and better the longer (mileage) I drive it :party0030:

Check this guide out; it should help you =D

Press clutch once to match synchros, then when you release & press again you should not get the clunk

I definitely agree with this!
For anyone looking to smooth out shift feel & positive throw feel, look into this thread =D
