Regarding 2 gear.
When i was doing measurements how far each gear is, i found that second and fourth gear are only 1mm away. Is it possible that you do select 2 gear, only thinking it is 4 ?
Without metal plate that bolts on top is very hard to put into 2 gear, i would want to believe it's only that.
And don't just simply buy new gearbox, try to open it first, sometimes it is very easy fault 
P.s thanks for gearbox support link, one is going my way from ebay |
If you want the print file for it I'll send it to you, but the actual part is only about $4 or so... I just didn't want to wait for it.
I won't buy a new gearbox for a while, but at the same time I don't have the experience required to rip open a transmission and determine what is wrong with it.
It DEFINITELY won't shift into second lol. I have another BRZ 6-speed that I drive every day (will be selling it once the blue car is done) and I'm very familiar with where 2nd is as that car works fine. Whether that lock-out plate is in or out, whether the new trans mount is installed or not, 2nd gear literally feels like you're pushing against a wall.
If the Perrin rear bushing doesn't fix the problem (which I doubt it will) then I will be driving this car around for a while shifting from 1st into 3rd... Then when I have the $$$ I'll buy a new clutch and flywheel and take the trans back off to bring in to a local transmission rebuilder. They'll look at it and give me an estimate for repair, and if the cost is higher than a used trans I'll buy a used one.
