Exactly, 3rd to 4th. I can quickly shift 1-2 2-3 at high rpm with not much trouble, but that 3-4 always crunches if i try too quickly over say 4.5-5k rpm. And if you google that specifically, 3rd to 4th crunch, (which i did over the last few days) you'll find many threads from 2013-2014 with people complaining about the same issue. But subaru simply replaced their transmissions under warranty. So now it makes be wonder if maybe this is just a defect from the beginning and the original owner never noticed.

I'm pretty confident maintenance and what not was done well by the previous 2 owners, even had decent paperwork (such as the invoice I mentioned from last year).

And I thought Motul was GL-4 and 5. Like its doesn't have the additives typical GL-5's have, but it still met the requirements.

Anyway, as of right now, im going to just change the oil with some good GL-4, and probably not pursue Subaru. If it becomes an bigger problem or doesn't go away with new oil, I'll just swap the tranny when I do the clutch. I'm leaning towards Amsoil MTG but I've read good things about Redline's MT-90. I can get the Amsoil locally too, haven't found MT-90 yet though.
