They need to replace the shitty brass synchros with carbon fiber synchros.

I have this issue too when I drive around 100km/h in 6th and needs to downshift to 5th to overtake it would grind. But, if I drive at the lower speed such as 70-80km/h in 6th and downshift to 5th it wouldn't grind. I also do rev-matching or even heel and toe to make shifting goes smoothly still it doesn't work. This problem occured to me a week ago, after getting my 10,000km maintenance at the local Subaru Dealer.
I guess, I should take my car to do some inspection for this issue before it leads to another big problem. Is there any update to fix this issue yet ? |

That is exactly the problem I had on my first tranny.
My second one has 2nd and 3rd grind now so I will be trying Pentosin 75W-80 once I have dealer approval, and then if that doesn't work it will be time for another replacement. As far as I know, there is still no fix (see links below). Take yours in and get them to check the tranny fluid - it will have metal shavings in it and that will be the justification they need to replace it. Good luck! http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16604 http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61827 http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8437 http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31929 |

any update on this? 6th gear on my car is starting to grind with 15,000 miles on it. Aftermarket clutch, Aftermarket fluid, short shifter, and bushing. I have to many modifications to take it back to the dealer for this kind of problem. Is it possible that I could buy the synchros and replace them myself?

With mine it was a 5th gear grind and they didn't hesitate to replace the gearbox under warranty, soon after those symptoms appeared. Less miles than yours, about 9000. If replacing the syncros was a fix why would they fit a new box? |

I like to think they have modified future gearboxes based on that policy, which might mean any spares could be to a different spec and could upgrade repairs? I would drop the oil first, to see what's in it, if anything? |

Are you sure it's nothing to do with the clutch not releasing fully? |

Hey guys I wanted to update that I switch from pentosin to redline with 1 quart of shockproof. 5th gear grind is completely gone and its shifts like butter.

You might pass that on to Toyota and Subaru to try instead of changing gearboxes. |
