so I get home today and its street cleaning and I had to get off the street so i pull into my neighbors driveway and totally scrap on the bottom. so I try to back out and the shifter is totally STIFF and it was HELLA hard to shift into reverse. what the hell did I hit on the bottom that would cause that. I drove around the block and it seemed fine but what the hell did I do. why was it so hard to shift. shoud I be worried??

ps. After I got off the drveway the shifter felt fine so I was stuck on something.

 

dont worry foo! Since you were at an angle the shift linkage might have been wedged between the cement and your car.

 

so I went under the car. It was the tranny and now I saw this

 

this is where I scraped the tranny

 

i see that under my car too (i think)

 

I have had my front axle seals replaced 3 or 4 times already, under warranty (24k miles).

Those things are prone to fail, but mine were leaking tranny fluid, not grease...

 

some people told me it was normal. so I hope it is

but it drove fine today to work and back and I checked it tonight when I got home and it was the same amount of that grease there. so I think I am fine. but I did put TONS of pressure on that tranny to my neighbors driveway

 

Your WRX must be "in the weeds" (lowered), huh!

 

naw just the Pro Kits

I did want it lower though but now I am having second thought
