98 Outback Sport Jumping out of 4th gear
Hello,
I just purchased my first Subaru....
I am jumping out of fourth gear(5Spd),Seems to be excessive movement in shifter from engine tourqe.If I hold slight pressure on the shifter it stays in fine.
Today I changed the fluids in the car;Rear Diff(Mobil 1)Engine(Mobil 1) and trans(2xValv durablend and 1.7x syncromesh) The shifting after limited driving is MUCH easier but it is still popping out of fourth gear...Does this mean its time to pull the trans for a rebuild?
I am planning on replacing the trans mount(STI)(Motor mounts good).Also Kartboy bushings.Then move on to the detent *****, then if that doesnt work may have to get inside of the thing or swap it out.
Does anyone know what transmissions,years and models are inter changable with my 98 OBS 5spd????
Thanks.
Allan
