my car is hard to get in gear after it sits a while. its an 02 wrx wagon 5speed. does anyone have any ideas?

 

Does it happen everytime or sometimes?

 

just about everytime it sits for 4 hours or more

 

my previous 2 hondas did that, the synchros were goin out, im guessin thats the problem here, does it go into gear easier say if you push the clutch twice to shift into gear (ex: first gear at a stop), does it go into gear easier if you hold the clutch down longer?

 

havent paid attention to it. ill give it a shot.

 

It's probably just becuae the oil is cold and doesn't run as freely as when it's warm or hot. My WRX has done it from day one. It's always a little "stickier" when trying to get it in gear. It usually requires alittle more effort to get it in each gear. Does it go away right when it's warmed up?

 

Yea I can vouch for that, the tranny is a bit trickier when its cold. You know what throws me off is when I am trying to shift around and my idle is at like 1000-1500 because I just started the engine, and it just puts me out of whack sometimes lol.

 

it does go away after bout 10 or 15 minutes of driving

 

Do you have aftermarket bushings?

i do not have aftermarket bushings. it doesnt just do it during the 1-2 shift. it does it in all the gears.
