I have a 2011 WRX. Couple weeks ago the shifter got stuck in 3rd gear. Car was off and parked on flat surface. I attempted to move the shifter into nuetral without the clutch. And it got stuck. Car moves forward and rolls back with clutch engaged. I did as much as could as far as looking into it snd trying to fix it myself. I had no luck and am now looking for some help. Someone willing to take on a side or weekend job. I have a Gopro I a willing to give up for your service or cash or maybe a combination of both depending of how intensive the job is or may become. I realky can't afford a shop that want 800 just to investigate the problem. Im hoping that someone in the subie community is willing to help a brother out. Thanks guys.

Sounds like a shifter fork broke or throwout bearing wasn't installed correctly.

 

Are you in WA?

 

I am in Hawaii now.

 

I know very little about this aspect of the car. So I need assistant in working on this.

 

What it comes down to, is you gotta take the trans out. With your car so new i don't get how you are not covered by the warranty? Either way its a pain in the ***. Now then again it could be as simple as your shifter came loose out or something? Do you have a short throw? Any mods to the drive train?

 

he has a short shifter if i remember from the last thread.
just remove the shifter trim, inspect the linkage from up top and then get underneath and check the linkage from the bottom. Its a start.

 

What part of island you on?

 

Yea if thats the case the linkage could have come loose or come off, its an easy start and and inspect.

 

Ya that was actually the first thing I checked. Everything as far as the linkage looked to be good. Thats why im stuck and now need help.
Im located in Ewa.

 

take off the shifter trim and snap a few pictures. post pics. if you can get pics of the linkage underneath post those too. hard to help without seeing where the problem might be.
