garygbnj Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 2010 LGT. Notchy shifting which the trans is famous for. Is there any cure? Running redline fluid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Is it notchy as in once at the gate it grinds going into gear or notchy as in the travel btwn gear gates? I guess is the problem with engagement or the throw? The BM series Legacy MT is cable shifted vs the previous generation direct linkage shifted units. Ive driven both and I feel the cable shifted BM legacy, the 2.5i at least, is very bland but smooth in engagement. Not sure if the shifter can be adjusted but if so that could be a start, if you are grinding it could be time for a fluid change. Keep in mind fluid can't fix wear If a synchro is worn it isn't spinning the idling gear fast enough for smooth engagement and eventually will need to be replaced. Given the age of the car that isn't too far fetched, my LGT has 181K on a refreshed 5MT (done 81K miles ago ) it was rebuilt with quality internals and I run Motul Gear 300 75w90, it should last me until the car implodes.

stewdogg Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I wonder if it's inherent to the cable linkage in the LGT/WRX over the rigid rod connection in the STi? I think you might get more traffic/answers in the 5th gen forum with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpmarky Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 do they make adjustable shifters for 5th gens? When I had a cobb 6mt STS, you could make the throw longer/shorter and the longer throw would make it less notchy, shorter throw would be more. 08lagacy - get redline or motul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
