groff Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 if its making noise at idle, its not bushing (not that i thought it would have been anyway). are we talking grinding noises like gears not going together, or like a burring/rubbing noise like maybe the clutch isn't disengaging 100% (this was my problem), or can you be a lil more specific? i would think a syncro, but you said previously that the problem was in all gears, so i'd have a tough time imagining all the synchros (although you said you didn't have fluid) and you'd still be able to get the car in gear and drive around if you didn't have syncros, it would just take some thinking while driving. its a T60 to take the tranny drain plug out fwiw.

andrew.anderson Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Problem is only when changing gears and also in neutral. It does not make noise unless you move the shift lever and then ones you stop moving the shift lever there is no noise or anything strange when in gear or when releasing the clutch to go into gear.

groff Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 ok, just import your car back overseas so i can hear this problem, then we can help out so if the car is just sitting there in idle, there is no noise, if you push the clutch in, there is no noise, if you move the shift lever it makes noise (is it direction specific, like if you move it up into 3rd from neutral, or left or right towards 1st or reverse does it make the same noises or noises in all those directions?) either way you'll probably have to take it somewhere, or have it flatbedded there if you don't feel comfortable driving it. aren't there any mechanics on base that you could bargin with a 6pack to come listen to the problem for a second? i have to imagine someone rebuilding stuff on a humvee or deuce and a half might be able to identify the sounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you described it perfectlly. Noise in every direction. No noise or problem when releasing clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew.anderson Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 Could it be something external in the shift linkage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew.anderson Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 I called our dealership in the US. They tried to be helpful but really weren't. When you just list all the stuff it possibly could be that doesn't help me narrow it down. They said one fo the gears could have become misaligned or the shift fork might not be fully disengaging. I have no idea eacaxtlly what either of those mean though. So, if I have to have my transmission torn apart would that be a good time to put in a stronger clutch plate? Is that even a useful part when you are only at 375 HP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groff Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 375hp...where did that number come from? and what mods? yeah if your tranny comes out, def put in a new clutch and possibly a new flywheel too. not sure how just one shifter fork would be causing all the problems (i'm not a pro in tranny's thats for sure, but i was under the impression there was one for 1-2, 3-4, 5, and R). heres my new #1 suggestion: Call andrew @ andrewtech because i'm sure he could probably help diagnose your problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew.anderson Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 Stock the car is 250HP. 375 is not a huge increase. There are people on here puttign down much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groff Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 o, we're talking crank HP...right. still what mods? i'd consider 125 horse a decent increase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew.anderson Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 I called the two Subaru Dealerships that are closes to Kaiserslautern. The one toward Mannhiem in Grunstadt has no one that speaks English and my German is nto good enough to explain a technical issue to them. The one on the way to Saarbrücken in Hütschenhausen has at least two peopel that Sprechen sie Anglish so I should be good. Wish me luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilT Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Good luck, do you know any local Subaru clubs around your area that could help out ? 375 hp on stock turbo ? Maybe being a little optomistic Double Award Winning Legacy GT Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew.anderson Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 There are no Subaru CLub persay. THere are alot of Subaru owners. SOme are on this FOrum. They are unresponsive though. The one guy that offered to help is 72 miles away and that is a long ways to drive or tow the car to take a chance that he can fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bskey Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Sounds to me like your shift fork. If when it's in gear it's running fine, and when it's in neutral it's fine, and it's not the clutch, then I'd go with the fork, or the linkage. Doesn't sound like it's in your tranny, more like getting to your tranny. ~my 2 cents. Is the pedal feel any different, or can you feel the grinding through the pedal? life in spin cycle.....

andrew.anderson Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 The pedal feel is no different and you can't feel anythign through the pedal. Pedal functionand manipulation is normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew.anderson Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 bskey, My father-in-law, who is a very smart man, said almost the exact same thing. He thought it was external to the tranny actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bskey Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 On our way down the Autobahn yesterday my wife noticed that it had gotten difficult to shift gears. Was there a single even that led to this issue, like a really hard shift or a drop of the clutch that could have bent an already weakened fork? life in spin cycle.....
