Silver_05_GTX Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 My 05 LGT is getting harder to shift. N-1, 1-2, 2-3 have gotten much "notchier" lately and sometimes on the 2-3 it literally feels like the teeth are engaging one by one. Clutch has been babied. No aggressive launches and only rev matched downshifts. The clutch itself still engages fairly low to the floor. Anyone else have issues with the TOB but not the friction disk? Thanks.

SubLGTaru Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 The 2-3 shift for me has got to be a bit touchy lately, not sure what the cause of it is....but it's only happening when shifting from 2 to 3. Sometimes it does not shift very smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver_05_GTX Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 ^+1 try a fluid change. Had the brake fluid replaced 10k miles ago... Is the clutch slave cylinder part of the brake fluid system or separate ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unlimited6986 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Do tranny fluid, brakes have nothing to do w/ the tranny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_05_GTX Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Do tranny fluid, brakes have nothing to do w/ the tranny Thought "fluid" referred to clutch slave cylinder fluid. my question was whether the clutch slave and the brake master cylinder share a reservoir.

casey jones Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Transmission requires gear oil for proper lubrication when shifting, and for head dissipation. MT fluid is required every 30k miles and it usually takes around 3.75qts. Make sure you use the right kind, a good 75w-90 is what Subaru recommends. Don't use engine oil, syncromax, gm syncromesh or anything thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't use engine oil, syncromax, gm syncromesh or anything thin. The kind of gear oil matters a LOT. I've heard regular Valvoline 75W90 dino rec'ed and use it. Many here prefer Redline 75W90 - make SURE it's the NS ("non slip") version - synchronizers don't work right without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
