My '05 WRX (stateside model) has just over 2,500 miles on it; about 1.5 months old. Recently I've noticed that it refuses to go into reverse right away when started up, even if warm (then again, the only real time I use Reverse is after starting up and backing out of the drive).
Nonetheless, to get into R I usually have to pump the clutch a few times or go into another (usually first, for convenience sake) gear beforehand and then it glides into reverse no problemo. Otherwise you just pull and pull and pull and it will only go 1/2-way into reverse.
- Is this normal? I doubt it.... (Warranty time I guess?)
- Would the Kartboy bushings have anything to do with this? Do they effect the warranty?
- Could I have overtightened something in the kartboy install to make this harder?
