so, here's what happened...
was cruising by the mall (on mall property). there was a right loop at one of the corners of the lot that i was going about 10-15 mph on. i was in 1st trying to slide into 2nd. i noticed it feeling like it didn't slide all the way in. i shifted back to neutral before releasing clutch. tried for 2nd again, and same thing. third time, i tried to release the clutch slowly and it would grind. couldn't get into 2nd all the way home.
when i got home, i went around an area where there's hardly ever traffic with no buildings around. i kept taking these triangle shaped turns putting pressure on the shifter for 2nd gear. i got it to go in. out never would when i was going straight. however, it doesn't come out. with past cars, i've always been able to shift without using the clutch. i tried the same method, but only for getting it out of 2nd. it's super tight.
after being able to get it back into 2nd, i'm now able to use 2nd gear. however, it's just always a tight feeling like i'm wedging it in. i have to add force. getting out of 2nd requires 10x more force which i usually have to punch the shifter with my palm.
i've never had an issue with this tranny since i picked it up and installed it. never even a slight grind. it's so weird with the whole right turn thing. what's up with that?
i think i'm done taking chances on used trannies. i need to find a capable and experienced shop for subaru transmissions.
