most of you probably know of this already, but i have found that a lot do not. Let my brother drive my car the other night (first night back from college had to) anyway hes driving the car and didn't even bang a gear. he tells me that "its hard as shit to get into gear" and i replied "eh its just the tranny, your use to your STI." anyway i get out of the car and swap spots and guess what! its hard as shit to get into gear, reverse took me about 5 tries. long story short i came home pissed & shifting notchy as hell!!!! :fm: anyway from reading online i found a simple solution, and it even made the car shift smoother than when i first bought it off the previous owner.
Step 1:
sit in your drivers seat.
Step 2
Bend down and grab around the clutch pedal arm and give it a nice firm pull towards you (not too hard, but give it a nice tug).
Step 3
now release the clutch and sit up straight
Step 4
press down on the clutch and put it to the floor, and hold it there for a second or 2.
Step 5
now release the clutch and it may feel a little wobbly or loose (atleast mine did) now start the car and magic! shift through the gears and notice how much smoother it feels. can move my MGW with 1 finger into every gear :banana:
