Handtool Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Pretty common I think. My '95 legacy is the same way eventually I will get around to doing this: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=753869&highlight=shifter+slop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axgutt Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I had the same problem with mine (same model and year) since I bought it 2 1/2 years (and 70,000 miles) ago. I finally took it in, and it turns out that in addition to the bushings being completely gone, the transmission hanger bolts were broken. The dealer said it was basically resting on the exhaust. They could have been pulling my leg (and wallet) though. After replacing the parts it's perfect. Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMattyD Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=742063 Here is another link to a shifter rebuild post. I did this in the summer, and it was a little difficult due to the cramped space under the car, but I was able to replace the necessary bushings and linkage from the ************ lever to the transmission. I have some good pics of the work I did. They used to be posted on my website, but they may have been erased. If anyone wants them or wants to host them on their website, let me know and I'll get them for you.

Legacy777 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 The bushings may be an issue, but your specific issue is the centering spring is not there. You can see it in this pic http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/jointcustom/DCP_4183.JPG I believe there is a thread in the reviews forum on www.bbs.legacycentral.org that is titled "(correct part #) appreciation thread" I don't recall the part #, but it's in the thread.
