halyva Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 When brakes applied I can feel a slight move of a shifter forward. Feels like a whole tranny pulls a shifter forward. I only noticed it when I was standing down hill and slowly released and pushed brakes again. There are no noises or sounds… but I can see that a shifter moves maybe ¼ inch forward. I have 5 speed manual 2001 Forester. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 bad motor mount someplace. I've had older soobies do this and really were never bothered. Also cars with shifters attached to the transmission and not the car body will do the same thing sometimes. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OB99W Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Have the engine/trans mounts checked. If you were in a rust-belt state (or the car came from one), I'd suggest having the whole underbody looked at for corrosion-related problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halyva Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 Thank you all. A car has been in Alabama all its life and there is no rust issues at all but I will definitely check engine and tranny mounts . Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
