oh....no,no....don't misunderstand....I am just saying that this is a problem with earlier WRXs. But I do know that the same fork that moves fifth also opperates reverse on a 5spd.
On the WRX trannys, there is nothing to stop the travel of the shifter except the gears, so concievably, if one were to really slam the shifter, the first thing to give would be the shift fork.
This is such a big issue with Mustangs that there are aftermarket shifters with adjustable stoppers for the shift lever (PRO 5.0)
I was just wondering if this was common with Subys also...Won't know about the 05' untill we remove the trans and crack the case open but, that is what it sounds like to me....hope so, cheaper to fix than shreaded gears.
If ANYONE has insight on this, please let me know.
Thanks
