Hi , I'd thought I'd share this folks , after a couple of years of driving around a problem i.e. Changing gear overly gently when going from 2nd to 3rd , I finally bite the bullet to have worn syncromesh looked into and diagnosed/ sorted , but before trusted garage started the work I asked them pleeeeease due to expected cost ,check for worn linkage ,loose bolts or anything that might mean the box hasn't got to come out , well luckily for me the found loads of wear in the splined arm that connects the cables to the gearbox, and wow since owning it for about 4years it now changes gear like my 03 Impreza sti did, instead of feeling like I'm wiggling a stick in a bucket of water , cheers peeps .
