Hi /o/, quick question, should a gear "click" into

Some do, some don't in my experience. 86 300 doesn't click (there is a little chunky feedback vBecause the synchros are getting fucked but doesn't make an actual click) but my 14 gen coupe does click

It means your gay has the gay

So it should fit you just fine

So I don't have to worry that the tranny is just going to drop mid-commute? The GTI was never a problem, but then I'd drive another manual that wouldn't feel like anything at all when shifting and wonder if mine was broken. I was hoping it would just be due to the fact that it has a lightened flywheel and short throw shifter.

Yup, sounds about right. My vape did that before the wrx though...

I found my Kia Forte Koup to be extremely notchy to the point where I fucked up shifting a couple of times. It was my first manual car and I wouldn't wish learning manual in that car upon anyone.

I have a 2013 Focus St right now and it's still notchy, but smoother. I can feel it lock into each gear but it goes willingly. Very precise and a pleasure to drive.

I'd be more concerned if I didn't feel and hear gear engagement. Grinding is the noise you want to panic about.

I've had 2 FWD cars, 2 RWD cars, and an STi. I've also driven a few Forester XTs and WRXs. Subaru transmissions have a "chunky" feel to them (and they have heavy clutches).

I'm sure it has something to do with the center and front differentials being part of the transmission - also, 2WD cars can spin the tires easily when you shock the drivetrain with torque, AWD cars with LSDs designed for grip don't spin the tires as easily so the gears often get the strain from the drivetrain shock and they design their transmissions with this in mind.

Have you driven a manual that isn't notchy? It doesn't weird you out? It's the same way, no gears are missed, nothing slips or grinds, it just physically feels different while holding the shifter.

Luckily it's not grinding or making problematic noises, I've just always wondered why some are smooth as hell and some feel like they have to be clicked into place.

Makes sense, and glad to hear it's a common thing for a Subaru. I have noticed the clutch is extremely heavy compared to VW/Audi/Honda/Mazda, but I guess the AWD vs. 2WD thing makes sense.

Nope, the Koup and my ST are the only manual cars I've driven.

I think my point was that the Koup always had me second guessing myself whenever I shifted where as the ST has a very precise shifter. For whatever reason the reverse gear is super notchy.

I wondered about this as well. Maybe someone else can provide more insight.

I noticed a big difference when I replaced the worn shifter in my car. I would constantly not pull all the way into 2nd gear because I couldn't feel anything. Now I feel every gear engage.

detent pin?
