Hi all. In our 1999 BH Legacy TS-R Wagon, 3rd gear has been notchy for a while now, some have said the syncro\'s are worn out? Guessing if this is true, a gearbox swap is the only realistically cheap option? Sure, only 3rd gear is a small issue, but it\'s one of those niggly things I don\'t like haha.
If that\'s not necessary, and there is another solution, would anyone know? Also, the oil hasn\'t been changed in a while, in fact can\'t remember the last time it was, though with the problem only being in 3rd, is it oil related?
If it comes down to a swap, I\'ve seen a few options around. Now, our engine is a stock EJ20 n/a. I\'ve seen the gearboxes off a turbo are a longer ratio and at 100km/h sit at around 2600rpm, yet our stock \'box sits at around 2900 rpm @ 100km/h. Is it stupid of me to even think about swapping in a longer ratio \'box in replacement of the stock \'box?
