New Synchro's for the Foz

Over the past couple of weeks, the Forester has been crunching into 4th gear above 90 km/h, and I've been trying to get to STi at Subaru Ducklands for about 3,000 km...

The car had it's 100,000 km service about a month ago, and 4,500 km have passed, with me thinking the Subaru has a 100,000 km / 3 year warranty, however the warranty is actually 3 years, Unlimited km!!!

One of the mechanics came for a quick spin with me, and agreed that yes, 4th gear synchro has in fact had it, and 3rd and 5th are a bit iffy...

It's booked in for the end of the month, to have all the synchro's replaced...

Next lot of work to be done, is front brake pads, which are nearly shot, and machining of the rear rotors, which are warped, due to being a non-ventilated rotor...
