EazyMoney Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Just bought an 05 legacy gt ltl and I am discovering its flaws. Today I noticed that I do not have to push in the brake pedal to move through gears:confused: I have an automatic and a can see there and run through Forward, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, etc. without pushing in the brake. Today I was on a hill, and wtf boy did that slam into gear. Heres a link to what it looks like: http://www.google.com/imgres?q=momo+shift+knob+05&um=1&hl=en&rlz=1R2RNRN_enUS449&biw=1366&bih=452&tbm=isch&tbnid=PqErxDs-hECrGM:&imgrefurl=http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f65/fs-va-shift-knobs-momo-oem-83233/&docid=ilMCyWgu0JwxKM&w=800&h=602&ei=9O2LToz-L8Sgtwfyg8CRAw&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=81&page=2&tbnh=105&tbnw=141&start=6&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:8,s:6&tx=98&ty=34 Okay so i dismantled the assembly today, and this small black lever thingy just came out of no where, and a spring flew out, the spring looked like one from a mechanical pencil and the lever was small, black, was about an inch or so long. Something isn't right. When I press my brake, I can hear under the shifter assembly the "click" noise when I brake, but it doesnt hold my wheels tight so i can shift! Suggestions?

Montana Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 The 2005 does not have the "hill holder" if that is what you are expecting. The only time you need the brake is to move the gearshift out of park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montana Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I've had a 1988 wagon, a 1990 wagon, a 2000 wagon and the 2005 wagon. I last had the hill holder on the 1990, which also had the 2-wheel/4-wheel button in the shifter. The hill holder wasn't for parking, it was for stopped when you were stopped at a light. You just have to get better with the clutch, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
