AHA !

So we are comparing the UK models with the JDM models. They are not the same, refer to this thread to become throughly confused http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/show...ersion+gearbox

The bottom line is that the JDM transmission is meant to behave differently to the UK transmission. The big giveaway is the fact that the JDM transmission has a POWER button, which in the UK model is replaced with an ECONOMY button (but as the quoted thread shows, it's much more complicated than that!!).

I'm more and more convinced that it ain't broke and that you shouldn't try to fix it
