WRX Auto Gearbox Issue

[david1972]

I think I've worked out what the issue I had with the gearbox a few weeks ago was. Having done some reading up on other forums today, it sounds like I need to replace the neutral switch attached to the gear selector mechanism.

My problem now is how / where to find the part number. I've emailed ICP this afternoon but not had a reply yet. Does anybody have any suggestions of where else to look please?

Want this fixing at the next service in May, before it goes for its remap.

TIA

Try Subaru, sometimes find main dealers actually cheaper for some parts

So.......

I've found the part that I need and can get it from America via eBay.

At the same time I rang the local stealer who by 4.30pm tonight couldn't work out what the part was I wanted from my VIN. So I gave them the part number and they are going to have to speak with those in Japan again to verify it is suitable for my car (I already know it is), then get me a price. Anything from 70-130 plus VAT.

eBay option from USA looks cheaper, even with import duty, and it's still the same official part.

The USA eBay merchant gave me this great link too - if you ever want part numbers, including for JDM cars, just bookmark this! They certainly have customer service licked over there - fantastic!!

Ordered the required part from the USA today - local stealer didn't get back to me a week later. Useless
