So today when I was going to leave work, I went to go put my car into reverse but it wouldn't go in. Huh. Tried all the gears and nothing, then I tried forcing it into first and it made a crazy loud grinding sound that my coworker could hear from his car with the windows up. Still didn't go in. Tried reverse again, and it would go in with some force but it grinded like crazy. I finally decided to just leave the car at work for the weekend and grab one of the work cars. Pushed my car into the compound, tried putting it into gear again and it finally went into reverse and everything just seemed to "pop" back into place, and suddenly everything was fine. I left it there and took the work car anyways just to be safe. Anybody have any clue what could be going on?

Another update.
Pumping the clutch doesn't seem to help much. But today as I was leaving for school, the car shifted into first just fine, then I went to shift into second and it wouldn't go. Got to a stop sign and it wouldn't shift into any gear. Turned the car off and went to get somebody to help me push it, tried it again when I got back and it would go into gear with the car off, so I tried turning the car on and it worked again all of a sudden and seemed to be fine again. I might try bleeding the cylinders and see if that does anything. Or is the problem deeper than that? -------------------- 2007 Impreza 2.5i - Daily
