Driving low rpm in bug
 

Hi guys since owning the bug wrx it has a issue that's bugging me,
I can't seem to drive the car at low revs I.e 1400/1600 rpm in any gear with out it sounding like I'm in 5th at 20mph shaking and rattling.
Driving at 30mph on flat road in 4th it feels like I'm in 5th struggling
So I end up driving at 35mph at 1700rpm which is fine.or 30 in 3rd
Anything at 1600rpm onwards fine.
None of my other scoobs do it .
Cars stock but does have the make compition clutch and flywheel,
Any suggestions?

I never drive the scoob around the 1,500rpm point. I find it labours too much.
I might occasionally do it in 5th if feeling lazy and cant be bothered to change down, but only when I know the rpm is going to increase due to forthcoming changing road conditions.

It sounds like a standard UK 5 speed box and your used to Jap stuff.

Thats good point Scott this is 1st uk 5spd box ive driven,
poss just me then lol
