That's pretty obvious. ......as is the fact that your abuse led to the demise of the other 2 transmissions.

The reason I posted the above quotes was to show that abuse is always a possibility in these "broken tranny" threads. There are far too many subjective comments made about the quality of our transmissions (or SOA in general). All I'm suggesting is that folks should look at the issue objectively and keep in mind that they might not always know the whole story.

I have no complaints about my tranny and I know I've given it hell and it's held up so far 38K miles and I've changed the fluid 4 times. I change the fluid mostly looking for metal shavings or pieces of metal found either and I've done a few clutch dumps in my day

You are a ****ing moron, and I can't believe you would try to come in here acting all innocently, and then also sit there and blame subaru when it pretty ****ing obvious you abuse your car.

I hope you replace that ****ing tranny, go get a camaro or something which suits your lame ****ing street racing needs, and wrap that POS around a ****ing telephone pole.

I was going to write some pretty symapthetic things, including how i know you could have gotten that tranny replaced under warranty, because several posts up, i beleived you... it's pretty evedient that you think we are all morons, but in the end it's you who's the moron... 3rd tranny!?!?!?!

just a thought.. when you returned your car to stock, did you put in the stock 30lb flywheel? Personally I think that things the destroyer of trannies.. especially after getting used to driving with a ~12lb flywheel and then going back.

Actually, light flywheels are easier on transmissions. But that doesn't make up for idiotic driving habits.

Great idea. You think your wrx is expensive to fix? Wait until you kill your STi trans.

Nah, the STi gearbox is dummy-proof. About the only way to kill it is either run it dry or tow it on 2 wheels. Seems oblivious to clutch dumps and 450 lb./ft. or torque.

i don't see why you guys get all bent out of shape, i didn't buy this car to rin arons, i bought it to have some fun, its funny how subaru advertises the car that way also, 0-60 in 5.4 but if you break it in the process then you abuse your car blah blah.

all i did was ask some simple questions on what it can be then i get all these fanboys telling me i don't know how to drive....lol.

Re-read your statements:

Originally posted by 805WRX

.....you also started another thread titled "SUBARU won't pick up the bill". You made it sound like the transmission just "blew" without any fault of your own. I merely posted your remarks from previous posts to show that there may be more to the story than what was written within these "tranny" threads.

There's a difference between "having some fun" and abuse.
