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 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.

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.

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