I am a 57 year IT manager and I drive my slightly modified '03 WRX like a demon.
I have had absolutely no trans problems.
Perhaps your client missed a shift, abused the 2-1 synchros by downshifting at speeds too high, or just doesn't know how to drive. ASE doesn't certify that.

I've tried my darnedest and I can't find a Jon Jacobs who's an attorney in California.

Could you give us the contact information for your practice?

I busted my first gear after about 200 hard launches. I know that some WRX tranny failures seem to be due to QA problems because owners claim they didn't abuse their trannies. Mine broke due to abuse. The tranny wasn't designed for 227 chp going into an AWD drivetrain.

I would like to know how this case turned out.

has no one thought of testing the teeth? find a friendly mechanical engineer or meterlurgist {sorry about the spelling} to test the broken gear, they should be able to tell you alot.

good luck
