i have been dumping my clutch and beating the hell out of my car for 23,xxx miles, and the tranny has been holding up just fine, i think its more the way people drive it then it having a "weak" tranny,

Yep, what Alex said. Your view may change (Evil imports) once the tranny drops. Best of luck to you, it's your $. For me, I'll take a 2/10s hit at the track for a tranny that will last me past the first spark plug change.

FWIW, I went to my dealer about a month ago to

(couldnt find female dog pic) about tranny noise, shudder, etc. and they told me there will be a fix in 2 months, and they'll call me in. They took my VIN and documented stuff. When diagnosed by a tech he told me it could be one of the bearings in the tranny. I'm hoping to get at least new clutch and pressure plate for the shudder.
btw, i have 42k mi. and i never had these M/T prob's with 6 other cars before.

Keep us updated on what happens. I'd love to hear that they actually fixed it.

Well then as soon as I can get around to finishing it I'll attach it to an email and email it to you. It might not be until I've moved into a house in the US in Jan.

Well if you do go to have your M/T rebuilt you might want to consider finding a shop who's willing to let you sit in and watch how its done. Even if you don't learn enough to do it yourself the next time its still worth a look just to see how big a PITA it is.

Its a Subaru so in time you will be sacrificing a paycheck to replace it or rebuild it. The blown gears in the pic came out to around $350 to replace. Thats for the gears and the synchros. Might as well do the synchros while we're at it.
