go with IAPerformance.com for RA gears. Gruppe-s's used to retain the stock 5th gear but they found that it ground so they decided to retain both 4th and 5th at full price. Why pay for an RA gearset when you're only getting 60% of an RA set?

What steps can I take to avoid transmission failure? There are many users of stock Subaru transmissions that have heavily modified vehicles. It goes without saying that when used with the proper shifting techniques, your transmission will enjoy a long and healthy life if you learn the quirks of your transmission and modify your shifting technique to promote a long and healthy life. The Shifting FAQ and the assistance of experienced local personnel should be able to provide assistance with proper shifting techniques.
Aside from proper shifting, use of the factory clutch or an organic clutch of similar design should ease driveline shock. The clutch was conceived to be a weak, mechanically adaptable link between the engine and the transmission to protect these more vital assemblies. Upgraded clutches on a stock transmission can accelerate failure. For more clutch/flywheel info view the Clutch & Flywheel FAQ.

Clutch FAQ
What is the most transmission friendly clutch? The OEM organic clutch is by far the easiest on your transmission. This is due to the lighter clamp loads of the OEM pressure plate and the organic clutch material. Organic materials, which are bound by resins, will almost always loose friction when they get very hot. This is because the resin melts and becomes almost like a lubricant rather than a bonding agent. Any increase in clamp load or clutch material coefficient of friction will increase the shock load to your gears.
What about a "Stage 1 clutch"? Stage 1, 2, 3, etc. clutches are just a marketing tool like Stage 1, 2, 3, etc. power packages for Subarus. Some manufacturers have them, some don't. While a staged clutch may suit your application, DO NOT use a staged clutch package as a methodology to purchase your clutch based on your staged Subaru.
