Has anyone dealt w/ Irvine Subaru and their coverage for trannies under warranty? I recently discovered that my 4th to 5th gear shifts are starting to grind really bad. After shifting several times into 5th gear this evening I discovered that it only grinds above 3k rpm. I did also notice that if i double clutch, it goes in smoothly.

I did a search on this issue and found that this has happened to quite a few other people. They were able to get it covered under warranty but not without some hassel. My car is fairly new, still under 12k miles but I do have minor mods so I'm a little worried the dealership will give me a hard time and try to blame it on me being a "street racer". I take good care of my car and really want to know if Irvine will be a good place to take my car seeing thats where I bought it. So if anyone has any experience w/ them or can suggest a dealership that will help out, I will greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
