q2slinger Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Been at stage II since 5,000 miles. Drive like an old man for the most part, except for 6 track days and 250 autox laps on race slicks. Just wondering how many people have blown up a manual transmission with the stock turbo? Don't think there are very many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

q2slinger Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 It was either the rear bearing or center diff that let go and resulted in lots of metal shavings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSiWRX Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Still on the stock clutch and tranny, been your typical "Stage II" since about 10K miles, September, 2005. Now at 36K. The clutch has started, finally, to slip. I don't track/strip/AutoX the car, but I'm not the easiest daily-driver. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clutch has started, finally, to slip. I don't track/strip/AutoX the car, but I'm not the easiest daily-driver. My clutch is still not slipping except if I try to take off fast from a stop in 1st. Gearbox has been good. I kind of want the stock clutch to let go so I can get an upgraded one and get a lighter flywheel.. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustangendsley Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 mine slips w a hard lanch, but my 4th gear sincro is going out. I wonder how much this is going to cost to do the 4th gear and sincro. if I do that then I'm just going to put a act clutch and streetlight flywheel in w maybe the sti tran bushings in.
