    Same thing happened to me with SS at the wheel tuning my car, except it was 3rd gear. Well, an RA gearset($1600) and ~$1500 (rebuild + labor) later and it's good to go. Rebuild was done at Prestige Subaru in NC. Labor was done at SOG. So figure on about $2k to $3k for rebuild...

    or get a used tranny on eBay for around $1000 shipped.

    Hey. Cryo treated RA's? I say beg steal or borrow and get that bad boy. It sounds like he'd let it go for around two if you can come up with that much or you might be able to work the deal.

    Let me know if you need a ride or something.

    For a little qualification (so people don't think I'm a tranny killer) Kreeger had a V7 STi motor with a BIG turbo and FMIC on the stock TS tranny... we all knew that it might not hold the torque of the new big turbo...

    Starting at 2k rpm in 3rd, as it spooled at 3600 it just ripped the teeth of of 3rd gear.

    (I just don't want people thinking I was abusive)

    Sorry, Scott.... I didn't realize that came off sounding like that until I re-read it in the quote you made :D

    Absolutely true... I was LUCKY to get as much outta the stocker for as long as I did, and if it did not break during your tune, I am 200% sure I would have busted it on the way home!

    Car's running great, BTW...

    Hey man, sorry to hear about your tranny. It was bound to break sometime anyways. If you can drop the cash for that ra set than you'll be ready to fly.

    yes it was installed next day..
    it runs good..
    i like it..
    the 1st gear is longer but 5th gear became short or whatever
    i mean before on stock tranny at 70 miles per hour the rpm used to be 3000-3100 now it's 3400-3650 so i was wondering.. what u do to the tranny or it's suppose to be that way??

    With the RA gears first is indeed longer while the rest are spaced closer together. When you get on it you should notice much better acceleration.

    Because of the shorter gears 5th gear crusing speed on the highway is higher by a few hundred RPM's.
