I really dont know that much about it. I have heard a lot of things about them on nasioc and everything has been great. The consensus on nasioc is that there pretty much bulletproof. I believe you need to send a core.

well my tranny was just pulled apart and the 3rd gear has a tooth missing, so they have to replace all of third. said and done, with a family hook up, my total is 391.86. not to bad seeing as they arn't charging me labor. I really wish i had the dough to throw down for a RA gearset . Your going to keep driving yours apex?

As of now, yes. :/ I do not have the extra money lying around for that kind of repair, even for parts because I am planning on taking the labor into my own hands to save on costs, hopefully with the help of friends good find on the repair, sounds to me like a legitimate fix. If it is possible for you to hook it up with the same repair I would be down for the 400 bucks opposed to 850+ to a new tranny!

I would say that for 85-90% of most people out there the RA gear set works just fine. If you do track or drag race your car a lot then looking into the PPG gear set might be worth it. If you only go to one or two track days a year for fun then save some money and get the RA gear set.
+1 to what Paul said get it fixed sooner then later to prevent more damage.

i would love to fix it sooner, and i would love an RA gearset but the money is my issue, so i need to save, but in the meantime, i ned a car to drive, and that just happens to be the suby. the Honda Ruckus only gets me so far city wise, but it does get me a sweet 110 mpg

so i ended up buying a 6spd swap, and then brought it in to subaru just to see what would happen, and theyre covering the issue, i saw the gear and 2 teeth were chipped right off.....
I have been driving the car for 7 months this way btw... no tranny fluid change.... crazy.
