At what milage did you WRX owners start to have problems
I know a lot of people have had tranny problems with their WRX, and i was just wondering at what milage did these problems start to happen...I only have 3K on the WRX, but i would hate for my problems to start happening after the warranty expires.
Thanks,
Zoeb

Mine started at about 300 miles. The reverse started to grind when going in. The dealer said they couldnt find a problem and that reverse is "hard to get into on these modles"

less than 1k miles.
Even after the new clutch from cluch decel noise, there were still shifting issues:
Downshift into first at less than 5 mph or even cluch in/wait 2 secs/shift into 1/ grind....
....and 4th gear grind when at high rpm in 3rd upshifting.
All from the beginning, all never fixed.

thank you dwx, you're giving me hope. I'm about to buy a wrx in 2 weeks and this forum really scared the hell out of me because i need this car to last atleast 8 years like my honda.
i wont autox, drag, or rally but occasionally i'll have a little fun on the street if there's a hot girl racing me but seriously i hope my tranny will hold up.

44,000 and essentially nothing. I did have to replace one axle seal, but that wasn't a big deal nor was it linked to driving style. No drivetrain problems otherwise, even after much off-road rallying and a couple of club rallies. Still have original clutch, etc. and have NO day to day problems. No grinding, no slipping, nothing. I'm surprised at those of you that are dragging the car continuously and not having to replace the clutch. Either you aren't getting very good 60' times or you should be on your 2nd or 3rd clutch. NO stock clutch holds up to that kind of punishment unless you take it easy....or maybe some of us just got lucky??
