| Description of the problem | My son owns a 2014 subaru wrx with a manual transmission. On 25 nov 2019 he was driving on 501 towards lititz/lancaster pa when his third gear decided to destroy itself while driving @ 45mph. I have read about so ma y of these manual transmissions destroying themselves under normal driving conditions. That car is his pride & joy until this happened. He purchased the car in maryland. Watching a rebuild on youtube after his phone call it seems that this is a common problem in any helicut gears. Lousy materials used. Being around cars, street & hi performance rides all my life i have never heard of a manual transmission destroy itself while driving at normal/highway speeds. Either subaru manufactures it |
