Re: SVX tranny

Definitely avoid the 02 WRX 5 speed.. It was the first year of the dual cone synchros, and let's just say it wasn't ready for prime time. I should know, I bought mine brand new. Replaced the trans 3 times under warranty, and the clutch twice, for uncontrollable shuddering. The shuddering was "fixed" by Subaru going to a 3 pin flywheel, and changing the composition of the clutch material.

It's a horrible transmission, and, IMHO, be avoided.
