good clarification… they are better than the 02-03 “glass” trannys… but buschur racing still managed to shear 3rd gear on theirs with only an sti turbo/intercooler and exhaust/intake upgrade… (which was 295hp and 395tq)

HP numbers dont matter on gear sets, its the initial shock, and the torque the engine produces that will strip the gear set… as we know HP is a made up number for people to brag about.

i saw my buddies WRX with an 18g, tuned by World One in seattle strip RA gears on his 2nd run… first was a 110mph trap, 2nd run he lost first gear out of the hole… had under 1000 miles…
