Last week SOA approved the process to review if the tranny would be covered under warranty or not. Basically what that means is that at my risk and after I authorized the tear down Patriot will remove the tranny and tear down for damage review. Which means if the damage is covered under...

I stopped over to see him, and he doesn't do too many tranny's. He has seen a lot of problematic WRX tranny's though.... He did recommend someone in Windham that rebuilds transmissions, and specializes in "race" cars. He sounded like an honest guy, and recommended to keep on SOA.... That is the...

Thanks for the tranny advice on the serial numbers, that will be a very interesting point to prove to SOA if in fact it is the same box. From what Patriot told me over the phone they reported rebuilds and not a tranny replacement. I'll have to verify the maint. records as Lawdog mentioned...

I've breezed through the online information about the 2004 warranty; available here: http://www.subaru.com/owners/warranty/index.jsp?year=2004 It doesn't explicitly say anything other than the warranty is transferrable and to visit your local Subaru for further details. I totally agree with...

Got the call back from Patriot today. Not so good so far. Basically they told me that the car had been flagged from prior dealer service and they couldn't look at it yet without approval from S.O.A. Apparantly the previous owner had the car serviced at Exeter Subaru for the transmission TWICE...

The car made it to Patriot perfectly fine. 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th are still normal. You can only hear the problem at idle or while 2nd is engaged. The service fellow was nice, but also said the following: "We'll have to inspect the car to insure that it hasn't been driven past it's designed...

Patriot is booked for the afternoon, but I'm going to limp it down there this afternoon..... :-(

2004 wrx 31k miles still within warranty, was just looking for the preferred dealer shop. while in second the rattles/clunks??? Not hard to shift into, and also does not slip.

Just went out to pick up my lunch, and I think I'm losing 2nd gear??? Anyone in Portland right now with an opinion (taking phone calls at xxx-xxxx)? sounds loose, rattles and clanks...appears to only be 2nd right now. First & third sound ok. I haven't taken mine in for service yet, so I...

Now that I think about it, when I had that problem they were Dunlop SP5000's. 195/50/16

Here's what I came up with on a quick google of subaru quad cam: http://www.adelaidejap.com.au/subaru.htm

Gotcha, didn't think my question was that noob like because technically everything I read designates DOHC....and I've never heard of DOHC to equal out to 4 cams, but oh well. Here's info on the US quad cam motor: http://www.transporteon.com/Engines-Q/Quad-4.php My uncle is a mechanic, and I...

http://www.imprezacr.com/spec.php Most of the motors listed there are DOHC...few sohc. Where are the quad cams?

Weird because the Subaru specs page specifies: DOHC, which is usually only dual overhead cam....meaning two. http://www.subaru.com/shop/specifications.jsp?year=2006&model=IMPREZA&trim=WRX_TR_SEDAN granted this is the 2006 tr model but should still be applicable??? The side of your...

Yea, how are the quad cams? DAMN! How many subaru engines came with 4 cams? I know infinity made some blocks with quad cams, didn't pontiac as well??

That blows. My last car (mazda) had low profiles 16's (50's) and I had that same issue, but I drove on that tire for 20-40k more miles... <--- risk taker :-)
