I just completed my 500 miles brake in period on my crappy GripForce stage 3. So last night I downshifted from 5 to 3 to chsnge lanes and the clutch slipped real bad did a couple more runs and notice the cluth is slipping mostly in 3 and 4 gear.Stay away from Gripforce!
MY SPECS:
02 WRX with STI uppipe and catless down pipe.Stock engine management.

so i was slowing down in a left turn lane. and when i put my car into first it didn't slide in smoothly, so like i usually do i just have it a little force... and *POP* it came out of the plastic ball bearing holder like thing. so then i was stuck driving around all night holding the stick in my hand... man what a bitch. so i put it in and before i re-attached the bar at the middle (sorry for lack of name) i noticed that the white part could lift up and down about half an inch or so maybe... being at a friends garage i just bolted it back on and have used it for the last 2 days and it seems to be working okay, it won't lift up or down really now because the middle bar is holding it down i think.. what do you guys think happened and is it a problem i need to buy a part for or what? i was thinking that last time i was under the car there was a clip holding the white plastic part down but it has been a few yrs since i replaced the shifter bushings under there..

I have 2002 wrx. Motor is built ground up. The 3rd gear sync is bad. What all do i need to do to the tranny to make it able to handle all the power from the motor? Do I need to buy a pre built racing tranny?

Hi Guys,

Quite recently i have a horrible vibration in my car. Seems to be coming from the gearbox or traveling through the gearbox and causes my gear lever to vibrate from side to side and in some cases the whole car. This problem gets worse the higher gear i go but only in the lower rev range. what could this be, please assist i'm really worried. Vehicle is going in on thursday for service.

Hey guys,

My 07 WRX has 24k miles. I live in FL where it is real humid. In the mornings, when I leave for work, the whole 10 mile drive to work is littered with a squeaky noise when I disengage the clutch in all gears, between 1.5 and 3 RPM. Once I get higher, the noise goes away. I tried AC on and off, same result, so it's definitely the clutch somewhere. Any ideas??? Thanks, Derek.

Does anyone here have the carbonetics front carbon lsd ?

Is this okay to use in my tranny? I know most reccomend redline or motul or OEM. What about lucas 80w-90 dino oil?

I have a 06 wrx salvage title with 30,000 on it and im getting a grind into 4th gear when I shift above about 3,000rpms. I have changed the tranny fluid and the oil had no little metal shavings or anything. I was just looking for opinions on the cocktail and if anyone knows where to find the redline lightweight shockproof stuff. i went to autozone and shucks oriely and walmart:) and they all didnt have it. is there anything that is a different brand that does the same thing? i also got a different brand instead of Castrol Hypoy C 80w90 it is 80w90 though. is that ok?

let me know, thanks.
