i went for a ride..had the same 3rd gear issue as always... then came to a red light..tried to put it in 1st and it wouldn't go in at all..when i finally got going... i made it to my destination...as i was leaving..got in the car and tried to go in reverse and the sound was horrible..the gears sounded like they were working against each other...think of a castle gate being lowered..that sound is exactly what i heard...now i get loud thuds going into 1st and 2nd...3rd will not work unless its in neutral first...here is a video to hear what it sounds like just sitting in neutral..

Yeah they would be insane to deny you for that.
Abuse? You would have to be pretty fucking hard on your car to blow the trans or clutch out like that in 6k miles.
but hey, Subaru has been pretty cold blooded when it comes to deciding whether or not to deny service due to misuse. Seems like Subaru is eager to blame the consumer for common problems with the car.
Any issues I've had so far with my FRS, toyota has been pretty good about taking care of. They have even been proactive on things like ordering new heat shields for my car and offering to change the trans and diff fluid for free.
The only problem I've had with Toyota so far is when trying to get them to take the small issues I've had with 1st, 3rd and 5th gear as truth. The service manager wants to help me but the regional rep says that either he needs to come drive the car (which I've told them would be great) or I need to get the shifting issues on tape. So far my service manager and I have gone on 2 15-20min drives together trying to get the shifting issue on video but its hard since mine are very rare.
I'm scared to put the headers on and then have the trans or clutch go out. I already worry that my intake and crank pulleys are going to cause some kind of friction when dealing with the dealership on any engine problems I might have.
