There's definitely more resistance going 2>1 in normal driving then heel toeing into 2>1 at 5000 rpm during an autox.

I put 260k miles on a 2003 wrx 5 speed transmission, the last 90k miles were with an 18G and heavy duty clutch. I don't think these transmissions have the same glass transmission reputation?
