I understand, but meh. I had my trans replaced under warranty because the synchros started grinding from 3rd > 4th shifts after about 2k miles, but I bought it pre-owned with 26k. This was before the turbo went on. Who knows what the last owner did to it. I definitely don't shift "hard" or "fast", so I'm convinced the failure wasn't my doing. I intentionally babied it, and it did not grind when I bought it. Not to mention I short shifted at 7k 99% of the time. Good vid of how slow I shifted this car here

My 3rd -> 4th shifts I do with my middle finger lol. Not hard to shift this trans, but I do agree a lot of the faults are likely caused by the owners... Still, Subaru will warranty failed synchros so they're aware there is at least some kind of issue. I've owned so many cars, and this is the only car I've ever dealt with a failed synchro on.

the problem with this trans is once the wear starts from the abuse its to late and degrades very quickly especially with the crappy stock fluid

Just my 2 cents worth

Oh yes, the OEM fluid doesn't help the situation at all.
