A Lemon... shure sounds like a Lemon... well at least the drive train atleast.

Its amazing how one improperly manufactured part could cause a cascade effect which inturn distroys other things. its sometimes unnoticeable...

But if all your wheels locked up then there is some serious trouble with the transmission beside syncros and a clutch.

Who know mabey Subaru reinvented the glass transmission :rolleyes:

Every once in a while I hear a customer service horror story like yours, but have no first hand experience with it. But the thing that strikes me is how much effort you must have put in to capitalize the first letter of almost every word in your post.

This Obvously Fits Into The Lemon Law, Used To Protect Consumers From This Kind Of Manufacturing Defect. Around Here, Four Unsuccessful Attempts In One Month To Fix One Major Problem Constitutes A Lemon. If Subaru Cannot Fix Soon, They Owe You A New Car, But Good Luck, As The Wrx Seems To Be Sold Out.

I tried to read your post... but gave up on the second line...

:iagree: starting each word with a capital is kinda hard to read.

WTF!

it's koo, after reading it very slowly so i didn't get a headache i finsihed about 5 mins later.

You should ask to get the number to the District Manager.Those guys will suck your balls if anything has gone wrong.

Iv closed this.

If you really do have a ligitimate engineering or technical problem then start another thread, but in a readable format.

DO NOT USE ALL CAPS! Its almost impossible to read when used in long paragrahs, and this version of VB reduces it all to lowercase with the first letter of ever word in caps.

Use some puncuation, and try some paragraphs.

Your above post is virtualy impossible to read. If you can afford a WRX then I assume you obtained enough education in your life to at least contruct a readable post.
