Thanks for clicking this thread...

I am wishing for anyone who has sucessfully made a warranty claim with a Subaru Warranty with respect to a gearbox to contact me at the email address in this profile.

Please don't feel obliged to post details on here. However, I will need your details for a possible case against a warranty company who are in no way related to Subaru.

Thanks in advance

Someone in my office with Y reg UK300 had a new gearbox on warranty - just before 60k I think.

I had a problem with my MY53 sti , it was crunching through gears 2nd to 3rd. Initially i thought there was a major gearbox problem. After close inspection at beachdale they found the thrust bearing was disintergrated. Beachdale put it all back together but there was still a problem but not as bad.
Back to beachdale, they ended up replacing the whole clutch and flywheel assembly(also had the prodrive pack fitted whilst they had the scoob)
Went to collect said scoob, sorted no gear problems and very pleased with the ppp and the service provided by beachdale(very nice people) hope this helps.

My MY02 STI is booked in for 2 weeks time to have the gearbox removed and inspected, as I have this awfull rattling noise when I lift off the accelerator. Problem goes away when I dip the clutch. Will keep you posted...

Beechdale Derby? That where I bought my WRX from in march. Very helpfull.


Got a slight problem with my gearbox, sometimes it wont go into third or fourth. Going to take it to Triangle in Chesterfield next week to see if they can sort it out. I will let you know how I get on.

Thanks for the above - I will need details of claims as I need to show precedence i.e. that where a gearbox has failed, Subaru have replaced and made good.

This is as A. N. Other Warranty company believes it is normal for a gearbox to wear out in under 3 years and less than 60,000 miles of UK driving.

All your help is appreciated

Mail me to address in profile if your are able to help

Not good ol 'warranty holdings' or similar ?

I had a 95WRX which stripped 1st gear. Warranty holding wouldn't pay out because of 'abuse' of the gearbox. They blamed the previous owner (the previous owner was from Japan). I had independent reports etc etc done, but still they held firm. I didn't have the money at the time to pursue it legally.....
