Now you said you recently bought the 2004 STi, so maybe it wasn't you that messed it up completely......but the fact of the matter is.....someone did. What you described was a syncro problem. Syncro problems on a STi only come into play from bad or abusive driving. As long as you keep the tranny fluid in the case the STi synchros will last for a long time and a ton of power.

Now it is very rare that a STi syncro just goes bad from proper gear changing. But you got to ask yourself........What are the chances that 2 go on the same tranny?

Subie trannies need tender love and care. They can't just be banged into gear like Honda's.
