I'm in the market for a wrx and have heard a lot about 02wrx tranny problems. around what millage do problems usually start? is there an year of the wrx I should avoid, or are certain years of the wrx better do you know? thanks.

The problems that occur with the WRXs are not due to mileage so much as putting too much power to it or not shifting correctly. 2002-2003 models were the weakest. 2004 and later were built with stronger gears. BUT... if you are driving the WRX stock and treating the tranny well, it will last forever.

Hey, great videos man! I am about to take apart my 5 speed Subaru FWD transmission. Can you explain the gear press needed? Is it a large tool? I'm wondering if it's something I could rent/buy.
Wish me luck, probably need lots of parts 160k+ miles on the transmission and it whines when trying for 2nd/will not downshift at high rpm from 3rd to 2nd. Any tips are appreciated!
Again, great video, wish there were more people posting DIY videos like this.

Wish I could help you with the gear press info... I ended up taking the entire gear set to the dealer to have the gears pressed off/on. From what I understand, you need specialized attachments for each of the gears to ensure proper fit.
Good luck with the rebuild. If I had any tip to give you I would leave you with this... make sure you have the factory service manual for reference!

i have a second gear issue with mine and am thinking of rebuilding my self where did you get the parts and how much was it?

Got the parts from my local dealer. Since I did not have a press to get the gears off, I ended up taking the gear assembly to the dealer's service dept. Parts cost me about $350, and the labor was another $200 to taken the assembly apart and press back in. In the end, I got a new second gear, new 1-2 slider hub, and new 1/2 synchros.
Good luck! It was certainly a fun experience for me.
