rippley... the more modern (basically anything after the early 80's is syncro'd, but newer ones are more complex) syncro tranny's will not be damaged by a noob driver to stick. As with any transmission, u can bust em. I've known one guy who has a 2k2 wrx and already busted his tranny, but ive also seen cars with 280k on the odo, still running an original tranny. For those of us who CAN flawlessyl match rev's, its sure nice not having to use the clutch for anything other than 1st gear.
