New chapter in the Wagon from hell Saga
Well it's been expected for a while now... Yesterday the 5mt *hit the bed. Completely unable to engage 1st and 2nd gear. Grrrr. I truly know the deffinition of love/hate, thanks to this car.
Options:
5MT, cheapest, inferior
RA gearset, better option
V7 6 non-dccd, Better yet, hard to source
V8+ Dccd, best option, pretty damn pricy, integration may not be up to par.
What to do... As if I have the money for any of these options. Anyone have experience with any of these options that could chime in?

Yeah I know what you are saying Jeff, as Ed told me a lot of your story. I'm in a pretty similar situation as you, having a 2.0l that I decided to go ***** out on the engine swap and all.
I think you should honestly evaluate what you want with the car. Whether to just fix it and sell it and get a newer car, really think about what you are spending. I would NOT do the v8 w/ dccd. You need HELLA hardware and time to make that work. You my friend are between a rock and a hardspot.
Me, well I am picking up an E46 M3 so my WRX is just my f'd up beater car soon so hell I might as well sink another 10 grand into it...
