Prob $4,500.00 for the trans - clutch - shifter - F & R half shafts - driveshaft - rear diff - rear half shafts rear brembo breaks etc - - I'd sell it at this price but would want your 5 spd equivalent parts as a core !Its been raced two times - but baby shifted all the time and has only 5 k miles - most of it on real low boost

How long would you allow to get 5 sp back to you? Would you include shipping to me?

i still think that the 5 speed unit would have blown up in one day
- but - I feel that one bad shift could grenade the 6 spd also - - in WRX's I think you have to shift very smoothly when you are over 450 wheel hp or the tranmission is going to have a very short life - period
in any event - i've had a lot of luck with the 6 sopd set up and with the 5 speed I had nothing but misery and breakdowns - are you trying to imply that the 6 speed is weak or that I'm falsly promting its strength ? All I can say is that my car won the shootout - and I've been driving it ver day since and so far it runs perfect and nothing has broke

When I say 30 X - I mean 30 x 1/4 mile passes on the 6 spd - NOT 30 differnt trips to the track !
The tranny is already sold
But thanks anyway for the tenth degree interogation

I am not serious...
When I say "You ought to be a lawyer", I mean that you *are* a lawyer, and a lawyer is what you should be...NOT "go be a lawyer, you'd be good at it"!
Yeah, that's the ticket.

I can't wait until you get a new one either. I'd like to read your impression of the differences between your old and new cars. Enjoy it.
