the price doesnt seem that unreasonable, nothing like the $4300 full PPG will cost. I have no idea what the swap and install will total up to. Sounds like Scott or Ryan will know.


You realize that "fully built tranny" listed at $1500 is just the *conversion kit* to get a 6MT to work in a WRX, right? So that's $7000 for the tranny, plus $1500 for the conversion kit, plus about $2000 in labor (minimum)... figure $10k-$12k to put a new 6MT in a WRX.

It cost me about $10k for mine, and I started w/ a used 6MT w/ all the axles, rear-diff, etc.

Like I said... buy an STi. Hell, if you even think you *might* break your 5MT, trade in the car now *before* it breaks and get an STi.
