:happysad:

stripped the 4th gear in my car a few weeks ago and it's going to cost about 2500 parts and labor to upgrade to the STI gearset w/ new bearings and synchros etc etc.

Are the WRX trannys weak or something? Just curious as I'm seriously considering replacing my Civic with one sometime in the near future.
