Alex, when was the last time you bought a known-good '06 WRX transmission (or rebuilt one completely) and paid for professional installation?

Just checking. WRX 5MT's for the new cars with the new gearsets don't go for those kinds of prices. Go into any reputable shop (IE, one that doesn't leave linkages fingertight and require a dealership visit) and tell me what they quote you.

I know the early Impreza parts are cheap, I've owned 6 Subarus, lol. Fixing the new ones correctly costs more if you don't have the means to do it yourself.
