Anyway, I haven't called the seller yet but I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on how to look over the 5mt for defects. I've read a bit on rear seal and bearing failure, 2nd gear problems. Apparently, one of them has the improved 2nd gear.

Any thoughts on diagnosis?
Are either of them from a 2006 or 2007?
