OK... so how much too convert the car to a 5spd using the WRX changover Earthworm mentioned.. ? I just talked to the wifey... (oh that was a fun conversation .. "just had to have that car didn't you" god i hate the line grrrr) anywho.. so we are talking options now... -lol- like this an operation or something....hey ok honestly... With 4th gear screwing up a lil like this.. is this all that big a deal really? I don't have to get on the freeway to go to go to work..i can just hit the back roads for my 10 minute commute.. My boss told me to try and sell it.. and not to say anything about the tranny (all a private sale has to disclose is smog anyways) if they find the tranny issue... just find another buyer -lol- DAMMIT i want to keep it... not sell it...
