You want to hurl your fat ass and 3K lbs of metal from 0 - 120mph in 11 or 12 seconds, you're gonna break shit.

I've heard that the WRX transmissions are weak compared to the STI transmissions. Don't know what you have, but if it's the former... do the swap, if that's even possible.

From what I hear, with a WRX you need to smoke the crap out of the clutch to save the trans. Even dropping it in 2nd gear hard can tear it up.
