here's a start. not sure if this is too high of a price but I've dealt with the owner and he is a really good guy.

My Transmission Just blew out on my 02 wrx last night as well..I have no idea what I want to do, I have had this car for less than six months and have already had to put 2k into it, now this? Makes me want to replace the transmission and sell it. Don't get me wrong its a nice *** car..but I don't know what to do at this point

Who was the previous owner?
Were there any mods to it/did you mod it at all?

102k
I have no idea, bought it from a dealership
Full Exhaust, Blouch 16g, perrin intake, Sti topmount, others I havn't found yet. And none done by me. Guess I learn lessons the hard way

^^ Yeah, sounds like the previous owner might have launched the car a bit and now you are suffering because of his poor care of the car. Don't sell it though. Rebuild or get a new transmission because if you sell, you lose. Might as well keep a car that you know you are maintaining properly.
