The RA gears would probably be fine and the 5MT would save weight compared with the 6MT. 6MT swap is preferable if you have the funds. It's a different design and a much beefier transmission overall than the 5MT.

if you do the 6MT swap I know someone that'll buy your 5MT parts

the question is....how did you shatter 2nd and will you be doing that again?

its an 02 wrx, which explains the weak gears. If you want to solve this problem, get RA gears, if you want to make sure it doesn't happen again, go with the 6MT

and I wasnt kidding when I said I'd but all your old parts
