Look in the engine bay theres a tranny code on the drivers side strut tower.. AA means 02 early 03s and BA is late 03-05

02s and early 03s have narrower syncros. late 03-05 have the same width as the RA gears.

My friends had his 02 now for 6 years with +100k miles stage 2 and has taken it down the 1/4 quite a few times and his is still going. Its all about how you drive it.
