you need to look at WHY 3rd gear broke. How much power are you pushing? If you broke one stock gear, whats going to keep the next one from breaking?

If I remember correctly about the RS and WRX gears, the RS gears are much closer so it benefits greatly if you are planning to auto-x/track race/tantalus it. You will lose straight line 0-60 times and also lose top end speed, but if it doesn't matter to you, then by all means, go for it.

You're gonna hit redline really quick in second gear, enough for ecu fuel cut so although it will pull harder, you sometimes wish you had a higher redline on the motor.

first you have to find a motor, trans, drivetrain, and all supporting parts. if you are lucky you can find a complete swap for around 4-5K. unfortunately supply is very low in Hawaii and I would recommend shopping in the mainland. with that being said now you have to worry about shipping.

i am just completing my swap of a WRX motor and tranny into a 97 Impreza OBS. I completely lucked out on everything and will have a kick butt car when all is said and done at a awesome price.
