This is very true, I know a guy that has gone through 3 of them in his bug eye WRX.

This, however, may not be. I asked my buddy that has been throwing trannies out of his WRX why he didnt just put in a STI 6 speed and he said that they used different drivetrains. IIRC none of the spline counts on a given part are the same meaning that to upgrade his to a 6 speed he would have to get a drive shaft, rear end w/ axles, front axles, t case, AND the tranny, not to mention that brakes and suspension probably arent compatible either. This is on his bug eye WRX though, I dont know for sure about the newer ones.

On a side note, how the FUCK did you pull 6g's for your 92 TSI AWD?!
