Well car was running great. Took the Wife for a ride around the block. We were a block away from the house and blew 2nd gear in the tranny. So needless to say I now need a trans for the car. the bad part is I'm probably going to have to wait until late this year to replace it. We are building a house and going to be moving around July/August. So car is going to have to go on the back burner. That being said I am looking for a good core 002 5 Rib to build if anyone has one they are looking to sell.

That stinks! Sorry to hear about the trans. A couple of my Buddy's are changing over to 5 speed Subaru transmissions. I'm looking forward to seeing how durable they are.

I will keep an eye out for a 5 rib. Both of the ones in my garage are 3 rib.

Seems to see how my luck goes. I did find a 5-rib should have it next week. should be back up and running as soon as I can explain how its fixed lol. it will be interesting to see what other trans setups people come up with and how they preform.

Glad you found a transmission!

I will keep you informed on the Subaru 5 speed. My buddy is putting one in his Class 5 unlimited Thing.

Zac,
