Cheers guys, much apreciate tha help n advice!!
I guess in the back of my head I knew the gear box was on its way out, i was just hoping for tha best lol!
I will take your advice and cease drivin it, I think i can pick up a second hand 5speed from 'japanese wholesale' for around $1500.. does anyone know anywhere i cud find one cheaper??

In responce to 'wrxtasy' questions, its a 1998 wrx hatch, not sure how many kms the gear box has done, the wrx has done 150k and im pretty sure the gear box has been changed before just unsure when.. and i think its just got standard gearbox oil!!

cheers again!

wrxessive!
