There are more than 20 members cars I can think of here that would towel you and your imaginary 1000hp XR8 which is most likely an auto 3.9L EA with an FPR sticker
Dont forget the Hello Kitty stickers there worth more than 20hp per sticker.

Causes can be blocked oil holes due to debris or crappy oil, or leaving the car idling for too long. When a 5 speed* WRX is idling, 1st and 2nd are running on plain bushes (no bearings) the oil supply to these bushes relies on splash from the centre diff turning. When the car is stationary, so is the centre diff, hence no oil to the bushes.

*does not apply to 6 speeds, however the oil pump in them is inoperable at idle also.

Maybe BlacklistedWRX could expand on my brief explanation? He seems pretty clued up.
Thanks you dtrally, that explains it...I do leave my car to idle in the morning to warm up...never doing that again.

Ive got a basic understanding to how the inside works...if it is what you said dtrally...issit better of replacing or keep it and do the repair.

This is the second time it jammed up, but then first time we thought it was just bits got stuck. I just want a peace of mind!

Also what does it involve when it comes to a 6speed conversion?

Whatever it takes you wont regret it. The latter model 6 speeds have slightly taller high gears than the earlier ones. If you do a fair bit of highway driving might be worth trying for a later model box.
