Lemme know what you think
WRX and lasting with no issues is an oxymoron, LOL

Seriously though WRX's are hit an miss on being problematic. Don't put one bolt on it unless your dealership is mod friendly.

I asked a local mitsu dealer how much just for labor. Service manager said 1,200$
Most good performance shops will charge about 600 not including fluids....give or take 100.

'I have this rare diamond that just needs a good polishing that I'm considering trading in for that stick over there...'
'Which stick?'
'Eh... doesn't matter, either of the 6 billion will work.'
'Well, this stick is new, so it's going to cost more than that rare, unpolished diamond you have.'
'Fine by me!'
haha j/k. If my opinion isn't obvious enough, get a new clutch and replace the fluids. You'll run into the same problem with any manual, awd car with enough miles on it.

Oh, and good luck changing the spark plugs on your new wrx
