imo, get an 04-05 model. Ive been on nasioc for a few years and these model years have had far less tranny problems than the bugeyes or the 06-07s.
The first summer the 06-07 models came out there must have been a broken tranny thread a day on nasioc. Apparently, the torque from the 2.5 is just too much for the tranny they used on the 2.0s.
Early bugeyes had some tranny probs, but supposively the later model 03s had some changes.
The 05 models have been proven to be RA gear width, but not as strong due to the cut. -per Tuning Factory, once known as Godspeed.
