Leave your windows cracked when it gets hot. If not it will condensate in your car. Lesson I learned from when I did that.

That's what allowed the water inside the car in the first place.

It rained at 7 am and I had the entire day to dry it out. There isn't even a smell now. It also helps that I cleaned most of the **** out of there a week before.

6100 Shipped.

07 STI 6speed w/ Shifter assembly, Mount, Axle seals and stubs.
Southbend Clutch
ACT Streetlight Flywheel
Goodridge SS Clutch Line
Kartboy Front shifter bushings
Cobb Double adjustable Short throw
Cobb Shifter Knob
7qrts of Motul 300

The Transmission came with the shifter assembly, mount and axle seals/stubs for 4800. shipping was 450. The company wheeled it into my garage. No Tax since out of state.

I did the swap at home so no Labor charges.

I'm doing a write-up/walkthrough with pics detailing how to do the swap as well. Will be giving a list of people who have helped with websites and phone numbers.

I'm Making it as detailed as I can, so it may be a week or so before I post it.
