direct injection would have been nice bump the power up pos: 20 or so kilowats . Plus option 2.4 for ES at a cost!

Just wondering what is the cost difference between a Manual the CVT and the SST used in the RA and EVO?

Is the Manual a lot cheaper to replace/repair?

CVT's are around 600-900 at wreckers. should be ok providing there is no damage to the unit and all fluid is still there. and no missing dipstick.

i've seen 5k-7k from dealer.
