welcome to the M/t club (check manual trans registry thread).

Yes, they are diff to find and yours looks to be top condition.
Did you do a PPI? The sunroof is wonderful if it is problem free.

We shopped for a face-lift 6sp for months before deciding to go with our '01 5sp - which is to say the ONE 6sp we found was priced a Bit precious and we have not seen an Oxford, sport, cold 6sp in our M/T list, so whoever bought it hasn't found X-Outpost yet, heheh.

EDIT: yeah, if there is a M/T Hockey, That would be the Cup of rares..
