yeah 98's like to blow up, it happened to me at 56,000 miles. rod bolt/oil pump issues.
late 2000-2002 came with LS6 intake which normally go for $300-350 online
they also had the 241 casting heads, which flow a little bit better
01-02 also have the updated slave cylinder (if its a 6spd car)
01-02 steel 3-4 shift fork less likely to bend (6spd car)
the 10bolt rears are a ticking time bomb when u go to the track or race with DR's, i went thru 3 of them
i believe the differentials are different as well, i know my 98 had an auburn unit, while the newer ones had zexel-torsens. i blew the auburn diff in my car, and broke teeth off of my ring and pinion with the zexel torsen unit but did not break the diff.
