The box job on a Impreza is 4 outa 10 compare to other cars. Try doing a E36 M3 box that ain't fun at all.

Chin up and slap a new box I'm job done

 

Hi there

Probably worth have look on older TY754 which are stronger than TY752(New age) and many people run on them early 400bhp and some above 500bhp without the issue

You are probably need to learn how to drive,if you are killing the gearbox,as many people run on New age WRX gearboxes lot more and they're not broke 5 speed

Nothing is bullet proof,6 speed will or can break too,like any gearbox

Good luck there

Jura

Many people proven on 5 speed you can run lot more than 330/330,its really depends how you drive and how you change the gears etc

PPG again,we run our at 555.5bhp without the issue,on previous occasions we are run 490bhp plus NOS,wagon has been used on drag or track days and we never have any issue with the gearbox plus we run WRX Driveshafts and WRX rear diff

6speed is nice,but still I prefer 5speed PPG due gear ratios and whine noise of the straight cut

On mattys big sale thread he has a ty754 gearbox £150 only a slight crunch in 5th with a fast gear change at high rpm.

 

Are you serious? The forum is all the worse because of people like you.

The UK turbo/ wrx gearbox is perfect for what it was designed for. Yes, if you start doing 7k launches and constantly drive everywhere like a tw&t, then yes, of course it will break, just like any other gearbox. I also understand that they are nicer to use on a day to day basis.

It's the only gearbox I've had the four scoobies that I have owned. (Two of those were classic sti's, so they can't have been that bad!) And it's one of best 5 speeds I have ever used with the integra type r being the best.

The main problem is when people start taking the wrx beyond the capabilities of the standard td04 turbo. If a transmission is rated at 300ft/lbs of torque on a light duty of say 800 hrs per year, 5% of that at full power, then it is very easy to understand why they fail when people start using then in a different way than what was intended. That is how a manufacturer specs a transmission. I know, as I sell marine and industrial transmissions for a living.

What I think some Impreza owners fail to understand is that for many people, the WRX offers the perfect compromise between power/speed/reliability, without looking like a boy racer.

 

you should **** off and take emmas with you, will be 2 less idiots

 

you pigeon english is getting a bit better

 

The code on the box i took out was 77-TY754VN2AA
So it was the stronger box.

I just dont think i could live with a straight cut nox on a daily basis. Im getting older lol

 

How do you get a 2k return on a boggo wrx ? I struggle to get a grand from a bug wrx. Even with a gearbox to sell.
No offence intended, but 2k return is a big dream m8.
£400 engine
£150 box.
£40 for bonnet
£80 for brakes
£200 U.K. 300 trim.

Not much saleable gear after that pal.

 

The best example of this has to be the M32 6 speed box used on the Astra VXR/CDTi. The box itself is rated for up to 320nm, which funnily enough is around what the Z20LEH (and what ever the 1.9CDTi lump is) is good for output wise. I'm sure we can all guess what a common failure is on the Astra VXR

 

What about doors, wings, bumpers, spoiler, interior trim parts etc
It is a uk300 so has the hella headlights etc

Body panels arw not mint tho, stone chips and the odd dint etc

Well i stripped the box down earlier and its second gear that has gone.
All the syncros etc look to be in very good condition, no wear at all that i can see

Now thinking about trying to buy a new mainshaft, new second gear and replace all bearings and seals. As it looks to be in very good order.

Ill take it work when i go back and clean it all up if i can source the parts

 

Just put a new box in and stop complaining

 

As in brand new?

Icht dont think so!

By new you mean second hand with potential problems...

 

Get your breaking kit out and don't listen to Paddy, he knows absolutely **** all about Imprezas

Once you've made your dorrah on it you can get yourself an STi

 

I've not changed a gearbox on an Impreza, but most of the things I've done have been relatively straight forward (well more so than I thought for an idiot like me).

Try changing the throttle cable on an old school Vespa, or the rear wheel on a Honda Goldwing .

 

I must be doing summat wrong

I only break and repair Subaru's for a living for the past 15 years.

Lol.

 

Well, i dont want to break it as i quite like drivimg it. But the more i think about what i want to do the more its going to cost of course.

I guess im going to repair it, but again its how to go about it. Just stick a second hand box in and hope for the best, or try and repair mine. Now i dont know where to get parts from, other than subaru and the nearest dealers is a good 30 mins from me.

 

TY754VBAAA's are rumoured to be one of the strongest early 5 speeds, the same as a P1 I believe. Again rumour, but I've heard people on here say they "can" be ok up to 400BHP.

Maybe give this chap a shout....

Unless your going to replace all the innards of the gearbox, your going to be as well to fit a secondhand box. Yes, only second is damaged as far as you can see but how well will the rest of the gear set fair once in use again. You can't warrent how long it will last, just the same as a secondhand box. Stop ****in about and get a box in the car and drive it.

 

Kwick, the one in the second link is sold.
But the first one is in oxford, im swindon so not far!!

Cheers bud ill try and get hold of the chap!!

 

Oh, would the P1 box be a straight fit or would i need the rear diff etc? What about prop and shafts etc oh and clutch???

Cheers!!

My car is a 2001 bug uk300

 

From what I remember you'd need the matching diff. Good bit of info on this thread...
https://www.scoobynet.com/929113-cla...on-here-5.html

 

I'd recommend fitting a matching diff anyway.

 

Cheers chaps, hopefully its not sold

 

Managed to find mateys number on the P1 site, he still has box and diff in the car so i can check to make sure all is good.

Looks like this may be the way to go then!

 

Don't be put off by the ******** on here who seem to reply to every single thread. They obviously have no life

 

Another good thread here....
https://www.scoobynet.com/scoobynet-...d-gearbox.html


2 people I'd listen to over post count ******.

 

Found a box and diff very local for £250, so will probably go that route and have mne rebult in the mean time.

From more research it seems that the P1 box has short ratios, so again not good for a daily.

Cheers all

 

If you found it hard to get the box off wait till you try and get it back on 7 out of 10 times it's a bit of a mission, done loads in my time from 6 speed to 5 speeds and its always better if you get someone to give you a hand

Hope you get it sorted

 

Cant say im looking forward to it tbh!
Hopefully picking the box up at the weekend but need to get new exhaust gaskets in the mean time. There is a subaru dealer local to where the bix is so ill pop in there and see if i can get some. Are subaru parts places open on saturdays?

 

E36's are easy to get the box in and out of!
