What is a double cone 3rd syncro?
As per title, according to the gearbox codes mine has this. Does it make it make it less likely to lunch 3rd if running 410/440? Anyone else running these figures with an STI 4 box, whats the general census on reliability?

The double cone synchro creates greater friction/torque for synchronising to the relative gear and provides a better shift "feel".
IMHO - At the power/torque figures you have quoted - its only a matter of time before the gearbox strips something.

That hp & torque on a TY 752 anything, means it'll be toast sometime soon. Don't waste any money on it - upgrade.
Even a TY754 from a 99-on car, will not last too long at that power and torque.
Time to start saving for a PPG or a 6 speed conversion.

This is the latest round of abuse this box has taken (probably in excess of quoted power levels running @ 1.8 bar
) YouTube - clspc94's Videos I did 12 runs in total! Is it possible that I have a decent box or do they just give up at random moments?

car does go very well mate. but the gearbox will let go at some stage without warning.
i would go for the PPG to keep the weight down the 6 speed is a very heavy unit
David @ API does a cracking lightened flywheel and clutch kit that i put in mine too
