What boxs fit a WRX Type RA?
As above, think iv broke the centre diff and poss 5th gear.
What boxs are straight fit? Obviously the car has a short ratio and no DCCD?
Do UK turbo boxs fit?
Early Sti boxs?
Normal Early WRX boxs?

Nope, F&R diffs must match. I'm on my 4th RA box now. I bought a STi RA V2 box and swapped out the 3.9 CWP for my 4.1 RA CWP and bought a DCCD-pro auto controller.
In hindsight I should have swapped the rear diff, it would have been cheaper and I would have gained a little more top speed.

Look on the vin plate on the passenger side suspension turret, it will tell you what box you have in your car, funnily enough there is a variety of them depending on what year your car is (it would help everyone if you put what year your car was
) saves alot of time and effort typing out the above.

Sorry guys, its a 1994 WRX Type RA, what part of the Vin plate tells me box type, is it easy enough to spot?
I'm guessing the chances of getting another RA box 2nd hand are slim

Its a very short ratio'd box, they TY752 boxes are not the greatest, you could try a ty754, there may be some jiggling involved in fitting but it should be ok
A rebuild would be your best option otherwise.

TY752VB3DA is the box type
Im thinking its the diff is away, both drive shafts have lots of place in them and the grinding noise is going every revolution in any gear
