Thanks all, hopefully will have one by Wed afternoon.
All I need now is to pick up a new clutch and get somebody to fit it

I can not wait to get the wagon back on the road, driving the Father in laws 5 series at the moment and its like a boat

Cheers

What Torque are you running and are you buying 2nd hand gearboxes as apposed to having them re-built?

I would get one rebuilt mate, Dannyboy is running around 330 torque and has had his replaced with a re-built new-age WRX box and is holding up very well, he ain't kind to it either!!

Just had mine done and it's running about 370 torque, its a STI 5 box and holding up at present....they are good for 350 so got my fingers crossed

Both done by API
