Wel its 4 weeks b4 christmas and i thought that this year i was going to get away scott free with nothing happening ! how WRONG was i . My nice new spanky shiny gearbox i bought of subaru has again gone **** up again for the second time. £2.5K down the toilet .

Maybe its the 2.5 i am running at about 355bhp that causing it ?, i have been told standard scoobie boxes cant take that amount of hp. So i am looking for a 6 speed box from an sti as these are much stronger taking up to 400bhp so i have been lead to belive. Please advice me if i am wrong ! i cant afford anymore mistakes. So i want a box .prop, and diff. Its a uk car so if the gearbox is from a uk car i take it i dont require the diff? will my existing flywheel and clutch fit? Anyway cash waiting or can anyone put me intouch with someone that can help supply me these bits.

i got a six speed prop mate as ive done the conversion and i used a ctg carbon prop so i have 1 spare

 

It is not bhp that kills the 5 speeder, it is torque and driver attitude!
1
Torque:
Seems that the 5 speeder will tolerate about 350 380 lbft (mine has for 2 years road and track)(Sti v3 transmission)
The 6 speeder will tolerate a lot lot more, over 450/500 from what I've read.
2
Driver attitude:
Don't change gear without the clutch when hammering it and it will last!

A 6 speeder 'kit' is needed

Box/rear Diff (unless you have the right ratio already)
Shift linkage/gearstick
Propshaft

The unit is very very heavy so beware delivery charge and installation effort!

18 months ago a friend bought the above (non dccd) for £1400 delivered on a plallet from a good breaker.
It has been perfect using a heathy 2.2 engine and racing slicks.

Hope this helps.

I will have a JDM MY02 box up for sale in the next couple of weeks, if you're still looking then

 

I have a JDM 6speed complete with DCCD box, propshaft, shifter linkage, 6speed clutch and flywheel.
All still in my std Sti Spec C road car so can be tested if required.
