Well I'm on a mission to get the car sorted before Fridays trip to USC.

Drained the gearbox today ready for the run to the POD and found I have 2 teeth and loads of shavings on the plug.

I'm hoping to get another box tomorrow and get my old one dropped and new one fitted before Friday morning.

Once the old is off, I'll start to strip this to find the problem and rebuild it to the way I want.

Not the best of timings TBH but what can I say, its part of Impreza ownership.

 

sorry to here this mate and hope you get it all sorted

 

That ain't good Matt, good luck getting it sorted for Friday have you got one of those magnetic plugs in your gbox??

 

Yeah thankgod, it was plastered in the shavings, teeth and chunks of metal

 

Was there anything wrong with the box or were you just changing the oil for fun lol

 

Changing for fun as usual, though these pieces could of been in there since last
April when I put the new gearbox in.

 

I'm pretty good at this now lol. Can do it in a day. Got it down to an art.

 

What do you charge ?? lol.

The gearbox will be from Mr. D, a local guy not to far from you I think.

 

I have been having some issues with my gearbox latelly so it's been out a few times.

The last time it was jammed in reverse. So it needed to be removed, stripped, selector changed and then placed back in the car.

 

That brings back a memory from last year, I put the release bearing on incorrectly and had to drop the whole thing just to turn it round, I wont be doing that again believe me.

Did you put the longer 5th in afterwards ??

 

No left it as is. Just on the search for a straight cut set with the same ratios as I have now.

 

Im on my second and did mine in a day, pretty easy job. Secret is getting the car up nice and high. Good luck with this dude.
