Which gearbox to upgrade to??
Impreza classic turbo 2000 year 2000..I have burnt out 2 boxes in a year...ty754vn1aa must be crap. Has anyone upgraded to a better stronger, sensibly priced,no faff installation box without taking a 6 speed route???

You say burnt out....do you mean stripped gears or selector or bearing failure. What power and torque you running through it...

First one had a whine in second which went higher pitched with the revs..put another one in, this one has had a whine in third between 1500 and 3000rpm....and is getting slightly worse since i put new tyres/adjusted tyre pressure....approx 280bhp...

I would get your box rebuilt properly as the easiest option...secondhand ty7541aa are all 15 years old now...they will all be past their best..280 bhp should be ok for a 5 speed used sensibly. STI box is a nice upgrade for a uk car ..ratios are better if you like A to B sprinting. Still got acceptable top speed. You will need the matching rear diff for the sti box as well. Easy swap too.
Or a 6 speed... I just converted my classic. If you source a uk 6 speed you will just need..box with clutch fork..rear rubber gearbox mount..bug sti prop and 6 speed complete gear linkage. Straight bolt in job.Everything else you have fits.

Full box rebuild would be how much?? Any ideas? That seems a very sensible route to take....
