Does a UK gear box fit JDM
My mate has a version 1 WRX import and he thinks the synchromesh is going as its slightly crunching in between gears. He's been told a UK gear box will fit, and of course this will change the gearing which he wants aswell. Also his rear crank oil seal is leaking, so i'm not sure if thats playing apart in his gear box problems as the cars very low miles.
As anyone heard of this being done or have any advice?

A replacement UK box going into a JDM will fit as long as it has the matching rear diff it will also last lol
same goes for a jdm box in a uk car
BUT, i wouldnt want a UK box in a jdm, the whole point of the JDM is its closer gears, higher revs, albeit only couple hundred rpm but it makes a jdm as boring as a uk car ( can of worms there ha )

Well his rear crank oil seal is leaking, so that needs replacing, clutch is being done at same time, but we think the synchromesh is going also as its grinding in between gears sometimes, so looks like might need a new gearbox.
Also he's finding he's always on boost, and hes finding it annoying on long trips. Open to idea's?
