Drained my gearbox oil and find a fwe shavings and a tooth.

Couldnt tell which one it was from before it shifted great. Now 50 miles later 4th gear is proving a bit tough to engage.

Question - Does it need a fwe 100 miles in for the oil to get around again or is 4th gear now shot?

Sounds like it's time for a rebuild . I got fed up with rebuilding boxes and now I have a modena dog box

B0llocks.

What do you think of it? And how much?

Is it noisy?

Whats the pros/cons of a dog box?

I only finished putting the box back in yesterday , so first impressions are that the box is quite noisey but not so noisey you can't drive round town with out going deaf . The final drive ratio has dropped to 20mph/1000rpm (not a problem as it is not my every day car) . Changing gear is going to take a bit of getting used to as you have to double clutch and rev match on down shifts to get a smooth gear change . I got the gearbox from town end garage , they are not cheap by any stretch of the imagination but I got fed up with paying £500 a time to rebuild the standard box each time 3rd went upto now I've had 4 .
Town End can be reached on 01524733837 give them a call and see what they can do for you .

Hopefully £3000!

Oh well pop my STI6 gearbox in.

I blame the paddle clutch

TopBanana

Yep a paddle clutch would do it!

Surprised it is not clicking under load in the afflicted gear. Mine was also clicking on left lock at parking speeds not in the afflicted gear.

A missing tooth will not have an effect on gear change quality as gearboxes are "constant mesh" ie the gears themselves do not engage and disengage.

Custom, What gearbox is this? Just a Subaru 5 sp or 6 sp or is it something else?
