You might wish to talk to David at Welcome to the API website

They have a transmission section there whohave done my stock but checked-over Sti gearbox.
An Sti box may be your next move.
Give him a call for a reliable, dependable, and responsible result.

tbh though i'm surpised your box let go that quick running those mods, and at just under a grand sounds rather expensive, or is that including vat and fitting?

best bet get in contact with a reputable tuning company like scoobyclinic or api and sure they can advise whats your best option.

Thats expensive, I purchased a ty754 gearbox of ebay for £250, in full working order.

No, a subaru dealer mis-diagnose the gearbox at fault, an new box was supplied by subaru. So this box was left on a dealers workshop shelf for a year or two. It became available on ebay. Api stripped it and checked it over before fitting it to my car.

I think you missed the joke andy.

Had mine sorted by Zen a couple of yr ago 20,000mile later no issues at all-as good as the day i picked it up-above recon sounds expensive for the condition took mine to Paul had a lightweight flywheel/exedy organic clutch an the box sorted for £1400..................An mine still works!! Cheers Paul.

another vote for david @ api.

my gearbox blew up on december 15th. decided to get api to build me a recon standard one. came to £900 all in, and happy thus far. had another closer tuner fit it along with an exedy clutch. id expect the current standard box to take 300bhp comfortably considering my relaxed driving style.

do you want to have a CONferance about that?
