As per title, according to the gearbox codes mine has this. Does it make it make it less likely to lunch 3rd if running 410/440? Anyone else running these figures with an STI 4 box, whats the general census on reliability?

Cheers

what gearbox code you got?
52 or 54?

 

the code is: TY752VBCAA

 

The double cone synchro creates greater friction/torque for synchronising to the relative gear and provides a better shift "feel".
IMHO - At the power/torque figures you have quoted - its only a matter of time before the gearbox strips something.

That hp & torque on a TY 752 anything, means it'll be toast sometime soon. Don't waste any money on it - upgrade.

Even a TY754 from a 99-on car, will not last too long at that power and torque.

Time to start saving for a PPG or a 6 speed conversion.

Thanks chaps. I was hoping there was something special about the box, guess its PPG then

 

Gimme a call when you're ready to move, we can sort something out for you by way of a good deal.

This is the latest round of abuse this box has taken (probably in excess of quoted power levels running @ 1.8 bar ) YouTube - clspc94's Videos I did 12 runs in total! Is it possible that I have a decent box or do they just give up at random moments?

 

car does go very well mate. but the gearbox will let go at some stage without warning.
i would go for the PPG to keep the weight down the 6 speed is a very heavy unit

David @ API does a cracking lightened flywheel and clutch kit that i put in mine too

 

j16jrf Thanks for the promo, however poor choice of words mate. There is no ' cracking ' with my flywheels they are as smooth as,

sorry Northern Ireland slang there never even thought lol.

have to pay more attention to the communication barrier from norn iron hahaha.

 

I'm OK with it - my lot came from County Cork a few generations ago. Our name is O'Brien which as every true Irishman knows, means I am a relative of Brian Boru - one time King of the place . So watch it, or l'll pull a few strings

I just wanted to make sure all these commoners understood us Micks & Paddies

hahahaha well my family are originally scottish and decendants of King William woohoo so we are both royalty hahaha
the only O'Briens now are the sandwich people lol

 

Double cone but not suitable for your STi Version 4 running 410/440
