i was driving in traffic when my car started making a noise in second gear, so carryed on and then bang it went,

it came out of gear and was hard to get in any gear,

i manged to get home by pushing it in 1st then got it in 3rd got home now its sitting waiting for a 6 speed conversion,

when i start the car the gearbox rattles like mad like there is bits in the box. if i press the clutch in this noise goes away

is it a dead box?

im doing the STi 6 Speed anyway now its gone just wounded if anyone knows if 2nd is well a truly dead

Should like you have stripped 2nd gear. When you press the clutch the gears are no longer under any drive that is why the noise dissapears.

Your box will be Ty754VN1AA or 2AA. I have a full set of mint shafts for your box for sale if you want to refurb the box and sell it on.

If you have a my99 onwards (facelift) the sti5 gearbox is no stronger then a my99 uk car
