Gearbox beginning to whine
My 40k miles 2006 2.5 WRX Hawkeye's gearbox is beginning to whine, it's worse in 2nd and 3rd, and occasionaly it's difficult to get into 5th gear.
I've had the car a few months, and the gearbox was perfect when I took delivery of the car. The gearbox oil was changed at 30k and I changed it at approx 38k.
Hands up I've really used the car hard lately, I've been doing a cross country B road commute at 3am, 6 days a week 
should I be expecting to rebuild or replace the gearbox? Can the original 5 speed gearbox be rebuilt to a stronger spec?
The car is standard power, but having a remap Friday. In the future I'd like to take the car past 300bhp.
Suggestions please?
