UK classic and Newage gearboxes - are they the same ?
People often talk about how a Newage WRX can cope with around 350bhp.
Is the same true of Classic UK Turbo gearboxes ? In fact, do the two cars have exactly the same five speed box and basic engine lump ?

I know that for the classic there was a change in the gearbox at MY99 from a 4 bolt to an 8 bolt pattern where the gearbox fixes to the engine, this is signified on the part number by a change from TY752 to TY754, apart from that I'm not sure.

David at APi could tell you.
I think the short answer is yes though, from 99> they are basically the same.
