I am currently having my gearbox rebuilt. My car is a version 1 RA 94 model. After braking 2 gears i mananged to get a replacement gearbox out of a 95 STI RA which we are having to mess about with swapping the diff etc as my version 1 has a larger differential. Please see photo's below as i try to explain the problem with the use of crappy pictures (I apologise in advance)











This is the 5th gear out of my old gearbox.In the pictures the plate that i am pointing at has 3 little steel arms coming off it on the new 5th gear and i wanted to know basically would it be ok to use this new 5th gear in my old gearbox or would these 3 arms that come off the plate get in the way of anything.

Any help would be much appreciated. I apologise for sounding like i am confusing myself let alone anybody else.

Thanks
James

 

I'd have thought your old plate would have had them on?

just swap the complete 5th assembly off the other box and it should be fine.

(just check nothing is fouling when assembling)

 

I think what we will do is use the old 5th gear casing part that is shown as i have the new cog anyway.

Thanks
James
