as above mine has just started whining when doing 60+, i have a 2004 wrx with 340bhp. any help would be appreciated

6 speed is to expensive as only looking to spend a grand

Look in car parts, Griff is breaking that 425bhp wrx, the gearbox is a TY754 and is good for that sort of power

its got to be cheaper to sort your own bearings out, then buy another

how much does it cost to replace the bearings roughly?

Strongest 5 speed box is the sti 5/6/P1 gearbox. TY754VBAAA but you will need the matching rear diff and gearing will be slightly shorter at 21mph per 1k rpm.

how good are the ra boxes

Pretty good but very short!! 19mph per 1k rpm, so you will be at 4krpm at 80mph. Not very motorway or economy friendly and if you get an sti ra box you will have the headache of trying to retro fit dccd into your car, in my opinion not the best option.

the ra box does seem like a right pain, sounds like the sti 5/6/p1 box is about the best option

I'd seek a lower mileage same box, check on the passenger side front turret plate should read TY754. I understand TY752 not as durable.
The standard gearbox should be good up and beyond 400bhp providing the driver has a car friendly driving style. Lots of quick dashes and pulling the gear lever straight through all the while when acellerating hard would trash any gearbox 5or6speed.
Hope this doesn't seem over the top buddy, it's just the way it's told to me
cheers

to be honest i had heard the newage wrx boxes are pretty tough and should handle the power im running.

japperformanceparts are always breaking cars and they have a good reputation but as said earlier he's asking £600 for that 55plate box maybe wortha a look

How long have you been running 340bhp months/miles.

how many clutch's have u been through..

im been running almost 340 for 6,000 miles (2years now ) cars on 40k before

cars on 46k now

had a clutch at 40,000, (scoobyclinic)

car needs a clutch now too :-(

hope my G.box is ok for now.

believe it or not the standard clutch has been totally fine but i have a fast road organic clutch sat in the garage with a lightweight flywheel as i thought the clutch would nt last long but as the gearbox has to come off i might as well change it now, as for mileage about 4000 miles tops and 6 months but that is reasonably sensible driving, i suppose the thing is you dont know how the car has been treated before i got it

SPIDERWRX

i try to be soft on the gearbox & hard on the clutch lol

my standard clutch died after the remap (it had done 40k)

if you get it rebuild, i would be interested at want it costs

+ if they do a good job (i will take my car there)

The product has always come as described with them, which is more than can be said of some of the others

i will have to give them a call, at least my car is driveable at the moment so i can shop about a bit

No complaints with the service that's for sure, I've been buying things from Saj since he was breaking cars from home years ago.
