mines a 2006 wrx hawk... the box is much stronger than the 2ltr, i'm running 380 bhp 390 tourque . the engine and box is good for 400bhp
RS74, your box is no stronger or weaker than the one out of the blob 2ltr, well acutally its the same/very similar, so whoever told you that they are much stronger was probably referring to the 6 speed box.
Also, something to think about, the STI engine (2.5 as the 2ltr is stronger
) will struggle at 380-400bhp, it may even go pop, its stronger than the wrx lump, and all the 2.5's suffer similar issues.Tony

Its no stronger than the 2ltr new age gearbox, which was slightly strenghtened over the classic gearbox (none sti version).
The clutch may be larger, that I dont know, but take note that subaru did not want or expect this engine to be running 350bhp/400lbs of torque, neither the clutch to do doing the same, hence why you see a few gearboxes out of these in bits
