gear box number 3 blows up after a week!
i am ever so slightly pi$$ed off, fitted what seemed to be a perfect box last Wednesday 1 week to the day later and it went bang.
i can get 1st, 2nd, 4th and reverse if i really force it 3rd and 5th dont want to know at all. when it is in gear its ticking and rattling like mad, drained the oil tonight and a load of metal came out with it.
its a standard ty754vn1aa and i am running at about 280bhp, surly that should be ok.
what options do i have, is there a stronger box i can get that wont mean me getting a remap?
any advice would help me very much

i don't drive them on the red line all the time, but like most impreza's it gets a work out from time to time.
so if i buy the box and matching diff will i need a remap? or any other 'add ons'

Not used them or anything but got this link off of this site somewhere during the week,
They say they can uprate some of the internals of your TY754 box??

Just unlucky mate, you do have to be carfull with them though, I snatched mine out of 3rd without the clutch fully disengaged and destroyed 3rd gear, replaced box and been fine since. With 280bhp you shouldnt have a problem, its either how your driving or the box you bought was on its last legs.

get reputable place to rebuild it for you then shouldn;t have any issues, assuiming its not your driving. mine blew at 260bhp/280ftlb, but i openly admit i was giving it death on the isle of mann at the time.
here it is looking rather sorry fo itself,, lol
