Uk fifth into an STi gearbox
Right chaps. Have changed to an STi gearbox but not liking the fifth gear to much, how easy is it to get the fifth gear changed?
I have a uk box that came out of mine anyway. Just need to find out what sort of job etc

You will not be able to use any gears out of the UK box,
The Sti box uses much larger / heavy gears
If that is what you were aiming at.
its not a straight forward job
Care looks nice though, and should go well.

Um, can you not just swap the box for a P1 box?

Im sure the P1 gearbox is essentially a ver 5 sti box.
How hard is your car driven? The P1 im talking about was used in anger.
