gearbox confusion
 

somebody please help me out here!!

I have removed a broken P1 box and diff from my 1995 JDM WRX and have been told I need a V5/6 box and diff to go back in.

I have also been I cannot use another gearbox in the car because of various reasons, one of them being the amount of holes that connect the gearbox up, now the bit I dont understand is the car is a 1995 model with a 1999/2000 P1 gearbox so surely I can use a earlier gearbox as thats what would have been in to start with.

The problem is I cant find a V5/6 gearbox/diff anywhere:cry: :cry: :cry:

So now I have engine out for HD and no gearbox to put back in, I had a V5 uk Turbo box/diff sorted but was let down at the last min!!!


Any ideas greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

I don't see why you cant use an earlier box (TY752) although they are deemed weaker than the later versions due to case design.

My MY98 WRX has a TY752VBCAA which uses the 4 bolt method to hold it to the engine.

There are plenty of boxes about if you need an earlier version. You already know that the rear diff needs to match?
