uk 2002 gearbox blown
hi there everyone im new to this site after searching for gearbox information about my 2002 uk wrx subaru i found this... now i took the gearbox out yesterday to find that it has stripped a couple of gears (after banging it into 2nd gear i heard an explosion and lost drive) whoops, now the box removed was a 77-TY754VN2AA , i had a classic k reg import before which i replaced 3 gearbox's which diddnt last too long as i later found out u have to get the right one to match the rear diff... just wondering if anyone has a box that will fit mine or knows if any other box will be compatible without swapping diff over ect, cheers guys :thumb:

ive got the same problem has you, same happened to me and its a 2002 aswel. ive blown 3 box's up now and getting fed up with 2nd gear blowing up! so 2 options ppg gear set or coverting it to 6sp sti box and drivetrain.
|
dont bother with 6 speed
1. up and down the box alot 2. weak syncros on 5th |
box
yeah think im going to stick with the 5 speed, give it another chance, only thing with buying a second hand box is you 90% know its been abused and had a hard life a rebuild is an option but just want it up and running really:)
|
if you keep killing box's then your just gonna kil another, as said if you wanna keep the 5 speed then your only option is ppg set or similar
|
why are wrx uk gearbox's so weak in 2nd gear????
|
2nd and 3rd gear is where most pressure is put on the box, its the most commonly used gears so suffers more wear and tear
|
blown box
managed to get hold of another box off ebay supposedly "rebuilt" may try to stop driving it like a rally car now when its fixed but cant see that lasting... these cars make u wana drive fast :lol1:
|
so why dont the sti box's have this problem?
|
yep i blew a 5 speed bug eye box up too, luckily it was still under warrenty!!
|
i have a 95 with a 02 box just had it rebuilt at cleckheaton gearbox with new clutch fitted cost 960.
came with 12k or 12month warranty so for state of mind i wouldnt buy 2nd hand! i did look at 2nd hand but found people were after 4-500 for each box??? take off 250 for the clutch and i didnt get dirty i know what i would do!! still pi55e5 me off that they keep going though |
blown box
managed to pick mine up for 270 quid second hand luckilly all is ok at the minute also had to do a 500 mile round trip to collect it from manchester so all in all owes me 320 fitted my self in a morning on the drive would be much easier on a ramp i reakon, spose i better try look after this one.. :lol1:

Scooby Clinic | The UK's Largest Independent Subaru Specialists | 01246 590 807 - Chesterfield S42 6QX, built mine and wouldn't go anywhere else :D
|
well after the poll, and people leaving feedback, dont think i want to go there.
any more places? |
each to there own mate, but bear in mind the main comments that realy kicked off in that thread are best part of 3 years old :0.
i wouldn't worry, there two sides to every story and if you hear clinics side then its a whole different ball game. they are a great bunch of lads and will do a good job. i wouldn't take mine anywhere else |
