Hi there.
I purchased a reconditioned bug wrx gearbox for my 05 wrx wagon and my mechanic just called me to say the front drive shafts are different?
Is there anything that can be changed or do I need to buy different driveshafts.
Cheers.
Both codes are the same just one number different.

 

What is different. About them?

 

Male to female and vice versa.

 

MY01-03 comes with male stub shafts in the gearbox. MY03 - TY754VN4AA




MY04 - TY754VN5AA
MY05 - TY754VN6AA

If it is just the half shafts that are different that's no worries

If you have male stub axles. And female shafts remove the stub shafts from the old box long with the seals in the box and refit to your new one. Make sure to get the seals as it won't work else.

And vice-versa for the other way round you'll just need male ended shafts.

I know it works for the 6spds. Can't see why it would be different for 5spds

 

Cheers for the replies.
The guy I bought the box off has sent out the driveshafts from the bug the gearbox was fitted too.so hopefully that will be it.
Mine was a 6aa and his is a 1aa.

 

Unless you change the seals it will not work.

 

I'm fitting the bug gearbox and bug driveshafts to my car?

 

Yep sorry! That's fine then

 

Oh good.
Had me worried there.
Thought the hub ends were different or something.

 

Not on the front. The backs maybeif it had an r180/r160 rear diff but that's all
