gearbox
hi all,
i'm a newbie here, i have just put a deposit on a 96 wrx and pick it up on fri/sat. speaking to a guy over the road from me and he said i was mad as they have really weak gearboxes and hes heard they fail all the time. is there any truth in this as its put a real dampener on my purchase?

They're fine apart from if you want to start running big power through them...
A wrx box can handle a little over 320bhp but it's the torque that likes chewing gears....however there is a guy on here who run's over 350 on a wrx box so he'll probably tell you different....
A lot like anything, be good to it and it'll be good to you...
