just fitted a new gearbox 6 weeks ago,,,,, lastnight as there was football on i asked a mate to drive my car who wasnt drinking so it would be safe,,,,,, the knobber has stripped 3rd gear,,,,,,, so need ANOTHER gearbox now !!!

what causes 3rd to strip,,,,,, will it happen again as my last box the bearing went but gears are fine,,, ty54 is ment to be stronger but it lasted 6 weeks

How did he do it? Missed a gear? Over revving?

And can you tell us what, if any, mods you have, especially those that give more torque, since it's torque that will do for a gearbox?

mods,,,,, the engine is a standard V3 STI boost spike to 1.4 bar and holding 1.1 bar,,,, its slow as anything tbh as ive done handling and then the box,,,,, which has just died pmsl

how hard is it to rebuild a box so i keep the ty54 casing and i have a ty52 V3 STI box that i could use the 3rd gear out of i guess perhaps ?

is it right that i heard a while ago that gearbox should be slightly over filled to cover 3rd gear? or just the voices in my head lol

You dont know how fatigued the box was when you fitted it......
Basically **** happens, it would have happened to you if you where driving IMHO.

I'm now on a 2006 box, at least you know it wont have done too many miles........

is EXACTLY what i told my mate when he offered to buy me another box,,,,, it would have ****ed with me driving ( well i have to think that pmsl)
