The core business of Api is Japanese engine, gearbox rebuids as well as Subaru tuning. Also anything else they care to turn their hands to

Check out their website

There is only one place to get your gearbox refurbished, and that is TEG. These are the guys that all the rally boys use. My mate just bought a 6 speed sequential box off them, and they are the dogs bollocks fella.

I would go API too, though when you say "upgrade" your 5 speed box, do you mean a new (much stronger) gear set? and have you actually seen how much they are? (you wont get much or any change from 5k for a ppg or sc gearset build), you can buy a new age bug STI for that money!
