Thumbs up FREE 5 Speed WRX Bug Eye Gearbox!

Converted to 6 speed so no longer required.

Prior to this my gearbox was fine. There was a whine on deceleration, which was diagnosed as a bearing. But did not bother to fix as I knew the new box was going in.

Please let me know if it would be of use to you, otherwise it will be skipped as I don't want to sell an item I'm not 100 certain about.

Seems I can't give this away . . . .

So, I'll offer it again. This gearbox was fine, and I'd simply like to do someone a favour who might need a spare or someone's may have gone pop.

Like I said before, there was a whine on deceleration, which was diagnosed as a bearing. But did not bother to fix the bearing, as I knew the new box was going in.

If I can't give it away it will go on ebay when I get a chance to take pics, as spares and described as above. Bidding will start at 99p! Get in early if you want an 02 bug wrx 5 speed box.

What is your link with Sparkford? For most it's where they stop for fuel or a burger on the way to Cornwall.

I used to stop there going the other way to London, If i recall there used to be a great pub on the A303 that did a superb sunday lunch.

Haynes is there as well isn't it?

Back on topic, I would love this gear box, just need a way of getting it to Bedford shire.

I will get on my camper forum and see if I can arrange the free courier service we use.
