02 rex 240 whp 63000 miles ...second gear against a modded 1.8t jetta kaboom ...go figure didnt see that coming lol ....n e one have sucess with the cheaper r/a sti gears?? or should i go ppg or something ...im looking for a mid 12 second car eventually..mid 13's for now though

 

come on i know you guys have had tranny probs fill me in

 

What are your mods and year?

 

ppg.

 

02 wrx.... hks up pipe/tbe ..utec stge 2 tuned ...turbo xs front mount and mbc 248whp

 

If you have the cash and plan to make more than 330 whp...ppg.

 

ppg

 

if you still have the 5speed... that is your weak point right there... even with a ppg gearset, you still have the chance of failure because the 5speed housing just can't withstand that much abuse... start out with a sti 6speed swap.... you can get one without the dccd controller and the tranny will automatically default into 35/65 torque bias which is good to dragging or tracking or pretty much anything you do with the car...

I was thinking of the ppg dogbox too, but I found out from mike at gst motorsports what I just said above... so think about that... you'll have less problems in the end with the same amount of money you are going to spend on a ppg gearset swap because the sti 6speed is almost bulletproof

 

if you got the money get a 6 speed...if your broke like me I got the ra gearset
