Hi all,

I own a 2000 2.5RS Impreza, and I' m pretty sure I shot the transmission. I also need to replace the clutch (I managed 110 000 miles out of the OEM one). My choices are:

- to have my current transmission rebuilt (probably very $$$)
- to locate a 2.5RS used transmission and hope it's in good condition
- to use a 2002 WRX transmission I have found, along with the rear diff if needed... I just don't know if this can be done.

Also, I've set my mind on an aftermarket clutch found on Ebay, sold by GripForce, said to be able to handle a bit more torque than the OEM one. Before buying it, I wanted to know if any of you had heard anything bad about it, or if better choices are to be considered instead. Keep in mind I do not currently intend to modify the engine, and I am willing to spend at most 200$ for the clutch.

Thanks to all.

 

No one knows?

 

did you ever get that GripForce clutch? what were the results?

 

well, you could use another used 2.5rs, or you could downgrade to a longer geared wrx trans, or you could go for a jdm short geared wrx trans. My friend is selling one for 600 + ship on RS25, it's a bolt on affair.
