Scooby South's Tranny Goes South



Well after 2500 miles on my RS/WRX hybrid...(300hp to the Crank on a 02 WRX motored RS)...my Stock RS gearbox gave up....(pay to play)...Luckily for me I already had sourced another Tranny with 8000 miles on it....so its just a matter of changing it out....But my plan is to put Turbo Forester Gears in my original case.......since they hold 240 lbs of torque from the factory...1st and 2nd is gone in mine...so I will replace 1st, 2nd 3rd...the syncros....the Baulk ring...and the Bearings ...It will be stronger when it goes back together....so I am looking forward to that....I like my 4:11 gear ratio so I won't have to change out the diffs ....
(the turbo Forester has a 4.44 ratio)..So thats the plan....Don't feel for me....Like I say it would bound to happen (AutoX, Daily driver)...Car and tranny has 46000 miles on it...its been thru a Minnam Stage 2 Turbo setup on the Stock RS motor (4500 miles)....probably 150 autoX's.....and now with the WRX motor( 2500 miles)....All in all..I love how it drives...my car is ALWAYS on the turbo....Just have to make it better..

He's got a great attitude about it though!

Yep - if you beat on the WRX 5MT it WILL come apart at some point in time.
