after more then a year... my search continues... need a 5spd for my WRX... im currently still deployed but i will be back in mid march and need to find a tranny so i can replace mine and maybe sell her...

 

That sucks,..hope you get things worked out. Good excuse to get a 2011,...

 

were you using stock or aftermarket clutch?

 

You should go with ppg or atleast ra gears with that engine setup

 

Get a 5 speed legacy gearset and call it a day.

 

Just runumhard!!!

 

ACT 14lb flywheel w/Exedy 6puck solid hub clutch...

i actually remember seeing a legacy with a 5spd in a junk yard the other day...

 

that will merk! subaru trannys! you want your clutch and your failsafe not your tranny as your weak point

 

when i originally got it, the was an Exedy 3puck in there! lol

 

Yup stock tranny sucks! Ra gears was a nice upgrade for me! Thanx lo!

 

That's your first problem. Always use a stock clutch with a stock wrx trans...period. If a stock clutch can break gears why the hell would you want something stronger?

and the solid disc is just asking for something to break, the springs are in the disc for a reason...to absorb a little of the shock if you dont slip the clutch properly.

the smell of burnt clutch is actually your friend...unless you want to drop a few thoushand on som stronger gears.

Don't even waste your time with RA or 04-05 gears. They dont like stronger clutches either.

You can get the MFactory close ratio 1-4 for only $2300

 

yea... wouldnt have any issues if i actually had that kinda money mr i have 12 cars at any givin time lol

 

^^^ I know right...I took a crap last night and I swear I saw $200.00 in the toilet when I flushed it...HAHAHA

 

Mine blew up the same as stock. PPG or 6MT if you want piece of mind, your wallet on the other hand may be upset!

 

yea my wallet seems to have pulled an "Anne Frank" on me...
