They give the option to have only the first few straight cut and the rest helical so you dont have that whining at cruise speed.

So they put straight cuts into a 6 speed? Why?

OK lets clear this up.

Putting straight cuts in a 6 speed case is a WASTE OF TIME. The 6 speed is strong enough not to require the upgraded gearset.

If you really want straight cuts, do it in a 5 speed case.

If you want strength and driveability, put a stock 6 speed in.

Budget anywhere between 3.5k - 5.5k for the 6 speed gearbox depending on spec (diffs, etc), and what extras it comes with (there are a fair few bits you need so no use buying a bare box).

Add another 10k to buy a straight cut dog gearset for it.. afaik you can't buy straight cut synchro 6 speed gearsets.

Both prices are EXCLUDING labour.

with a 5 speed box with 1st and 2nd straight cut and 3rd & 4th helical what effect would there be on the drivabilty of the car???

LOL... you obviously really want a straight cut gearbox... everyone here has already pointed out that a 6 speed would be stronger, better drivability and in some way cheaper. Straight cut gears are seriously loud, and definately different to drive with, if your not familiar with them, they can snap out at you and really do some damage to your wrists!!

cheers thats the kinda answer i was lookin for in regards to the straight cut gearset.

how hard is it to come by a 6 speed that would be more or less suitable to a 05 my06 wrx wagon???
