straight cuts = fully schmick rally spec noise

In all seriousness though, go the 6 speed, tried and tested. As above budget $5-7k for the lot.

wait, your gearbox is whining, so you want to put straight cuts in?

whining on decel is probably your rear diff anyway

If it is the g/box i would rather go the 6 speed! After a while the whining noise of the straight cuts get too you!

if you want quick 1/4 times go cuts

if you want street use and track work go 6 speed

RT did my old rexy for about 6.6k all up including a few other syncros and bits the box needed

just out of curiosity,

how does a 4.44 5 speed box compare to a 6 speed in performance and price?

No offense to the OP, but you should probably read as much as you can on these forums before you start posting things.. your chosen mod path is seriously flawed.

Cheers every one
1. You can only do 1-2 or 1-4, not 1-3.
2. Imagine the sound of driving in reverse all the time. Straight cuts are worse. If you are worried about a little whine on decel, this will drive you nuts.
3. As Jester said, whine on decel is most likely rear diff, not gearbox.
4. Before changing any 5 speed out, smash in some Redline Smurf Snot gearbox oil to see if it helps eliminate noises, notchyness etc.

The transfer case bearings fail regularly on those 2001 onwards 4.44 5 speeds. I would recomend you get someone who knows Subarus to inspect it and quote on rectifying the fault firstly. Full transfer case bearing repkacement would be under a grand, even less if you only change the noisy bearing.
