Default Straight cut gears for the 2002 subaru

Hey people i curently have a 2002 subaru wrx and the gear box wines quite a bit whilst coming of the revs whilst doing the gear box up i was thinking of puting straight cut gears for gears; 1,2,3 being on a aprentice wage im tight for cash and need to know would straight cut gears or a whole recond sti 6 speed box be better? And whats the ruffs prices for both these?
Cheers every one

Can do a 6 speed swap for $5K these days.

And a 6 speed is stronger even than aftermarket straight cut gears for 5 speed.

I have some 6 speeds for sale. so if you are interested in going down this path... PM Me.

When and in what gears does it whine? It may be as simple as transfer case bearings needing to be replaced.

If the budget for straight cuts or a 6sp conversion is beyond you, then there's the option to look for a higher ratio 5sp box like a 4.11 or 4.44 + matching rear diff.

Ive noticed that of the people who break a 5 speed, many do it not long after putting in a new heavy duty 5 speed clutch. So when they do the 6 speed conversion the 5 speed HD clutch stays in.
