Need advice for my new 5 speed box
 

Hi all,

finally got my replacement box after much procrastinating. It's from a version 2 JDM STI 555 edition and has only travelled 19000 miles. FD ratio is 4.11 to match my current rear diff.

basically i just need some helpful hints to prepare/check the box before i make a decision on how and when i will be doing the transplant. I have a new exedy HD organic single plate to go with.

Also if someone has any literature i can read up on about gearbox swaps for gc8's or any past experiences with performing swaps for early wrx's that would be great as well! :)

Thanks!!

confirm the gear box code so you can ensure you have the correct rear diff ratio

someone posted a chart a while back and i went off that.
my current box is a TY752VN4BA and the new one is TY752VB4AA.
seems to have slightly closer gears from 2nd gear up. both 4.111 however

the chart is god :p
