5 Spd Gearbox Strength?
 

Hey Guys,

Just wanting some input. How strong is the 5 speed GB out of a MY05 WRX compared to a MY99 Version 6. 5 speed GB ?


Does anyone have any experience on this?



Cheers

To my knowledge 1st and 2nd gears are larger and a bit stronger in the GD 5 speeds than the GC's.

Cheers :)

300,000km on my version 6 5 speed........still coping with 320hp at the hubs & a 1/2 organic / 1/2 puck rpm clutch with no issue.

The 5 speeds will last if you can look after them and drive with some sympathy.

They won't take well to harsh clutches or clutch dumps though.
