Default 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.

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.
