[boab type ra]

on way home from work i lost 3rd gear and won`t go into 1st or 2nd so av lost another gearbox

option 1, send the 3 gearbox i have to a specialist 2 make 1

option 2, buy another classic box

option 3, try and get a newage box but not sure what i will need for it

hoping to get it up about 350 bhp so if anyone can give me advice i would be greatfull

a newage STi but you will need one from a pre 2005 to save changing the hubs, you will need gearbox, clutch, propshaft, diff and drive shafts from a newage sti

id suggest an uprated gearset into one of the boxes you have and a specialist rebuilding it - should be cheaper than a newage 6 speeder fitted and capable of handling the power your after

been looking at 6 speed boxs but out my price range at the moment. tryed looking for uprated gears but all i can find is scoobyclinic helical gear kit which is more expensive than a 6 speed so i defo can`t do that. is there a classic gearbox that would be strong enough for 350bhp or will i need to keep it at the power its got at the moment

A late classic sti (TY754) box will work and probably one of the cheapest options if you get a good one.

Other option is get yours rebuilt but early classic boxes may not cope well with 350, thats why i sold mine.

That's the direction I took with mine, I went for a MY99 V6 Sti Box from a P1.
