Youre 2.5, is a slightly different animal! []

Monty,

Have you tried all the obvious local places, like Medway Transmissions and star transmissions?

Do you still have the old box?

They might be able to make one good one out of the parts???

this is the route ive just taken, picked up a Spec-C gearbox, clutch, DCCD, and flywheel from a very reliable source []

I have thought about uprating it, but havent got the funds at the moment. I put in a stonger Ty754 box the last time in the hope it would hold out on my 268 ish bhp 291 ftl torque.....

I have taken the old box to medway transmissions and they have said it will need a whole new gearset and dont want to touch it as they dont like to do impreza gearboxes.... actually anything performance they said.. lol

if you blown two already chances are youll blow another and thats more of yer hard earned up the spout, i would say bite the bullit and just upgrade it, you can pick up a 6 speed for a pretty reasonable price just now and there pretty strong!

mont i have a idea, why not put the car back to standard, then you would`nt have this problem each time. (thought of the day)

[Montythegod]

Like I have anything standard ! I even modify my runarounds.....

[] Has been fixed !  Finally managed to get the car over to Star Transmissions in Medway City Estate and he removed the box, replaced the broken Selector and 2nd Gear, re assembled and reinstalled box in car. all for under 400 quid !

 

Whilst I was there he had a scooby box on the floor ready to go in a car and also had a white classic with black graphics up the side ( from bexley) in for a new 3rd gear. He seems to know his stuff with Imprezas. Will keep you informed if I have any problems !
