savage bulldogs Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Good to see you back but bad news with the gearbox bud Google your ty ##### number off the white sticker on the bell housing to find out your ratio . And find out what "R" number your current diff is (either a R160 or R180 ) . If your lucky enough to find a 6 speed with the same ratio and diff type you'd only need .... 6 sp Gearbox 6sp Cradle /mounts 6 sp Gearknob/linkage And 6 sp prop . As the newage 5 speed box's Clutch , slave,starter,fly, shafts,speed sensor ,front shafts are all compatable with 6 speed box . So if the ratio and diff type are the same you can leave everything original from the prop back and the flywheel forward on the car If you can't find the right 6 speed you'll need the all above plus it's matching diff ,shafts and rear hubs (possibly brakes and discs as well) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 How are you finding the switch to 6 speed ? Is it a uk ratio or shorter jdm ratio ? If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevell Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 It's a uk ratio mate it's a ty856wn3ca out of a uk 2003 pro drive Sti 😄 Not driven her yet waiting for a new inner cv boot I split and some poly arb bushes but can't wait to see how she fills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Think that's the last year they used the male driveshafts on the front ,so they're might be other differences . mine was out of a 04 uk sti with the Prodrive performance package (the Ppp is a bonus as you get a short shift gear linkage) I've found 1 st and 3rd seem to be shorter than my old UK turbos 5 speed set up but I've dropped about 500 rpm @ 70 mph in 6 th [emoji41] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevell Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 Yeah it has the ap designed suretrac Lsd diff but people didn't like it so they went to a helical type after 03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
