Gearbox Required

[Xitwoundz]

Hi guys need help.

I have a WRX 2.5 2007 the gearbox fluffed after 10 days and i have had an ongoing battle with the garage to fix it. they have given me the gearbox code TY754VG7AA so i can assist in the search for one. anyone have any ideas on where i can find one? ive tried a few places but atm looks like ill have to order one from abroard. 

Any help would be appreciated

Sorry to hear your having issues especially since you haven't had it long .

Matty @ mb developments would probably have a gearbox in stock. he's a reputable breaker of scoobies and can deliver on a pallet (give him a google to find his contact details )

All the best

If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

Had a look at a couple of options today not checked how much a standard 5 speed rebuild will cost but have found the price for the following if anyone needs to know. If rebuild comes close to these two prices i think ill look into one of these instead.

1. Elite racing transmission - £2995.00 + VAT 5 speed Box
2. 6 Speed conversion - £2350 VAT inc 2007 Hawkeye

Brand new £3654.44 + VAT. the 1st option above is gearbox strip and all inside bits replaced but would be a dog box and noisy as hell. 2nd option is refurbished 6 speed box conversion. just phoned around a few places and they cant quote a refurb without having the box to strip down and diagnose. my options are slowly diminishing have a feeling the dealership will back out of the deal instead of cough up the costs.

Well surly the garage must provide you with either a brand new box or an equivalent considering it's only been ten days otherwise they have to refund your money and just give them the car back .. When you say the gearbox is nackerd how exactly is it broken?

they have been fighting for me to take my money back but 10 days was enough for me to fall in love with the car. I want to keep the car but im pushing them for a fix if i can get one but i dont think they will cover that sort of costs as its half the value of what i paid for the car. as for the gearbox 3rd gear is gone and it sounds like something is rattling around inside.

Oh that sucks hope you get something sorted

Depends what work you need. I just paid £500 for new bearings, synchro's and seals in my box.

Where from?

[Scoobyghost]

A company called East London transmission.

There's 2 main differences in newage subaru 5 speed boxes other wise all bug eye 2001 to hawk are interchangeable.

google your ty .... number to find the ratio of your box and whether your car has a R160 or R180 rear diff .

3.54 is the UK ratio which is normally accompanied by a R160 rear diff but jdms and some special editions differ. so make sure the new box matches your original ratio /diff type and you can use your existing diff and prop with another same ratio blobeye onwards 5 speed box

If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊
