What part of a WRX tranny is such a weak link?
They would fit your car. :)Quote:

Second gear is not strong at all. If you aggressively shift 1st-2nd the synchos can't keep up so it grinds. do it enough and it'll grind all the time. The solution for this is to learn how to shift into second smoothly- not exactly easy to do when your after a 12 sec time slip with the stock turbo....
The second failure is still second gear related, but alot more dramatic. Even at my power level its possible to have it happen.... Either from shifting to second hard, or in some cases, even just the shockload of brining the motor into boost with a marginally laggy turbo (flooring it at 2k and the turbo hits hard at say 3300), the teeth on second gear will just shear right off. Not one or two teeth, usually half of them...
My gearbox'll be lucky to make it till winter- especially with 172k+ miles. I'm using a mixture of 3 different oils in my transmission and change it somewhat regularly and thankfully its held on this long.
The six speeds suffer from none of the above. They just have really short gearing thats not condusive (sp?) to 1/4 mile racing. Its been proven many times that at equal power levels the 5 speed usually has better trap speeds and lower times due to having to shift one less time and not having to wait for the turbo to spool up again. This is part of the reason why I was able to hold Steve off for so long despite being down on power compared to him (a better launch and an insta-spool turbo no doubt helped as well. lol).
I'm aiming for stock c6 Vettes with this new turbo. The 1/4 mile times will be on par with "magazine times" but a 40 or 60 roll is a completely different story. lolQuote:

A stock sti block with some headwork on my heads will support the 400-425 i will eventually make with a 20g. If were smart, I'd do a set of forged pistons and be good for 500ish (ringlands are notoriously weak on the sti motors)...

Bacon: I still want your Focus. Won't be able to get it till July though. Would probably have to move to my 1st duty station and then come back and get it. LOL I'm sure that wouldn't work for you. LOL
I still have a few things to fix on it here and there anyways. Probably won't even put either up for sale until May or so.
meth.... I need it!
It's one helluva drug.Quote:
