What part of a WRX tranny is such a weak link?
They would fit your car.Dang it Steve? Why +45?
You say that now. Soon enough it'll be, "I just want to hit 400. Then I'll be happy." Then a couple months later. "500's and I'll be finished." Then you'll start wanting to take down Exotics and bikes ect.......It'll never stop. Hahahaha :P

02-03's have a second gear cog that's a bit narrow. Either in late 03 or starting with 04 this was fixed along with better syncros (I think- not 100% sure). In 06 and 07 (the same years the WRX went to the EJ255 2.5 motor) the gearing was changed a little for a bit wider gears.
While the 04-05 and certainly the 06-07 transmissions are better than my 02, they still suck.
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. lol
I know the limits of the stock internal motor won't let me make more then 350-375 reliably- the car is my daily.... 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)...

Ain't that the truth!!!
Go get a cheap Multi-meter from Harbor Freight and check all of the leads for power at the window motor and lock actuator. And as said above if you cant get ahold of a meter, go buy a cheap ass test light from Advance or autozone and see if theres power.

yeah i thought i did then i relooked at it
and idk if you have ever spelled mine right

'05 ish. One will be in my possession by the summer. Gonna wait until the Focus is paid off and see which of my cars is sold first.
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.
