they are "rally" cars but can't handle being driven like one. sti tranny is bullet proof though.

Re: God Damn WRX transmissions, motherfuckers....
 

It could be something stupid like the linkage. Check the obvious ---- first. Hell depending on your clutch maybe your flywheel bolts have backed out, or something besides the tranny is fucked.

300hp isn't a lot. I have lots and lots of friends with WRX trannies that have torn them apart on the tracks weekend after weekend and all they ruined were clutches.

RA :D


Just get some STI gears. You want have to worry about it anymore after that.

Re: God Damn WRX transmissions, motherfuckers....
 

i have friends with sti's that have blown the rear diff after 8k miles on the stock clutch, if that says anything

Re: God Damn WRX transmissions, motherfuckers....
 

I will check some things, but keep in mind 1st, 4th and 5th still work fine. and there's a little grinding noise when driving it, like loose pieces just jumping around the case.

If it would just not go in gear, then I would think about it being the clutch, or shifter or anything else.

Sorry to hear that. I was reading up on wrx's and they say the 02 trannys are really weak. What if you just swapped in another 02 tranny or 03 and then sell it?

Re: God Damn WRX transmissions, motherfuckers....
 

its not the gears dude. get the whole sti tranny then you wont have to worry about fixing it again.

Re: God Damn WRX transmissions, motherfuckers....
 

If I get Jeff's brother's tranny, I'll go all out on this car when I get the money. What held me back at 300whp was the weak ass transmission. If I get the STi one I'll build that fucker out.

I'm just wainting on Jeff getting back to me about it. It sucks driving with no AC in Florida, the hatch has no AC and it's still 90+ degrees out here.
