do any of you guys break them? the reason I ask is I am now onto gearbox number 4 and I have never seen a post on here regarding gearbox breakage! I was driving the other day had the foot off the clutch and then I stood on the gas, watched boost climb to 15psi and then listened to 3rd gear strip all its teeth off, oh well I suppose its the price you pay with 242HP at the wheels......

Our gearboxes break, but most of us don't have 242 hp to the wheels

Also, our gearbox may be a little stronger than yours. I don't remember what your running right now. I'm pretty sure all our internals are shot-peened. I know that we do get synchro issues, though.

Hmmm, That'll probably be the next thing I'll have to worry about once I get my Deadbolt Monster 16G in.

I expect to be running around 240-250 whp once it's in. Hehehe

And yes, our 5mt internals are shot-peened. Pretty beefy trannies really, especially when compared to a MY02+ WRX.

I'm not sure what the Liberty RS's got, how 'bout it rsstiboy, what came stock on th RS?

dunno exactly, but i managed to break 2nd gear twice on the first 2 boxes I had, they were Aussie spec ones, then I broke a custom box I had built with my99 STi mainshaft (i think it was the front diff, could be wrong) then I changed to a JDM 4.111 gearbox and i stripped 3rd, and now hopefully this one will be fine
