RANT ON
driving home tonight i had another gearbox let go:(
just driving along doing about 60 in 3rd and it sounded like someone emptied a bucket of bolts onto the gearbox
so now for me thats 3rd gear twice, 2nd once, reverse once and rear output in about a year and a half
usless bloody glass subaru gearboxes GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
/end rant
ps: anyone got a dccd 6 speed going cheap?

Bluesteel... this could be saying something about your driving...
Don't worry about a 6 speed, just more gears for you to bugger, go auto! hehe
*Hides*

Surely you jest, ANOTHER gearbox!
And going to Symmons wasn't strenuous?
3/4 PPG gears as well maybe...
Did you get the new discs on?
Still coming up the coast?

yeah... loved it at symmons... doesnt like to cruise i spose
twice theyve let go just coasting now
def going 6 speed now... unless that other box turns up
oh and got the 2 peice rotors and ds2500's.. even picked up a cheap underbody h brace too (i got about 10kms on it and now its gotta come out again)
might grab a timing belt kit and just head north in the brumby (handy for you adz)

Its unusual how you havent toasted first yet. 3rd gear is replacable though, if you still have parts from the other gearboxes that are not damaged. If you are going to rebuild it look at each gear really closely for any scarring and the foot of the tooth.
