with a Torx bit but I'm not at the shop atm to tell you about the size/number of it. Should be in a WSM.

or if it's still out of tthe car.. just stand it upright (tailshaft output pointing down) and tailshaft out.. Should drain out nicely

how strong are these boxes? Is it going to cope with the power i plan on running? I want to be sumwhere up at the 250kwatw range.

Id be very very very sad if i broke a 6grand gearbox. Which is why im still open to the auto option.

As for running it in a drag car, I wouldn't recommend it as it's slower than the modified autos but as a race/drive car.. go for it

same as the one that a mechanic mate has here though - ta!

also looking at this thing it has a hose front to rear of it. possible to pump fluid out,cool it and put it back?

I'm thinking there is a cooling setup for the Rally spec 6 speeds but you'll need to do some research on the web for it.

Actually.. the more I think of it, I think it's the late MY00 STi I'm getting mixed up with (re: torx bit)

nah this one is a 04 liberty sedan. two bolts in the base.

RSR 555 · Post by **RSR 555** » Fri Apr 30, 2010 4:02 pm

Yeah.. 1 bolt for the front diff oil and 1 for the gearset oil. As some STi had LSD front diffs that required different oils to the gearset.

I found that when we did the car. should have made a note what box (code) is was.

There is a guy over there with a 6 speed behind his 475 kw and 600nm legacy wagon which runs 10's and it seems fine!
