nice - good to have a used transmission source you can trust!
looks good. weighs less than it looks.
planning any autox or similar events coming up? need some shakedown runs for the 240...
Negative. Broke the second RS transmission a few weekends ago at a test and tune. I'm not even going to bother putting another one in.. just going to find a JDM 6 speed.
I think the lightweight flywheel is causing the issue. The transmission breaks doing shifts near redline in higher gears... worked completely fine driving it on the street.
suck. enjoyment will be much improved with all the fun STi diffs though ...THATS what makes a subaru, a subaru (IMO)
I'm probably just going to find a non-DCCD trans. I don't even want to bother with all of that since this is a track car.
In the meantime I'm still waiting for my 2015 WRX to come in. I'll just autocross it in the meantime, haha.
track car is exactly why/when you want DCCD... also i thought all 6 speeds had it anyway
Can't wait to put those in. Are you on coils or struts and springs

silverton's RS-T [now with smaller pictures, sorry!]
Members' JournalsBought it as a 2012 Christmas/New Years gift to myself after my old cars transmission decided to **** out the counter shaft in the transmission. It had 186,000 miles and was bone stock. I'm sure the automatic transmission assisted in its easy life. As of Aug,2016 it has 236k miles on...- 212

MY99 build, when will it stop....
Members' JournalsThe story of this car starts in a galaxy far away and probably not interesting to anyone. It was born in Japan, sold in USA, been to Canada and later shipped to Russia. From there it traveled to Germany to hit the "green hell". It has been through many stages and transitions of identity crisis...- 8
