Why is that? I would still bring it in, you know third gear is the most likely of the five to go. Make an appointment and I'll get one of our master tech's to rip it open and see what we find. Even if it's not covered you still have to get into it, I'd like to see any quality transmission shop take it and tear it open for less than $528.00

hey man! sorry about the 3rd going.....
But anyways, we can talk about prices over the phone if you would like!

what exactly do you need me to do? ie, take it out? install it?

and what gears are you getting?

 

hoping to get a call back from andrewtech tomorrow... i really would like to do something cheaper than PPGs though, i dont have that kind of money. Probably would need it taken out, then reinstalled whenever it comes back in. Whatever I do, I should have gears ordered within the next 3 days. Still trying to make the chin event on the 10th I just dont know any other options besides PPGs other than cryo'd RA gears, but i dont want to ever have to do anything with the tranny again if im spending that much money



and im not going to bring it in for warranty because i dont want to pay $600 to be told its not covered (which i know it wont be. VF39, custom tuned, will and ray both know i do track days....).

 

ya man, i feel ya! thats the price you pay tho.... if you want quality then get the ppg gears. I have no problem pulling the tranny for you!

the cryod ra gears arent really worth it... but its what you want man!

When did you need me to pull it. and where? is it in a garage?

 

If you're going to do it, you might as well do it right. PPG/6MT or nothing at all. That $528.00 is to take the transmission out, split it open, and diagnose it. You may have done more damage than just third gear. I would want to know for sure if I were spending that much money. But, it's up to you.

sorry about your tranny LD, hopefully it'll get fixed





are they still hiring Manny???


goodluck with your tranny Ryan!

 

thanks man! mine is in maryland right now....

I dont charge out the ass.... ill beat anyones price. taking a tranny out is simple for me. so you can expect a good deal man!

 

the car will probably be in the garage at my house, ill let you know when i get the gears ordered and get the car back to tampa


cant do a 6mt, something about the 06 rear end is different. you have to change all the drivetrain pieces including the axles (which are attached to the hubs and since its off an sti that would mean 5x114.3). Both sets of wheels I have are 5x100, and I have a $3000 BBK that fits a wrx, not an sti. wanted to just swap in the 6spd and call it a day, but alas, its not that easy

 

So you'll spend 3k on brakes but not 5k on PPG gears.... doesn't make sense to me. BTW did you sell your fog lights?

 

i spent $3k in brakes because i *melted* my stock brakes... literally... I found good brakes for a good price though. Didn't have to spend like $5-6k on name brand brakes. Just like I would like to find a nice alternative for PPGs.

I still have the fogs at my house, needed air ducting for my brakes.
