you would be surpirsed on what you can find on nasioc....

but ya man! just let me know...

 

or you can get the DSS stage 5 axles for the r180 conversion out back or find JDM ver 5/6 ra rear cv's as they are the same..do an r180, the 6-speed, and 6-spd driveshaft; then just the stub shafts/clips for the front cv's to work...very simple and strong...your 5mt clutch can even carry over, so long as you use the flywheel again.
It really is that easy...easier for you than me, as I had to change 2 studs on the diff and go to the newer age tranny crossmember

as for other gearset optionss...
hollinger (mrt and awesome!!), par/chalak (commone manufacturying related failures), kaaz (seem to eat 3rd gears in the syncro sets also short!!!), modena(early mrt) and aps (crappy)...just to name a few


as for 1.5 hours to pull the tranny, damn!!! you have me beat my 15 minutes

 

15 minutes my ass LOL....

 

I'm serious...as the dyno shop I use to work at, I was the subaru tech and have pulled my own trannies (I have 3 that I alternate ) 12 times in the past 6 months...slight power issue...also have done 3 rear diffs in that time.

the 6-spd there is now way in hell I could do in that time...it is such a tight fit that it actually touches both sides of the tunnel.

Now, the 1.75 hours job was a cable-clutch, push style.

 

so out of the gearboxes/sets you named the only one worth getting (the hollinger) is more expensive than the ppgs? damn

 

there are alot of gear sets out there man!!! challack makes a good set for the price!

but PPG own!!!!

 

takes money to play the game my friend you got into a bad hobby if you dont like spending money

 

are challacks supposed to be as good as PPGs? will they at least be bulletproof at 300whp?

 

challack doesn't have his own company anymore...he and par are the same now...he still designs the sets though...they seem to have manufacturing flaws often as the number of sub 400whp cars breaking them, yet they still manage to be in the fastest subies in australia...
not to long ago I got rid of my par straight cut dog box for fear of destroying them...that and gerard said they wouldn't hold my end goal

modena's are nice and are on the roger clark motorsports "gobstopper" but a 6-spd set. Shawn Lozy still has a set in his car that made 600 but has been sitting for the past 2 years...hollingers are quite nice and are slide on, not press on...andy forest is actually running them in his 9.1 second scoobie.

ppg's are a great bang for the buck...the 5-spd dog box can only handle 800...if you want more than that, you need a built 6-spd

 

WORD!Alot of people don't realize that!I think LD is coming around....lol.
When your running on a track everyother weekend your going to wear parts even faster and you'll find the weakness of the vehicle real fast!Running tracks are great just make sure you got the money to back it up.NOT JUST TALKING TO LD.....lol
