Type R gearbox info needed
Discussion
Hello
I'm still uming and arring about what my next car will be but I quite like the thought of a two door Impreza. One thing that bothers me with the Type-R is the really short gearing. I seem to remember that some of the later Type-R's had a longer 5th gear (like the P1). Anyone know which model it is? Version VI V limited???
thanks

The type r's also run short gearing with a 4.4 diff. As far as I'm aware none run longer gearing. The later v4's and the v5/6 use the later 754 box which is stronger and can take a bit more power.
A lot of people have fitted a UK 5th when the box has been rebuilt making it better for motorway cruising. Maybe this is what your thinking of.

The V6 Type R Limited has the same ratios & final drive as the regular V6 Type R.I'm still uming and arring about what my next car will be but I quite like the thought of a two door Impreza.
