is the sti tranny better than the evos ? because i seen wrx trannys breakdown in 30,000 to 60,000, do you guy think thant this could happen to the sti around the same mile. as for the evo i keep earing about the clutch porbles only

 

I'm no expert but from what I gather from talking to owners of both cars and forums etc, it seems the STI has a weaker tranny but a stronger clutch than the EVO. I'll take a weaker clutch any day! Just my two pennies.

 

i thought the sti's tranny was stronger?

ive heard that the sti's tranny is bulletproof, as well as the clutch

could be wrong tho, most of the time i am

 

i made an easy fix for this situation.. i ordered a full chest kevlar suit and ducktaped it to my tranny.. bullet proof that...

 

Both transmissions have a lot of history, the STI's 6 Speed was co-developed with Porsche while the EVO's 5 Speed is built up pretty nicely as well. Clutch wise I would call it a wash, I have 8800 miles on my stock clutch and it feels as good as the day I bought it, no transmission probs either.

 

Compared to the WRX tranny, the STi tranny is incredibly strong. It has also taken the abuse I give it, so that alone should tell that it's quite strong.

The STi tranny is very strong and also quite heavy. It definitely has the edge over the Evo's tranny...

 

I believe some of the Japan Tuners have run over 500hp through the tranny on a regular basis with no problems. It is pretty strong. The first things the STis have broken at the track are rear axles.
