Does anybody know where to get the semi-automatic tranny's like the WRC rally cars have?

How much do they cost?

How reliable are they?

Same or different gearing from stock Sti?

How difficult to install?

Tried a search and had no luck so I hope this is not a repost.

pretty sure they are $10k plus.


i realize your just asking about all this stuff, but if you want the h6, 200mph, a paddle gear box, it's going to cost more than $40k.

More like $80-100K+. I just did a quick search and found this page:

Yes it applies to a 1999 Focus WRC, but it's probably still close...That doesn't even include the maintenance you would have to perform almost daily (or maybe weekly/monthly you daily drove it. Installation would probably be in the $10k-$20k range and require substantial modifications.

Many of the non-WRC STis use the 6spd tranny with beefed up engine/tranny mounts.

Yawza!

Basically way too much..

[BigRigger]

That is way to expensive, even for me. Does anybody else besides the WRC teams make these trannys? There's gotta be somebody, somewhere, over the rainbow, that's make something like it for cheaper.
Why are they so expensive?

I know evil, just dreaming and thinking aboot what i can do come spring.
Like i said, im building something special and unique, just finding out what are my options.

Paddle shift tranny, unless there's a cheaper one out there, no way man

A little less than half way down there:
Hi-PERFORMANCE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITH SHIFTTRONIC MANUAL-AUTOMATIC

I think he wants a true manual that has a computer actuated clutch.

Your best bet to get these parts at cheap is to buy a previous season real WRC car. Prodrive does sell them.

A dogbox? They require way too much attention.

Thanks guys, i did some more shopping around and, well, no dice, that tranny is just to much money. As for the last seasons rally cars, not a bad idea but I watch every WRC show I can so It's tough spending that much money on something that you've SEEN FIRST HAND someone punishing week after week.

Remember the video of the black sti that the guys was tring to get like 3.9
0-60 and blew his driveline. Would you buy that car after seening that!

Anyway thanks guys.
