landcrush Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 After looking at some pics of toasted transmission snouts on 5 speeds i'm starting to think mine may be shot as well. I haven't been able to find any pics of a 6 speed though. My throwout bearing was broken on the outside. What ya thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

relative4 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Wow, how much noise did that thing make with the clutch in? I'm always perplexed how people can get to that point; mine made quite a racket, and the snout got just the tiniest bit of scuffing. Anyway, you are super lucky. Unlike the 5MT, the 6MT has a replaceable snout. So yeah, go for that. And a new seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really wasn't making too much noise in gear (except in first which i figured was fairly normal for the 6 speed) and none when the clutch was pressed in. Don't know if you've seen my story but I only drove the car for a day or two before tearing it down lol i'm sure i would've noticed more noises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landcrush Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Any idea where to source the new snout? Quick search didn't reveal much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated Too sigmafour Posted February 21, 2017 I Donated Too Share Posted February 21, 2017 Might be: 30461AA000 - bothers me because that's from the 2008 6MT but it shows three bolts and your pictures show four and there is an oil seal behind it... 806728090 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also see there is an option for oil pump and excluding oil pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dga Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Spec. B's did not have a pump where earlier STI transmissions did, but later ones did not. That might be your difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
