Gunsmen45 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Hello all, I recently had a transmission casing failure on my Spec B and I am trying to figure out how to go about fixing this. When searching around or asking the dealers I found that the bellhousing part (#30400AA050) that would be fairly simple to replace is pretty much nonexistent or people are not willing to help me find one. I know how rare these transmissions are so I am sure a full replacement would be very costly at this time. Does anyone know if the 6 speeds share that same bellhousing part that I can just swap it from another trans from around those years? Is there a better way to go about this that I may not be thinking about? It seems like this spot would be difficult to weld/repair with how much stress it likely gets but I have almost zero experience welding. Would there be any difference in a JDM transmission from the USDM? I am finding very little info to cross reference parts. Any help is greatly appreciated. Unfortunately I just recently switched jobs and I travel quite a bit for it so while I have some cash I am definitely not rolling in it quite yet.

Rusty9 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I doubt you'll find the bellhousing as it's been discontinued for quite some time. Sure there's a dealership somewhere that has one under a mountain of crap they've forgotten about... I've got a rebuilt unit that's been sitting around in my garage for quite some time. If those palm trees are in florida, you could come get it for a reasonable offer. https://imgur.com/a/0q7R7 Pretty sure most all sti 6speeds will fit, just check final drive to match. Only difference is no DCCD and slightly different gear ratios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured I would cast a wide net and I have some leads I am tracking down and calling on here and there especially come next week when more people are open. I would definitely love a completely rebuilt trans to have less to worry about and I am in Florida. I am keeping the offer in mind and I do appreciate it. If any other information comes to mind please let me know as well. Edited October 21, 2023 by Gunsmen45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
