4wd transmission proplems, broke gearbox then diff and transferbox updated with broken gear selec Options

[tufy]

2 months ago i broke my gearbox, because i coulnt find stronger gearbox for daily use, i installed a 2nd hand standart gearbox which was slightly shorter... after i installed this g.box, traction of my car was more like front wheel drive.. (%60 front and % 40 rear. thats what i feel). then when i make a quick start i started to feel that rear diff. is slipping gears. after 3000 km i break my rear differential.
does anybody knows if ratio of g.box diff ratio and rear diffrential ratio change it make diff stress and broke easier. or my diff. broke from too much power.
simply;
does it make proplem in a 4wd car if i have shorter ratio gearbox without changing diff..
sorry for my bad english. and thanks for your help.

ST205 gearboxes tend to be weak over 500bhp, rear diffs are also prone to break when launched at these levels, fensport now run a dog box with a cusco rear diff assembly if I remember right to prevent the failures that plagued them with the Corolla.
I think the gearboxes are £5000 each but they havent had one fail yet to my knowledge.

thanks for good info guys..
i called fensport a few times and mailed them about their dogbox, also mailed to a few people that are using this dog box. the proplem is i use my car every day at least 50 kms. and some times i use it hard they dont recomend me a dogbox for daily use. i am working on an other solution. like sequrential shifter with straitcut gears and secronize engagment. unfurtunately there is no sequrential shifter kit for our cars.
now i am planning to buy a cusco 1.5 way rear lsd. its available for st205. but the think is, are they made for my old gearbox or the one i have now:/ i mean will the ratios fit with cusco lsd?

Wouldn't a tranny with straight-cut forward-driving gears be pretty loud, like our cars are when they're in reverse?

i dont think that anybody can hear this gear sound because of my exhoust and turbo sound
the gears will sound exactly the same like reverse gears, like rally cars have.. but it seems that i have no other chance. i dont want to try semi helical gears and break it again to decide that i need strait cut.

i mailed xtrac also. they dont have.. only one company said ' İ dont remember name now' we can build it for you. but still you will need some work to make it fit to your engine and it will coast arround 15000 usd exp. shipping and fitting
