Pretty sure you can get them through Repco etc.. not cheap though. Last time I checked it was $400+. I found it was cheaper to just buy second hand boxes when mine broke.

The Starion KM132 and the Scorpion/Sigma KM132 box ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT.
The Starion box uses Angular ROLLER BEARINGS and the Scorp/Sig box uses Angular contact BALL BEARINGS. Reverse gears in the Stazz box are helical but in the Sig/Scorp they are straight cut.
The bearings and gears ARE NOT interchangable.
Hope you get this Info BEFORE you buy the kit.
Cheers.

I have a broken gearbox that you can have.
If you are interested in ripping into it.
BEST advice get one from the wreckers 150-180 AUD.
From pesonal experience, if you are running a Starion engine with Sigma/Scorp gearbox and diff - the trans/diff won't last long anyway.
