In this episode, Aaron and his brothers start the rebuild process on the WRX 5MT they picked up. They tear it down and go over how specific components work while also discussing what parts need replacing and how to go about it!
This was the first time any of them had opened up a Subaru gearbox and they figure things out as they go without looking at any diagrams.

Since we shot this, I’ve picked up another trans with a blown 3rd gear that I can use for parts, and my uncle has a big shop press that I can use to pull gears and bearings off the shafts and reinstall everything! I don’t plan on using this transmission in the near future, so It’ll probably be until october or so before I actually get around to rebuilding it.
I hope you enjoyed this episode, I sure had a fun time tearing into it. Transmissions are about the only thing i haven’t dealt with. Its usually simpler to just find a replacement trans and swap it in. I’ve always been intimidated by transmissions just because they have so many moving parts and everyone says you need specialty tools to work on them. Its really liberating to finally get over that fear and realize its just another component!
