$4,000 replacement gears vs. $12,000 full transmission swap. Does more expensive mean more better?

Yk how many views y’all would get if you did an ev swap build
lol James randomly
Hey! What rear driveshafts did you use?! I've been snapping my rear shafts in my 6 speed swapped WRX and those units look beefy! Custom from the driveshaft shop to go from the R180 to the WRX 5×100 hubs?
So Subaru makes weak motors and come to find out they make weak transmissions as well. WTH? Lol
I am on my 5th GD….I should have bought 1 Evo
Granny shifting, not double clutching like you should
13:00 DON'T lock the center diff on the track! 🤦♂️ save your transmission and lock it on loose traction conditions – such as mud and snow!
This crazy entertainment i like to see def glad i came across this channel
I went closer to the lo car route, but I went straight tooth 1-2, the same 3-4 lo car has, and OEM 5th.
New Snapon Garbage Can only 89.99
CVTS has no gear. Which means no shifting. And infinite ratios like 1:9e+83.3, so more comfort without that pesky speed drops (if u hate it). So you can go on steeper mountains without having to worry. But since the CVT has an infinite ratio, your car can pull you at lightspeed back at your seat… That's why they are called continuously variable transmission! More wheel torque, more torque output. DCTs are also high torque. But can't exceed a certain amount.
What about Nolan’s mustang !! You should do a hi low for that since you’ll only need one more mustang gt !
If you are not a racer and just daily drive the 4k upgrade is the best option.
love seeing the donut boys getting sponsored by such good brands you know they actually like such as wd40 who doesnt love wd40 that miracle juice has saved so many of my tools
at least you dont have to worry so much about fluid pressure like in an auto you cant grind things in them. Older transmission guys had to innovate here and there but im glad to see ya learned your lessons about aftermarket parts. wouldve been nice to know if the dog gears changed the gear ratio and if it shifts rougher or smoother in your opinions. I love working on transmissions, thanks for the video
Where did they get the gearbox for hi car
thats how you do ad placements.
actually entertaining to watch and not something that would make me want to skip.
Should have went with a Type RA 5 speed or used PPG gear sets in the 5 speed rebuild. Grinding the gears will surely cause a problem later on down the road.
Why is all the aero exept the wing taken of?🤔
The trash can thing was so sketch. 😂
15:55 what if it was only binding because there was no oil on it
i'm surprised hi car didn't go extra and get a sequential transmission
The editors were feeling sassy when they put this one together, and I love it.
We need an old jdm hi low, something obscure but still cool and known. Like a pre FD rx7 or a 80’s 300zx
You should never ever rebuild a 5 speed for a 5+1 on Subarus. Always just swap to 6 speed sti. Not 6 speed wrx (5+1 gears)
For all the cash they throw at these shit builds, they could have just bought a better car.
