Both of our Subaru WRXs blew third gear, so we’re going to tear apart the transmissions to figure out why.

The transmission is fine, as long as you dont add much more extra power into them and treat them with respect. I had an 06 WRX, and the only issue was a new checknengine light every week. Subaru is the Chevy of Japanese market vehicles
Were them failures caused by Too Much Power [Baby]?
Mmk if we’re talking about the 5 speed wrx trans- I agree its crap. But the 6 speed sti transmission is a BEAST that can seriously take a beating. If you upgrade the synchros you’re pretty much good to go up to 700hp.
And then my boys 2019 WRX had 2nd gear go out and they took like a year to fix it before he got rid of it
So subies have dodge transmissions??
imagine spending 30k to make 400whp
😅😅😅
Definitely sequential
one of the better episodes I've watched! I love the "how it broke" episodes because you learn even more than when you bolt on parts.
What’s the name of the music used at 1:08
My wrx sti blew up at 32K, only owned it from 24K. Have logs to prove my driving, receipts, videos of me doing oil changes.
Opened a claim with Subaru, where they told me to pound sand. Unfortunately it was the way they treated me during the process, which is to say they completely ignored my every email and call, and left a voicemail giving me their decision without even looking over any of the documentstion they requested from me.
These cars will blow up on you.
I think you need call saul for it J😂😂
sequential
Brings back memories, heading to home depot. Granny shifting into 4th gear, not double clutching like I should. 6MT kaboom.
I lost 4th gear in my Baja. It works fine without it.
2009 Outback XT manual transmission stock — 3rd gear gone at 120,000 miles. Never again.
Daam
Should have gotten a Pontiac Vibe
Here in the south we have a joke………always blame the nearest black man………it’s a shame to see y’all doing my guy Justin like that. SMH
Stock 5-speed WRX transmission is good to about 350 Hp. 6-speed STI transmission is good to about 500 Hp.
Me watching this video after blowing up my transmission
The jdm trans are allot stronger
I vote for a new sti 6 speed tranny !!
I want a shirt that says Jerry Rigged with a caricature of Jerry holding a socket hammer.
Who owns donut? Theres no way yall actually want to be in California doing the things yall do with cars. We both know youd be far better off out of that god forsaken state, but someone is keeping yall there
do high and low transmission swap and test like 0-60 miles duration ….
So you did no research. Again. The 5-speeds don't hold large power. No one ever said that they did. At this point, I'm pretty sure Donut is just shitting on Subaru.
Still waiting for my wrx transmission rebuilds. Sequential for high car and sti for low? Could do a used sti trans if sti is too high
6 speed in lo car, sequential in hi?
charge transmission
can you guys make a video on why you can float gears in a semi but not in a commuter car?
Do JWC (John Works) mini cooper vs mini S vs mini
Jeremiah sounds like if Dale Gribble became a sick mechanic.
Can Justin be my dad?
4:30 someone get Nolan a creeper😂
Sequential in hi, sti 6 speed in lo
"I didn't do this"
My 08 legacy GT is on its 4th transmission 😂
4:38 yall should get some custom Donut rollers for the boys working under the cars like that.
Suggest the 6 speed in low WRX and a sequential in hi WRX
Next it's going to be those transfer cases! I drove so many with bad cases, so many disappointments😢
Can the BOOST CREEPS HOODIE have a comeback?
You guys keep doing some of the best engineering explainer videos, keep it up
Upgrade to racing trannys for both but do crazy straight cut sequental on hi car!
Justin is a big dude but Jerry makes him look so short when they're side by side. How tall is Jerry, dang.
rebuilt them what the STI trans
6 speed in High Car. 04-05 wrx 5 speed and "blast plates" in Low Car
So why not put a sequential into high car and the sti 6 speed into low car 😅😅
