I wish I had a good story for this but there isn't one, Sad thing is I wish there was because I was being nice to her and then this happened.

I was just leaving my friends house, not driving hard at all or anything. Stupid drivetrain starts making this shitty clunk/grind sound so I'm like WTFMATE!

I pull over, call my friend up right away. I check the car for obvious ----, nothing is wrong. I get in and tell my friend Nick to just follow me back to my house (about 1mile away at this point)

We start going, and I'm only moving along about 5mph to keep things from getting fucked up. Well we keep truckin along, the sound isn't going away, or for that matter it is getting louder. We keep going and about 2 blocks from my house the car just locks the hell up. I was about 1" from hitting my head on the wheel it stopped so hard.

Well we tried to have my friend with a truck tow the car with it out of gear to no avail. It wouldn't budge

I thought it was the Tcase at first but I started to tear into her and found this.


My best guess would be that the gear got chipped slightly a week or two ago (I just started driving it again when this happened) and then I suddenly became a problem. Because I sure as hell wasn't driving hard when this all happened.


27psi on the stock motor/drivetrain for the win.







So at first I'm just like "put that nig up the the trailer, the H1 gots this ----"








And then I'm just like "---- this stupid POS Galant"






Then Tom and I pulled this gay *** AWD transmission out (and of course you have to pull the subframe, axles, suspension, transfer case and a lot of other bullshit out too... but seeing this is like the 11ty billionth time we've done it goes pretty quick)











Hmmm.... WTF broken parts mate. :wtc: ----. That gear is supposed to have teef there. Not missin teef. Maybe I'll replace that ---- wif platnum like paul wall baby









So basically I disassembled the transmission to find out exaclty how bad the damage was :hs: Scratch off 2nd gear, and pretty much a lot of other parts. ---- is basically a complete loss










Hollur at chur boys.

so much for selling now for awhikle.


that sucks

Koby

Yeah, I have to wait a week or two now. It is still for sale, just the new owner gets a nice new transmission

davcivic

That's like my WRX, I was doing 35 when all hell broke lose. But I wasn't making that much power.

Have fun with the build up. Looks like DSM's strike again

NBLKID

if you werent sellin it i would tell u to try one of those shep built transmissions, but their expensive too

d0nfry

did they cover your tranny under warrenty or say you abused it.

davcivic

They never do. I did not even try, I know the mechanic at the dealer, and he told me they wouldn't. My car has a lot of modifications, and as soon as you do anything, even a BOV, they say you race your car so anything that happens it's a no. They might do it if the car is 100% stock.

Subaru Warranty sucks.

Tom-Guy

That sucks. If it's not one thing with cars, it's another, eh?

Jeff Shultz paid $875 or 950, not including shipping. The thing feels like silk and normal DSM guys don't like it because they can't feel it go into gear. When used GSR boxes are going for $700.... too expensive?

That is the only thing that scares me off AWD.Rarely it seems they can keep a tranny in one piece with lots of hp.Traction= broken trannys.

If it is the same 4g63 trans as the eclipse they go for $500.00 at my job plus shiping, here is there web site, http://www.jdmenginesinc.com/ just e-mail them and say Steven told you about them they might drop the price a little but they are really cheap.
