Subarugears trans teardown after 13,000 kms
Blue V2's buggy has had the 4.1 LSD Subarugears trans installed for 18 months and 13,000kms now. It has seen street and dune use over this time - now
swapped out for a 4.4 LSD Subarugears trans. This buggy is powered by a quad cam EJ25.
I thought this would be a good opportunity to tear this transmission down in front of a video camera as a 'bare it all' exercise. Also good to see
how these things hold up long term.
For those of you interested and with a spare 15 mins, the video is now on my Youtube channel for all to see.

Luckily, all was great with the teardown. The oil was good, the insides were pristine and the ring and pinion are in super condition.

Nice teardown video.
If you wanted those kms done in a hurry you should have put the box in my Baja! It would have only taken a couple of months!!

Smiley, you need to come for a ride in an EJ25, Subarugears 5 speed with a 4.44 R&P, certainly no shortage of torque!
