Part 1 of building a new transmission for my rail buggy. The goal here is to build a transmission that works well but is also easily obtainable and budget friendly.
For VW rail buggy needs, in my experience it has been difficult to locate, purchase, and repair the old VW 002/091 transmissions. Some of them are 50+ years old at this point, we need a more modern affordable solution.
These transmissions could be awesome in a street oriented mid engine car! Go see part 2 and skip the final drive swap!

mine is automatic = jdm sti sf5 forester GT turbo - 90,000 km and a rear diff LSD true track 30,000km = both 4.44 = fast off line - just put a EJ207 jdm sti RA Spec c engine = now it is cooking big dollar cars ! = cost $45,000 total .

@@spankranchgarage my pleasure! At least I can use my knowledge elsewhere. Also the complaint about the long dong dip stick...that's from a turbo car. Makes it easier to get to since the top mout intercooler is right over the bell housing

I've now had 2 of these exact same trans setups and blown 2nd gear twice. 1st time was landing a jump WOT (my bad) and the 2nd time was after I cranked up the boost to 17psi, it just couldn't handle that amount of power and sheered all the teeth off. It's a super fun setup though for sure

At the 11:00 minute mark, where you can see the large bearing on the left and what looks to be a seal on the right, of the input shaft, is that a seal and bearing or just a seal? My 97 5 speed has axial play on the input shaft and I think it may be a worn bearing front previous owner running it low on gear oil. Awesome brake down by the way, simple set up for measuring the preset backlash with the aluminum block.
@spankranchgarage
@spankranchgarage Год назад
It is just a seal up front. There are 2 bearings on the input shaft if I remember correctly. The one on the left that you mentioned and one back towards the diff. The rear bearing has a locating pin that locates it axially if I remember correctly. That bearing is probably worn and the case needs to be split to replace that one

@fransubaru Год назад
Very very interesting video! Why didn’t you used a low range subaru gearbox?
@spankranchgarage
@spankranchgarage Год назад
I have considered that and still am. I was thinking the little low range shaft and gears could be a weak point. I also heard the ring gear would need to be machined to clear it all. No deal breakers there but just a few thoughts. If I come across a cheap one I will certainty buy it to play with.

This is a cool project. Audio advice though: adjust volume of your clips so your voice is at about -10db. When you're talking into the camera it's fine, but gopro on a tripod or whatever you're very low volume👍

Thanks, That was interesting. I've never been into a suby tranny. My Performance VW manual show's a preference for the pattern to be off center near the toe end of the pinion which is what you ended up with. What are you using for a gear marking compound? That stuff worked great!
