i think my tranny is going, defenately 1st gear, a tech told me possible broken gear tooth. i want to rebuild it, heard of legacy gt gears. what is needed to do it? approximate cost? recomend any one? thanks
not all legact GTs are created equal, they have been making them for over 10 years WHAT YEAR? not that hard people, seriously.
I can understand that. When asking for help, people shouldn't expect to have their minds read. You shouldn't have to play detective, either. There is precious little information in the OP.
sorry for the confusion, i have a 02 wrx, now do the gears just bolt up or what needs to be done?, what else would need to be used ( seals, gaskets etc.) is there a rebuild kit?
Gears within the transmission that are removeable are press-fit, meaning you need a shop press to do the job. Input gears on first and second are machined as part of the input shaft, so if one of those are bad, you need a new input shaft. Also, there are a lot of in's, out's, and what-have-you's to rebuilding a transmission that inexperienced people should not attempt.
well i would not do it, a trained tech would or a shop would but dow anyone know how to do it, whats involved, its listed in one of the sticky's (choosing gear ratio) as a budget daily driver upgrade option
If you want to know what is involved in a manual tranmsission overhaul, dig up a factory service manual. There are dozens of pages filled on the procedure. Changing gear ratios involves replacing both the input and output gears for any particular "gear." And as I mentioned before, some gears on the input side are machined as part of the input shaft.
i think you still dont under stand, my question is will the legacy gt gears workin my trans? if yes, does it need any modification to fit? has any one else done it? it is supose to be stronger. or should i get an aftermarket brand or just stick with new wrx gears?
Not due to any shortcomings on Piddster's or Erik's part. This is the first time you asked this question.
