Why are you not using the trans. Will it not handle the hp? Probably not more than 175hp if you are going with 2.5L suby. I know Carey likes special gearing for his subies but that could be swapped out.
I likely have a very similar trans (to the one you are selling) in my IM. Just got back from a trip. Turned 20k on the odometer. 2.0L VW/Audi watercooled with about 145hp. My car is more of a back roads cruiser. Yours will be more of a screamer.
Tom Blankinship posted:He's tried it with my trans on other cars and it rips them apart in 6 months. Too much torque. The new trans is beefier and is geared taller for the Suby.

Is he using something other than a beefed and longer geared (3.44 r&p?) type 1 transaxle for your car?
I, for one, would like to know details.
Normal HD beef is:
Super diff
hardened keys
welded 3rd and 4th
HD side cover
steel forks.
(right?)
So what more/different is being done here?

Probably a Rhino (heavier Brazilian oem) case?
And finally- someone who thinks like me!!!
PS- Maybe with a long 1st/short 2nd mainshaft and gears? And don't forget I mentioned the 3.44 earlier....
Y'all might want to back off and understand this. Tom is just being a bit coy.
He'll have new running gear and it will be very nice and well suited to the purpose. I know what he had in his old tranny even if he didn't. I was going to make an offer to buy it and thru info that Carey and I shared / last chat with Tom, it's just not going to happen.
If Tom finds a convenient / safe way to DRIVE to Carlisle this year....and I hope he does....ask him to show you the setup and ask Carey for the details.
When I had my Rancho built for the 2666 install, the heavy duty case (I think they call it the White Rhino) was used.

Nice to see rancho using my axles. They are 4340 chromoly forged and heat treated here in the USA.
Forged and heat treated in the USA, or just heat treated in the USA?
ALB, no overseas material or process. I have a foundry here in the USA which is ISO certified. 100% us made product.
I Made these a few years ago due to the on going issues with what was available. The axles are sold by Erco, Weddle, rancho and pierside.
In my poking around on the Internet today, I discovered that Subaru spelled backwards is U R A Bus :-/
