Transmission core is known as R4AX-EL and EC8. When I searched this time, Google did not return some of the sites that I have looked at before. Quite a few companies offer parts, kits and rebuild manuals for the 4EAT and M41/M41a (aka 3AT)

Your brave, brave, brave people. I haven't built a tranny since tech school, and hope and never want to again. But the old wallet may say otherwise at some point.

I did several three speed auto's and one GM with lockup.

 

After that i will gladly put in a used one before getting into a rebuilt. rebuilts are cranked out by a factory, I do not of a shop that rebuilds them by hand anymore (I am sure there are a few out there some place)

 

The only exception may be the Justy, which surprsingly still come from subaru.

nice find subaru's auto trans are a cake walk they are just like a chevy turbo 350 i have built maney:banana:

Good find - don't think I'd ever be brave enough to rebuilt an auto. Lucky I don't drive em!! :grin:

Not too tough. I experienced my first rebuild due to a stacked pump. The convertor slipped causing misalignment. Broke the drive gear into 3 pieces. Before I was done the entire assembly was sitting on the ground. But, all it cost me was time. Fortunately, I knew a few people in the industry that threw a few used parts at me. Put it back together and it even worked :eek:

I can rebuild them if I want to, they aren't a hard trans to work on. But with used ones available to me for less than $100 it's just not cost effective.
