NorthWet Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 A couple other sources: http://www.makcotransmissionparts.com/R4AX-EL.html http://www.ukrtrans.biz/files/catalog/subaru-suzuki/R4AX-EL.pdf 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugs Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 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.

rxleone Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Good find - don't think I'd ever be brave enough to rebuilt an auto. Lucky I don't drive em!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Really not too terribly hard so long as the solenoids and electronics test out good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaru360 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
