Subarugears rear drive conversion kit for Vanagon

Rear drive conversion kit for Vanagon, this is my first time doing one, I did a fully ready transmission some years ago but installing the reverse kit is a first. Please cope with my English since I am French speaking.

Excellent video Ben, expecially for your first time. A tip for the next one - you don't need to have the input shaft installed when you measure backlash of the ring and pinion - this makes it much easier to feel and measure the backlash.

Thank you for taking the time to make this. It will be helpful to many.

Thank you. Wanted to see at least a rough walk through as to what's involved. You provided that 👍😁 I know it must be a pain to juggle "the media" 😎 but we really appreciate it. Not concerned about fancy dancy camera and writing. Just hanging out with while you are elbow deep is enough. Cheers! 🇺🇸

Sorry for the dumb question: which parts of the gearbox now rotate in the opposite direction as originally, if it is used backwards in the VW?

[@e-curb]

Only the differential.

[@DavidG2P]

@@e-curb Thanks. But where does the change of rotation direction take place then?

[@e-curb]

@@DavidG2P The change in rotation of the output stub axles/flanges is due to the diff being placed on the other side of the pinion shaft.
Originally, subaru placed the diff on the starter side of the trans. For rear engine use, it must be put on the other side. Changing sides causes the diff to go the other way.
