Hawkeye WRXs (06-07) have an LSD in the rear, it's a Viscous LSD, but it's way better than an open diff.
When I owned an 06 wagon I looked into an STi drivetrain swap, it was going to run me 4-6k in parts which included brembos and associated brake hardware; in addition to those costs I would have had to pay for a controller, new clutch & flywheel, fluids, pads & rotors & 5x114.3 wheels. I also priced out a 5x100 setup with brembos, which would have saved me the cost of wheels; I can't fathom a used swap that costs 12k that doesn't include brembos and a set of wheels.
It would make sense 15 years ago and if it were rebuilt but sti transmissions don't cost 6k at a junkyard anymore

@@CoochieKissKing Entire swaps are $4500 all over marketplace. Just stop.

Shoutout to whoever sold the Donut team a 6 spd swap for 12k. Those are usually 5k-7.5k lol
dude for real. we have yards that sell everything for 5-6k over in my corner of the country
I think it’s the transmission and the rest of the components that cost a total of 12k
@Mozuf I'm aware my man. up here in New England, I have seen full drivelines with the 5x114.3 knuckles and brembos for 9k. the trans, diff, axels module ect for 5k is pretty standard
@@MozufWhole swaps with diff and axles are 6k
They’re in California so makes sense
I mean honestly, the Lo option isn't that low, because you get 2 gears for $4,000.00. The Hi option gives you *6* new gears for $12,000.00, that's $2,000.00 per gear for both, but you get all those other new parts, too!
yeah they kinda screwed themselves over there. they could’ve just gotten a used trans from a scrap yard for $4k (or even less)
@misseselise3864 then they still had to buy the special gears to put in. Tgey said they already destroyed a few gearboxes so those standard ones were no option
@TheAdatto they destroyed the 5 speed gearbox so instead of wasting money on that gearbox they should have done the sti 6 speed swap right from the beginning and 12k for a used 6 speed I way too much , brand new 2020 6 speeds go for 14k
that should have cost 6k though unless shipping was another 6k
PPG gears are like 5k for a full set, I bought for a little lower cause it was the close out deal. And an STI trans is only 3-4k this video is all over hte place
18:01 grinding hears and shedding tears, truer words were never spoken. Tshirt material right there 😂

@@TheLongDonYou have to remember that the WRX came out super affordable and with an engine layout few people understand. If you want to make power, go buy a mustang. If you want a racing subaru, get an STI. But the WRX is simply meant to be a fun daily, not a track car
@@calebflora9304 Right, but that's not what it's used for. If you know your market is going to push the shit out of the car, wouldn't you at the very least not have a transmission that shits itself every 20k miles of slightly hard driving? Not saying it's a bad car, just bad for what it's target audience is
@@TheLongDon You can say that for any and all cars, cars from the factory are not made for hooning, none of them are and they all have weak points that need to be fixed. You maybe too young for this but we where blowing t5s in foxbodies and camaros with stock motors and sticky tires. There's a reason the 3rd gen firebird and camaro didn't come with a manual on the 350. Those cars would also twist them selves in half if you launched too many times, the rear end of the camaro was a constant risk of grenading, the 302 in the foxbody would also crack it's block if pushed past 500hp. That's just 2 popular American equivalent. It's even more embarrassing considering both mustangs and Camaros are sports cars from the factory.
Same thing with the subie. An Impreza is a economy car, there's a factory performance version sure, but the actual base Impreza is for getting you to work sounding good and looking cool not for putting it down and especially not as much as these guys did. Like the foxbody mustang, sure there was a SVT Cobra and Cobra R, but your bonestock foxbody was a family car.
Hot rodding is about making cars do what they're not made to do, and that involves a lot of work. I have a 4age 20v swapped E100 corrola with a AWD transmission imported from japan for the E104 corrola wagon. had to cut the floor and everything reform it. Engine revs to 11 grand, and makes almost 350hp all motor. You wouldn't believe how much work everything needed to not explode or maybe you would.
@calebflora9304 but still 5 speeds were made of glass. So we're their headgaskets
Lmao everyone's reaction to the professional trans assembler grinding down the brand new $2500 gears 😂 You already know everyone was thinking 'well shoot, it wasn't my money!' haha. As long as the boss approves 👌
You should have done a used full STI swap vs a straight cut sequential. The STI swap can be found for not much more than you spent on the gears.
Agreed, makes way more sense.
You're forgetting that they never know what they're doing when they modify this platform.

Probably someone in marketing is a fan and said "how about we sponsor some youtubers instead of a couple signs?"
WD40 is broadening its product range beyond its original water-displacing lubricant by introducing a full suite of automotive products. Market research has shown that most people are only familiar with the original product. Therefore, WD40 has kept its original product name as the brand while expanding its offerings to include a variety of other lubricants.
Love seeing Justin on here doing some cool stuff! I rebuilt my 6 speed transmission in my 08 Si, shid definitely gets stressful. I tried swapping the LSD out to put in my project car, but found that you need to do more then just dropping in the open diff. But now that I've done it. (Took 3 times to figure out what I messed up on) I am a lot more confident for when I do it again. I definitely recommend using gloves though, saves your hands a lot of cleanup. Next project, taking my RSX-S trans and putting a LSD in it for my 98LX K-Swap.
For $12,000 you could build a 4th gen Camaro or Trans Am that would absolutely SMOKE either of those cars.

5:43 first add I haven’t skipped well done 👍🏻
first addition you haven't skipped?
AD is short for ADvertisement. ADD is short for ADDition
Without sequential gears you need to match rpm's like you would have on old race cars, you gotta double clutch on those two gears only. Or think like a semi where you have to match the rpm overlap and shift during the over lap. Gotta be careful about over rpm's when the clutch pedal goes in
Happy shifting 🤙
WTF are you going on about?
Yeah that was confusing, I meant synchronized not sequential, good call out.
As they have it gears 3 &4 aren't synchronized which is why there is that big shift cluck between them.
I love everything about these series you guys do. I truly believe learning how to do things the “low car” way make you understand the car much more thoroughly and makes you a better mechanic and fabricator … the struggles are part of hot rodding! Love you guys at Donut
$12,000 for a transmission is insane

100% sure they could’ve gotten all new parts from flatironstunning for the 6 speed swap with the amount they spent for used parts
Such a satisfying scene with both cars in the canyon. They really compliment each other, almost like little brother trying to outdo big brother with less money but at the end of the day, just bros in Subarus. 🤜🤛
For what is worth, DCCD doesn't change the torque split sent to each axle (50F/50R, 0F/100R, 100F/0R, it's always 35F/65R), it just controls the amount of slip in the center differential. Like a limited slip rear with a 60% lock up, except this is variable and in the center.
I really appreciate that you explain the technical details as text, and don't bore the more experienced viewers with something like "what an open diff is". The car people will know what that is, and I appreciate that I didn't need to hear about what an open diff is again 😂 thanks guys. Your videos always raise the bar for other car UA-cam channels.

7:14 pro did a no-no. never air chisel a bearing install. bearings do not like to be shocked. many better safer ways to do this they should have heated the bearing up and pressed it in with some leather gloves. or just use a bearing press kit. Oh well it's his bearing not mine.
thats how you do ad placements.
actually entertaining to watch and not something that would make me want to skip.
Guys you got to do just an episode with that transmission specialist maybe go see if you can a work shop tour, the dude was super friendly and was a great teacher.
For me, Jimmy aced this sponsorship. It's probably 1 in 100 ads that I whatched throughout. Great job!

OMG!
I did the same STI swap on my modified 06 WRX about a decade ago … everything cost me about $4,000.
All of the work I did on my car’s drivetrain - new STI block c/w forged pistons, work on the WRX heads, modified intake, new turbo, and modified headers and exhaust was less than they paid for the transmission swap.
And, I did it all by myself with the car on jack stands.
well after lockdowns everything is like 10 times more expensive :v
IM SO HAPPY JAMES ISNT ONE OF THE HOSTS ANYMORE, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
Nothing like a classic fart noise with some reverb thrown on there. 😂 9:05
you need a blastplate on the 5speed. the torque twist the gearboc and since its split down the middle it separate and it looses traction and starts to chew gears
It's pretty obvious that just getting an STI is better than spending so much more to upgrade the WRX
Ive noticed an increase in adds on this channel. Never a dull moment or a boring video either though. Perfect balance. You guys deserve even more. Thanks for all the awesome content!

A transmission costing that much is insane
Good video, but you definitely don't need to pay $12,000 for an STi 6 speed swap. Plenty of good condition used gearboxes floating around for 2-3k. You could probably even buy a used 6 speed and swap in a dog box kit for around what you guys spent.
You spent 12 grand on an sti swap!? I would have sold you my whole sti for that.
you could have parted out your whole sti for 30k to these guys
Dollar Tree Transmission would be dope
$12k on a Subaru trans? 4k gets you a 6 speed swap with brembos, which will hold 7-800 HP in stock form.
Also for those of you that may be curious, You can use the 5 speed flywheel and clutch on the 6 speed just not the other way around. Aggressive clutches on the 5 speeds are what blow them up quicker as well. That shock load.
17:17 "Stepson, what are you doing!?"
Word of caution in case you guys don't know. Do not do full lock with the DCCD on the track/asphalt

17:22 “Feed it back into its mommy” ☠️
I've seen quite a few people claim that the DCCD allows you to change the torque split, but I don't believe that's technically accurate. The gearing controls torque split and DCCD does nothing until one end slips, relative to the other. At that point the DCCD setting controls how hard the center diff works to maintain lockup between the front and rear, adjustment being from open to full lock, IIRC.
Can definitely do better donuts in open mode though!
You're right, someone at Donut didn't do their homework again.
"The Driver's Control Centre Differential (DCCD) allows the center differential locking of the WRX STI to be dialed in and adjust its handling. It adjusts both an electromagnetic multi-plate transfer clutch and mechanical locking of a Limited Slip Differential (LSD) to distribute torque to the front and rear wheels. Auto Mode identifies the ideal power distribution for changing conditions, whilst Auto [+] keeps more power up front for increased traction. Auto [-] transfers more power to the rear for tighter cornering, and the six-step Manual Mode locks in the driver's favorite handling characteristics." This is literally from Subaru....
Hey, I wish I could’ve found yall earlier, but I’m glad I did now. I do have a question and that’s if I’ll ever be able to get a chance to get some of yalls older merch? If not, I get it, but I’d love to see some older stuff make a comeback

Glad we have a follow up to this saga. Jobe and Justin are pretty good. Great follow up vid. Wanna see some track vids now and see how they hold up.
Well I love the series as always so Thank you guys! HOWEVER!!! LOL. The one transmission is not only the trans. It's multiple up grades all at once which in my book is NOT fair! It certainly doesn't consider that if we were doing these builds ourselves we wouldn't just fix the trans on cheap car we would to remain competitive put in a diff or upgrade it as it's a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PART OF THE CAR! Thus it would be saved up for and then bought or in the case that the cheapest way to deal wit it would be to weld said diff Do That!
DCCD does not vector torque, it simply limits slip. The numbers on the controller are maximum slip percentages before the diff locks.
Also, get off the clutch when shifting the dog gears. The whole benefit of dog gears is super fast shifting because no clutching is necessary. Just lift briefly and it'll pop right into gear.
I could be wrong but wouldn’t u have to use the clutch going from second to third and fourth to fifth because of the synchros? Assuming u wouldn’t want to ruin them. But I would assume third to fourth would be fine clutch less
@@cedarabbot7263 Fourth to fifth, yes. 1-4 are dog gears and thus do not have synchros.
They introduced torque vectoring on the '08+ models. I actually don't even use manual mode unless I want full lock. I just set front bias for gravel and rear bias for pavement.
Would double clutching help with the clunk going into 3rd and 4th?
No
Why not?@@klauskarlkraus
Would, perhaps. That's an old school technique used by drivers of previous era trucks, where synchros were absent. What would be much more helpful is precise RPM matching, but that requires deliberate practice
“Granny shifting, not double-clutching like you should.”
nice video!
Be advised the dog rings will need maintenance every so often to keep the engagement snappy. The sharp edges wear over time.
The five speeds are weak af but the six speeds can handle some real power.
Get a couple of MK4 GTI’s 1.8t for high low next!
there one of the least interesting cars ever built lol only popular cuz ya can grab em for super cheap lol
@@Homingjoeyjr isn’t that the point? Let’s talk about the first High/low cars they started with in that same category. 350z. I love what they did to both. They are also cars that can get bought super cheap which they did. And let’s not forget where the hot hatch started. From the GTI. All hatches can from the inspiration of the GTI. That’s a fact. What did the 350z get inspired by and what did it inspire? The GTI has been around for decades. So try again. Mr hater.
@@Homingjoeyjr lmk if you want me to spit more facts in your face. I’ll be here. Lol
@@Good_Shift 350 and impreza are just more interesting than a mk4 lol yh they can be bought cheap ....and ? there boring shitboxs ..... facts haha u sound a tad defensive lol they were boring new and boring now , not all gtis are but the mk4 is just fat and drab facts , popular cuz there cheap lol dnt compare a mk1 mk2 gti to a mk4 lol
@@Homingjoeyjrsomeone’s butt hurt lol where did Impreza’s get their inspiration from? Ohhh that’s right the GTI. Lmao.
You guys need a cheap transmission jack especially having multiple lifts.
In regards to the gear grinding on low car, is there any chance of heat making everything expand/swell and them making contact again at the worst possible time?
I’m assuming the oem gears were put in there with the smallest of tolerances as possible for cost savings.
Big tolerances are scheaper than small tolerances. I doubt that grinding is enough to cause measurable permanent deformation
Nice seeing an episode with more details.
Me too
6 is better then 5? But my 12v turbo Cummins diesel begs, like a dog, to differ. Hell 3 speeds are fun!!!
