Broke My Manual Trans Question

[SomethingElse]

So like ...I was being stupid as usual and screwed up my $1600 06 WRX manual trans. I did a reverse burnout in a body shop...typically the floor is covered in dust so its safe. Well my tires had wet on them from washing the car and the tires hopped until a terrible grindy noise suddenly appeared.

The noise only happens in reverse. No forward gears make any abnormal noise.

So my question is after I do a drain and fill and fish the metal out can I expect this thing to not explode in 1k miles? obviously a tear down is in the near future but I don't wanna miss the pumpkin carve.

Also where can I get manual trans parts from? Thanks in advance.

please feel free to call me stupid names...I deserve this one

looks like you'll just have to open it up and put in a new reverse gear, guaranteed the sprocket is strippe
it could be done in a day's work

Ive heard the same thing from a couple people...Im just gonna do the flush for now drive it up to the pumpkin carve and stay out of reverse whenever possible. Im guessing I can only get parts from the dealer. Ive tried to a few different times with no luck.

75-90w gear oil was it? I dont remember how many quarts.

i think its 75-90w i used lucas synth, and its 3.78l so a gal, pick up 4 quarts and you should be good. i wish you luck that whatever sheared off the reverse gear does destroy the others.

there should be plenty of people to push you backwards at the pumpkin carve . Good luck. Hopefully the fix isn't too expensive

Check to see if 1stsubaruparts.com has your trans parts. I just bought a bunch of timing belt covers, bolts and seals from them at about 1/2 of the prices my local dealer quoted. Very friendly, patient and informed people there.

More on the dealer later; AFTER I get my car back.

Enjoy the PCarve.

Thanks guys.

I did the drain and fill today. No metal came from the drainplug...stuck a magnet in there to try and hook some but no bites. Used a blow gun to try and find some but again, nothing.

I cant help but think this is a bad thing. If something is loose in there it shan't end pretty. When I find out hopefully it wont be the hard way

Like I said may have just nicked a gear and its just making a Rukus... Or its headgaskets

why would headgaskets only cause noise only in reverse?

The gaskets see pressure in different areas when the engine turns the other direction.
