REVERSE DRIVE KIT FOR SUBARU 4EAT TRANSMISSION TO SUIT T2 LOW LIGHT (EARLY BAY 1968-1971)

This Kit includes everything you need to reverse the drive of your Subaru 4EAT transmission! Note: There are a few other parts you will need for your Low Light bus that are not included in the kit, such as CV shafts, and stub axles etc. 

When the engine and tranny are up in position, the front transmission mount bracket is the first item that needs to be installed and bolted to the torsion bar housing. This is so the transmission sits as close to the torsion housing as possible. 

Please note that there is some custom fab work required in order to get the Subaru engine and 4EAT to fit into a Low Light. 

If you wish to receive a pre-assembled kit please add the product titled "Labour To Assemble Your Kit" to your cart! 

The parts included are:

1x Reversaru end cover plate with mount brackets:
The end cover plate is the same for T1, T2 and T25/T3 busses. However, the mounting brackets are different between the 3 vehicles. By selecting this particular listing you will receive the brackets for a T2 Low Light (68-71) bus.   

3x helical cut gears:
1x Drive gear (top gear), 1x Transfer gear (middle gear), 1x Pinion gear (bottom gear which attaches to the diff pinion shaft)

1x Speed sensor ring:
This ring is also acts as the ring that the parking pawl locks into.   

4x 4mm keys:
These keys lock the speed sensor ring to the Drive (top) gear.  

2x tapered roller bearings:
These 2 bearings support the transfer gear on the spigot of the transfer gear plate.

1x ‘R type’ locking nut:
This locking nut retains the 2x tapered roller bearings and the transfer gear. After the locking nut is tightened, the 3x allen keys around the outside of the locking nut must be tightened. Failing to do so will result in bearing failure and gear teeth being damaged.  

1x deep groove ball bearing:
This bearing is housed in the transfer gear plate and supports the Pinion (bottom) gear

1x Transfer gear plate (PATENT PENDING 2023900249):
The transfer gear plate is the star of the show! This part enables the 3 helical cut gears to run perfectly in the back of the 4EAT transmission. The transfer gear plate has 2 functions. The first function is to house the Pinion (bottom) gear bearing and the second function is to support the 2x tapered roller bearings via the 17mm spigot which locates the Transfer (middle) gear.  

2x CV adapter flanges:
The CV adapter flanges allow the standard VW CV’s to attach to the Subaru 4EAT transmission. NOTE: If you have the new style Male CV joints, you will need a set of Stub axles. The stub axles are not required if you have the older Female style Cv’s. Stub axles can be purchased from our online store. 

1x Resistor:
Due to the fact the AWD duty solenoid is removed, the resistor tricks the ECU by regulating the current to the ‘expected’ current so that the ECU doesn’t realise that the AWD solenoid has been disconnected and removed.

1x AWD clutch solenoid cover plate:
The cover plate covers the AWD clutch solenoid passages. Note: This cover plate is not required on TZ1B transmissions.

Bolts:
All bolts required to install the kit.

1x Pinion gear removal tool:
This tool makes easy work of removing the original Subaru diff pinion gear.  

Lead time for product delivery:

All orders will take approximately 7-8 weeks for manufacturing and 1 week for Quality Control, measuring all parts on the CMM etc. Once QC is completed, products will be shipped. So it is best to allow for an 9 week lead time on delivery. It will be worth the wait and we cannot wait for you to experience the strength and reliability of our reverse drive kit and the ease of our electric shift kits!
