View Full Version : Testing/Gauging/For Sale: Kaaz Close-Ratio Straight-Cut gearset
mranlet 05-22-2006, 12:39 PM For Sale:
Kaaz Synchromesh close-ratio 1st through 3rd straight-cut and 4th and 5th helical cut (for smooth cruising) gearset for EJ-series NA 5MT. Complete gearset minus the mainshaft ($475 +shipping as quoted from Kaaz USA). A few thousand miles on the set and capable of handling 500+ hp. Original buyer broke the mainshaft from excess short-shifting. I bought it thinking that I was going to use it, but I decided to keep my stock gearset instead. Sells for $3400 new.
It's the first item listed on this website (#KZ-CRGNA):
http://www.racecompengineering.com/product-gearset.htm
All components are pictured below. No abnormal wear other than a few thousand miles' worth. They have been inspected by a certified technician to ensure that there are no flaws or excess wear.

Looking to get $1400 OBO.

Thanks!
mranlet 05-22-2006, 01:11 PM Wow, bump already
mranlet 05-22-2006, 03:27 PM Bump again.
unloco187 05-22-2006, 04:19 PM how much you looking to get for this? are al the gears still in good condition? also what kind of damage did the broken main shaft cause to the gears? let me know because i am in need of a gearset soon.
mranlet 05-22-2006, 04:36 PM Considering that new gearsets are $3400, I think that $1500 would be a steal for someone who is willing to buy the mainshaft seperately and do some fairly easy assembly work.
From what I can tell, there was no damage to the gears. I was told that the mainshaft had the teeth for 2nd gear completely sheared off.
Although I am trying to find out if it can be adapted to fit WRX gearbox, this set is for Naturally Aspirated EJ 5-speed transmissions.
mranlet 05-23-2006, 11:47 AM Morning Bump
mranlet 05-24-2006, 01:06 PM Bump again. Pics will be up by tonight. Also going to have a buddy of mine who is ASE cert to inspect the gears and make sure that there is no damage.

mranlet 06-12-2006, 04:52 PM Bump for a gajillion pics.
unloco187 06-12-2006, 05:07 PM ok so this will not work in a 2002 wrx?
mranlet 06-12-2006, 10:03 PM ok so this will not work in a 2002 wrx?
I'm not sure, but I have Emailed Kaaz USA to find out if it will or what is required to make it work. I am under the impression that the gearsets are similar enough between 2.5RS/Legacy and WRX that it should work without a problem, but I want to hear it from the source before saying so.
unloco187 06-13-2006, 12:03 AM thats cool with me, let me know when you get an answer because i am having wrx withdraws, so let me know asap.
mranlet 06-13-2006, 10:33 PM No Email reply yet. Will Call Kaaz tomorrow if I don't get a reply by then.
mranlet 06-23-2006, 07:50 PM Got some news today! Kaaz says:
"Sorry for the delay in responding to you. The Kaaz gear set will fit the WRX transmission too. The fitment will require about 12-13 Subaru parts to make it work. If you have a fax machine, I can forward you a list of part numbers.
Best Regards,
Ray / Kaaz USA"
I will have them fax me the list if people are interested and will post up the parts as well.
mranlet 07-10-2006, 12:21 PM Bumpity. I received a scanned version of the parts list required to fit this gearset to a 2002-later WRX transmission, but will have to mail it out (1.5mb file). If you're interested, shoot me an Email or PM and I'll send the list over.
mranlet 07-12-2006, 01:07 PM Still for sale, great price.
Homemade WRX 07-13-2006, 11:21 AM interested...and is the shaft the only place in need of replacing?
thanks,
Micah
thahaminator 07-13-2006, 07:21 PM Had this gearset in my car for a while and whoever picks them up wont be disappointed; especially at this price!
mranlet 07-13-2006, 11:59 PM Thanks.
Yes, mainshaft is the only part in need of a replacement. Otherwise the set is complete.
