I always wonder about the price to do these modifications/repairs in y’all’s videos. Would be super cool for the non-car-expert viewers if you included an estimation of the prices.
I meant to say it in the video:
Used RX7 Case/RX8 Diff/Seals - $6-700 w/ shipping from eBay/Racing Beat
ATS Super Silent - $1600 w/ shipping
RP Diff Brace - $425 w/ 2 day shipping
So like $2700 all told. I don't know about Jon and Aaron's pricing for services like these.
@@GearsandGasoline that’s as much as my miata cost me 😂
@@GearsandGasoline Awesome, thanks! Not as expensive as I expected. And yeah I guess it would be hard to say definitive service charges since different places’ prices will probably vary.
@@rauldeu719 loll good man, I know people who bought miatas for 6k+
@@GearsandGasoline Does that magnet work on chicks too?
I could watch a whole video of John explaining the mechanics of cars
Me too and the detailing if the gears too
Yes! There's something special about listening to someone go off on a topic that they're knowledgeable and passionate about.
We need director cut of john explaning the mechanics of cars

I love talking with and watching people who REALLY know their stuff. Thanks for the share!
This perfectly explains my love of automobiles.
this is a great comment 👌
You would shut down and put your walls up, becoming unteachable. Then you would push the person away because youre too scared to get over it.
That's not destroying a diff, that's exterminating a diff.

I miss Small ben. Glad he's doing better!
what happened?
Did he catch covid? Happy to learn he is doing better, if he had covid, I hope people learn to get vaccinated, even if they might not stop one from getting sick, they are very effective at stopping serious infections
@@onelyone6976 he had covid then I believe it caused him to get pneumonia. He had to be put on a ventilator
@@onelyone6976 he had covid and hit him hard but he recovered. He was on ventilator for about 2 weeks I think,
So hes better now? I don't have an Instagram so im not in the loop. Sorry
I live in Kalamazoo and I have heard nothing but perfection from those guys, they truly are the masters with transmissions and diffs
If this video was realistic, it would have ended with Ben doing figure 8's in a parking lot for half an hour to break in the diff 😂
C'mon DP, give em a break (no pun intended)

I like your selfie gamer. Very realistic

hey guys just wanted to compliment and say i really liked the editing style of this video where you had the process of what's being done to the parts and on the bottom noted "effect" with a short description of the effect of the work being done. it was really digestible and made the video really engaging in a balanced way. cudos to the editor and keep it up!
"A lot of unwanted attention at Chick fil a" while driving a yellow car with a massive wing and exhaust 😂
Yeah but that's wanted attention
Absolutely love a technical breakdown of a system, always a W when Gears and Gasoline posts a video!
Let us all just take a moment and appreciate the craftsmanship here. When someone asks “why is that so expensive?” Many times it’s because there are men who have put in the time, sweat, and blood and know for a fact what they are doing through and through. This gives me a weird sense of comfort and appreciation. And I’m the weird guy who watches every Sunday and knows little to nothing about cars. Great content guys. One day I’ll have something besides my 2003 CRV lol
Dang! You properly destroyed that diff. When mine went in my 02' WRX I was on the freeway. I was doing some "testing" against a Charger. I guess the diff just overheated and bang! Sounded like a 12 gage went off in my car. The broken gear teeth exited through a large hole in the case.
I have a bugeye wagon, I'm already worried about the 5 speed dont get me paranoid about the diff now 😅
@@Lucky-vc1qo They're definitely glass but long as you're easy going INTO gear it holds well. I got 190k on my 03 before I sold it stock trans on an evo3 16g turbo

This was beautifully shot and the musical selections were awesome. Many thanks for putting this together for us. :)
This video was fantastic. Love how in-depth these guys go, I had no idea you could even do this much things to a differential!
"Life's easier with friends." Of course it is and of course a lift. (:
Good video sir. I enjoy your videos mostly for the knowledge you all share with us during the builds. Thank you ben and Ben.
@Fresh Produce That's what everyone needs is a friend. (:
its hard to believe your rx7 trip was almost a year ago
time flies when you have a fast car ( red rx7 )
Okay, this is my favorite video so far. I use a variation of the magnaflux machine for a living. Except I use it for different parts. I thought it was great because I’ve actually inspected a differential gear ring once before at my shop! Insane!
The production on this vid was insane! Loved all the camera angles and the car talk 👊
I totally agree that I could watch the diff gears getting detailed all day. Something so damn satisfying about that
every part of this video is phenomenal especially the last part. That was special and exciting. Thank You for making our Saturdays fun .
In case anyone was wondering Tribology is the study of wear, friction and lubricants.
I was expecting a Ford 8.8 but I guess that'll be next if you manage to grenade this one. Hopefully it holds up though
Man these dudes are into what they are doing with those differentials. As always, awesome content!
Can you please make a video where John speaks about this rebuild, I would love to hear about these topics, great video.
Please upload the full video of the gentleman explaining the mechanics of the diff. I'm definitely interested!
great video. thanks to everyone, car community is the best of people
I've had my rear diff, transfer case and transmission built by Jon and the guys! They are the best. AND YES I CAN CONFIRM, JUST LET HIM TALK AND YOU BETTER LISTEN!
Thats impressive, removing the stress risers on the outside of the case!
Even more impressive the mag particle testing being performed on the internals. 👏👏👏
8:12 that's one of the best explanation of how an LSD actually works
I love watching and listening to people who are masters of their craft like Jon and Aaron. So much knowledge to be learned from people like them.
I've never known about any of this. How does one get into learning all about this? Getting a career out of this? This is super interesting, looks like a lot of math and engineering, right up my alley. I doubt this is something you learn at UTI or whatever.
Could probably start with that for the basics but I’m thinking the rest is just hands on experience at jobs like these.
"Help case no cracky"... such a beautiful translation
Amazingly interesting video, never would have thought a diff shop would shot peen harden the case or MT the internals for micro cracks.
Could you guys have Jon do a crash coarse on some automotive technology that doesn't get much coverage? I always love learning some new quirks and features.
Hell yeah. I lived in Kzoo for about 6 years when I was in school. Happy to see the RX-7 back in business.
2:10 - "Do you think there's any point in draining this diff?"
that got me good
So glad you have the RX7 up and running again!
Honestly a series with Jon explaining the mechanics behind things is something I'd dump so much time into watching.
Kool video. Watching a true professional at work is always awesome.
Ben, please upload a whole video of John explaining things. Please share good info to educate the community! I doubt anyone else would have such a thorough explanation.
Thanks for the time stamps, keeps the editing magic in perspective 😁
I can't be the only one who wants you to just air the unedited bits of the Tech Talk w/ Jon! Would be super informative.
The secret to not grenade an FD diff is PRELOAD the drivetrain before launching. The inner torsens have a bit of slack which allows too much play with the drive shaft. When launching without loading, you're basically impact/jack hammering the internal torsen gears as the driveshaft will free spin a little bit before the gears engaged internally. Preloading seats all the gears.
This G&G video had it all.
ASMR, educational content, carnage, and christening new parts with donuts.
Jon and Aaron are the bestest mad scientists.
@7:28 - just how much blood did he get all over this diff?! This video was well worth the wait - extremely informative for me as I don't have any differential experience (from a rebuild perspective)
I'd love to see an uncut version of John :) 10/10 would watch
That explanation of how the diff works is amazing.
Thanks Ben! Good to see your doing better.
I would hook up with Ben😊
I’m relieved to know I’m not the only one with an ATS “super silent” that isn’t exactly what I would consider quiet, let alone silent haha. It’s held up to some pretty hard abuse in my FD, launching at the track on drag radials, so I think you’ll be pleased!
15:52 this dude knows his art... god damn
This is my favorite channel on RUclips by far.
Good to see the diff fixed. You will find with the diff support you will get a winning noise when driving. Definitely worth having it but.
Diff content at its finest, these guys are legittt asf
Never thought a diff was so complicated,very helpfull video.
14:25 glad I'm not the only one that repurposes those cafe bustelo family sizers 😂
Great diff breakdown and explanation. Excellent stuff. Thanks
That diff was nuked, holy moly!
That one dude that has all that knowledge like a professor would be awesome to talk to. All these people actually. This is a great video!
Super interesting episode, cheers boys!
That turbo whistle is awesome!
Everything is easier with a buddy, I like that. Truism for life.
There's no replacement for -displacement- verbosity. I love guys like that and I wish there were a billion more like him
The efforts you guys put into this videos is just Amazing..!!
your mad scientist's explanations are 👌
The editing in this is awesome, i love it!
That diff is a work of art. I want one just to fiddle with at my desk.
Amazing looking car, sounds incredible. Powerful but docile. Great work!
What a solid video to start the day. Always killing it guys
I would advice getting a diff brace the attaches to the subframe and not just a diff cradle. The cradle will not stop the front of the diff from moving up and down causing the pinion gear to walk down the ring gear!!
Welcome back Ben I’m a supporter from the Rx7 road trip video
Love how informative these videos are!
Time to see these guys at the hoonigan burn yard!
You should release a video of all the explanation Jon is giving
Atta boy letting it rip. I would be scared to do it again for a long time
Man that rotary sounds so crisp 🤤🤤
It would be awesome to see a tech talk with John.
All these shop hours, it's really beautiful what they do, but I wonder at the cost vs just swapping in a new one when you bust the old one without all the machining.
"If your magnetic drain plug has got chunks on it, then its bad."
Not sure about that, I think if your diff has been split in half and is void of all oil that things are pretty bad
I want a mechanic like John
You guys should make a video on what tools you have at the shop
This is the most interesting post I’ve seen in years. Wow! Keep it up
this is amazing, id never in a million years be able to do this!
So much diff info here. I hope that is the RX-7 diffs being weak as the crack was huge. Hope my 2017 GT86 LSD is stronger. But I won’t be trying donuts on dry tarmac just in case.
I love your channels content so much. Always so so good. So aesthetic and insightful
it's always a good day when it's about the RX7
How has Gears and Gasoline not hit a million subscribers yet? (As of the original release time of this video) the video quality is so astonishing, and they seem to be incredibly popular amongst the community
i wanna see the whole video post it up!
What a fascinating explanation of an LSD. Dude is so interesting
An excellent vid, albeit one that might *perhaps* give viewers the impression that FD diffs are fragile. Having had mine for nine years and done a few trackdays, I've not encountered any diff problems nor heard of it being an issue outside of big-power drag cars. It's important to remember that the RX-7 is a quarter-tonne lighter than most 276hp-class rivals, without using any exotic materials. You don't shave that kind of weight by making anything thicker, stronger or heavier than it needs to be. As a piece of precision engineering, most parts of the FD are strong enough for normal enthusiastic use; however they don't have the extra margin for "abuse" in the way that a Mustang or Camaro might. That's part of the tradeoff for a lighter car.
Don't worry, I understand this is RUclips not real life. You made an amusing video breaking the diff, and now you've made a really informative and enthralling technical one replacing it with an upgraded part that'll stand up to burning out sticky tyres.
So yeah, not a complaint at all, love the channel - just want to put the 'weak' diff aspect into context for other viewers 🙂
I live around 2 hours away from them, I would love to have them build my transmission when it finally dies.
This was wholesome on another level, plus Luke being the date. Were you nervous? 😂
man trying to do donuts and burnouts on Falken tires, can't. That's good advertisement for some hell of a good tire. This video was awesome btw.
I bought the Azenis after watching the Ben's race on them. They are crazy sticky and surprisingly good in the rain.
That's hell of donuts ! Glad it's back on road and didn't break. :D
Can you drop some info for that repair shop in Michigan? That workmanship is top notch!
Give us that uncut lecture with John.
Wow that was a rough job. My buddy and I pulled the diff out of his 350Z while on our backs under the car in far less time. Lol
We literally didn't have to uninstall anything else to get it out. Hahaha
I know this is moot for the content of the video but it's nice to see you've kept your pop up headlights 😍
