Subaru Clutch and Transmission Install Part 2 of 2

[@samoliver9132]

Tip for getting the input shaft aligned with the clutch: if the input shaft won’t go in and there’s a 1/2 inch gap between the transmission and the engine, use a breaker bar and try turning the bolt on the crankshaft pulley in the front of the engine a little until they connect.

[@gregcottrell9177]

Excellent job! Good camera work and lighting. I also appreciate the highlight arrows pointing to specific bolts, nuts, studs, etc. Subtle humor. Keep up the good work…our family has three older Subarus!

[@DinasGarage]

Never owned a Subaru but I have learned a lot from you about them. I was a Honda Tech for over 10 years. Great job Brian! Thank you!!

[@snarpalous]

You're the man Brian. Your videos have helped me out a ton over the past few years of maintaining my vehicles. Thanks a lot!

[@wingman358]

i appreciate all the little explanations you give for the various parts, like the camber bolt, axle nut detent, etc.

[@lazysod304]

Just wanted to say thank you and keep up the good work. I am going to be needing this info for a clutch job on my WRX sooner or later for sure. Your channel is such a great learning resource and it is really great of you to take your time making these videos and sharing them with everyone.

[@ManicMechanic007]

Informative, educational, and entertaining. Thanks Brian.

[@bienmendoza]

you rock man! can't believe you finished this when you were sick

[@adrianbrady2516]

watching this 2 years later. great great diy video! thank you

[@dustinjones9882]

I'm about to tackle my first transmission (1997 Subaru Impreza Wagon). I'm sure it's way different but inspiration all the same. Good quality, clear instruction. Nice work

[@MrEdsster]

Another great video. Wango tango would've been a good song to play when you mentioned music and wait for it.... Come together right now. By prolly the bestest group of all time.. Beatles.. Thanks Brian we all live vicariously thru you and enjoy your sense of humor.... Getting old and my body parts quit working as good as they used to.. I enjoy your videos.. Be safe...

[@dennismayer4936]

Watching a pro at work,(like golf on tv) looks so easy. great camera work too!

[@ryansauto93]

Thanks for the videos Brian! Always awesome to see Subaru stuff.

[@ramoine35]

Your videos are fantastic with all the details ! Thanks for taking the time to make them , I have really learned a lot from watching them !

[@SushiPac]

Best channel in town. I'll be subscribed for LIFE!!!!

[@keeganlewis1886]

Thanks for the video Brian, helped me a ton with a bad clutch fork on a Forester XT

[@Flakadelic]

Thanks for the vid, great clarity and camera angles, I am doing my clutch tomorrow and this was a great prep course. you rock!

[@jgizzy]

It was a pleasure watching both parts of this video, I am always watching and waiting for your new videos -- you're a natural at this keep it up and thank you.

[@taekwondad42]

That crazy ground wire! Before I even got under the car, I saw a ground wire hanging from the upper middle of the firewall! Thought that was interesting.

[@RustyPNW]

Sick tutorial. Made my transmission replacement work less frustrating.

[@dandewane9934]

Thanks for posting good videos on Subaru repairs. Saved me a lot of money, busted knuckles and plus some select words. I've replaced the timing belt from your videos and it worked out great. I now have to replace the center diff and the throw out bearing is making noise so this video will be a great help.

[@mgkfrankk7457]

Really nice videos, I learn a lot of stuff because of you, it's really appreciated !!!! Greetings, from quebec !!!

[@Trials-and-Tribulations]

air hose trick is genius, bet its helps beating the clock. Flat rate

[@filibertobarrera3839]

Amazing trick with that air hose.Will definitely use it for my transmission and axles.

[@Pie4life123]

i dont even have a car and yet i still watched all off it and liked it.

[@briansmobile1]

Thanks!

[@mannyman874]

Not boring at all love it, beginning to end.

[@FuryVoxx77]

THANKS FOR MAKING THIS KILLER VIDEO -- IT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE AND HELPFUL - MUCH APPRECIATED. THANKS BUDDY!!!

[@146wade]

First time clutch job for me and with your video it will be successful! Thank you!

[@mikebarnes3238]

Great video Brian. I really enjoy them and they are extremely helpful

[@smiththers2]

as always a very informative video. pulling engine and transmission on my OBW this week, always check your videos first!

[@mph5896]

I love those studs that help guide the engine/trans back together. Next time I do a trans job I may wack off some bolt heads and use them for guide studs.

[@johnmunaretta933]

Great video and great Mechanic you are! Keep up the great work ! Very educational !

[@greasyhandsauto-shaunbutte9726]

Thanks! I won't say how long I've been working on cars but I will say I'm 49. You guys can do the math. I have never seen or thought to use air to force gear lube. Awesome! I'll never do it any other way.

[@lckeeper1]

Love your stuff, Brian! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@petrocksgarage]

Great video. I've always wondered why some manufacturers use springs with their exhaust flange bolts/nuts, and some don't. Pros & cons? Any ideas?

[@Mihaul1]

Out freaking standing - Well done sir

[@tonythephatone]

i had an 01 alero that had a bad wheel bearing on it... had it replaced at a dealer on the seller's dime... turns out dude didn't tighten that big nut nearly enough. i got five feet out of the door and hit the brakes and went straight back in and told them something was wrong because my brakes were messed up... a mechanic test-drove it and said it was fine. i had to go home and take it apart myself to figure out what was wrong. suffice it to say i never went back to that place after i made them fix it.. which, somehow, when they weren't getting payed, took about 1/8 the time. but yeah, those symptoms.. brake pedal shooting almost to the floor, steering off, wobble, and grinding sounds from the caliper mount scraping on the brake disc.. that's one of those CV nuts not tightened right.

[@grasspl8]

Brian your a genius, god bless. Keep up the good work

[@Fishingwithshawn11]

your videos are very detailed and understanding I did head gaskets on my 97 Subaru outback by watching your videos only issue I had was timing due to it being dohc. Also I'm about to help my brother with his clutch and he lost 4th gear in his 01 Forester and 5th is popping out any suggestions

[@daverson8609]

Hi Brian, Really enjoy your videos. Just wondered why you undo the camber bolts instead of popping the ball joints out so you don't risk a camber change? Is there something on the Subaru that prevents this?

[@cameronmauro7209]

I got up to putting the trans back in with my dad on my 06 wrx, it won’t get past the turbo while we try and Manouver it onto the 2 studs aswell, we have given up and I’m now paying for the rest of it to get done at a shop

[@QBallRacing]

great video. but i wonder how you resurfaced the flywheel

[@danlench]

Do you or have you thought of using a GoPro? super small and you can get or make a clamp for it. Thanks for the videos!!

[@scaredsoath]

Great videos and I'm doing this job for my 1st time on my 2013 Subaru Impreza wrx hatchback. I putting the clutch fork and release bearing together but they seem too loose or too much play. Is their a clip or something to hold them together?

[@Mr.M1STER]

Brian what are your thoughts on lining a clutch up by eye. My father always does it but he is over 30 years in the business as a technician.

[@693tanner]

i like watching your videos. wish i had the experience to do this stuff myself.

[@charlielowe4479]

For the pilot bearings to pop them out I just do the ole trick fill with grease and get a socket and extension the same diameter socket and the volume of grease and force forward pushes the bearing out even bread works but it's a mess of crumbs and not really worth the time I've seen the bread trick done haha

[@thamnophis14]

Always enjoy your videos. My 2000 Outback thanks you.

[@curtispomykal8432]

Great video Brian! on a 2000 manual subaru my car is stuck in 1st gear. Any likely culprit you can suggest?

[@psp10004]

Yay, new vid. Also... SO MANY PILOT TOOLS

[@ModMINI]

Love the pilot tools. I only have about 8 now but the collection is growing.

[@emprexvest]

You miss spelled cordless in the description. What are you doing to the hawkeye auto Impreza?

[@ModMINI]

Dial down your pressure regulator to avoid accidentally exploding the oil bottle. One time I had an involuntary twitch and sent full pressure into the bottle, the hose shot out of the bottle and oil went everywhere.

[@briansmobile1]

That sounds EXCITING!

[@garrettchappell3786]

yay! learning! how long did this take all in all?

[@goofyone6721332004]

Awesome video as usual Brian! Thumbs up yeah!

[@junglejim13660]

Great job as always. Did you have to bleed the slave cylinder?

[@briansmobile1]

Thank you. I replaced a bad brake hose before replacing the clutch. I didn't have to bleed it but the once before the job.

[@junkwire]

Excellent video, and I'm beginning to rely a bit on your advice. Could you do the same transmission R&R for an automatic?

[@briansmobile1]

When I get the chance again sure. I shot one, but the story line was a mess- never edited it. Got interrupted a lot.

[@junkwire]

I've had that "interruption" problem all day today. That wire, by the way, attaches to the torsion mount on the top of the tranny. Thanks for the heads up, I knew to look for it.

[@zappa916]

great vid as always. Those pic captures are funny. Wouldn't it be great if car manufacturers design a car in such a way as to replace clutch kit without separating transmission from engine. Cant be that hard.

[@snotbubble6232]

Did you just clean your flywheel with one of those brown pads on a angle grinder

[@94gais]

Awsome video! Do u have any idea if its the same process on a subaru wrx sti 04? alots look the same under there=)

[@tommygomez5343]

Any idea where to buy the replacement bearings and syncros for subaru manual transmission?

[@CMEINSLER]

What brand replacement parts do you use? My 2000 Forester is wearing thin @ 140K and I want to get the best deal. Thanks

[@WildSpartan300]

Hey Brian Im an aircraft mech in the USMC, with out power tools and following the videos frame by Frame do you think I can do all this in About a day? Like 12 hour span? My subie needs a new transmission.

[@Halffast719]

Hey Brian, I have an oil leak at the rear of the motor on my 03 wrx. Which is easier pulling the motor or the transmission.

[@samallen976]

i pulled my 2.2 in my 96 legacy to do the seals but when your back there the usual culprit is the oil seperator cover you can probably do seals with tranny out but if you have ever pulled a seal its gonna be easier to pull engine where you have acces to back of engine good luck and i would pay close attention to those torque values you dont want to be a stripper who doesnt get paid lol oh and i dont have experience with turbos they have down pipes and stuff i wpold research that too so your less likely to screw somrthing up good luck subys are worth the effort in my book

[@allthehandlesweretaken]

thanks for not using garbage units

[@thomasmurphy5906]

What is up from Minneapolis Minnesota? I'm considering driving to Utah to have you work on my 07 Impreza 2.5i, It runs and drives great, but if I have problems or want to upgrade you do excellent work, Thanks Peace

[@flat_life750]

Hey Brian I wanted to ask, do you think rebuilding a rear diff on an sti would be difficult or would it be better to get a use/new one?

[@alexdao907]

I need to replace the clutch on my 97 legacy outback. Ive done a clutch replacement but on a manual 96 camry so subarus are fairly new to me. Which is the least headache, removing the transmission or pulling the engine forward about 4-6 inches?

[@nealbrinton4374]

trans

[@rhettbh]

how long did this take you start to finish?

[@danseman1]

The "Al Bundy Face" was great. haha What is "Dust resistant grease"? Is that possible???

[@kensidhu2556]

After replacing clutch successfully on 2008 Impreza , I got P0076 code for mass air flow sensor. Any idea what has caused it or what could be the idea to fix it other than replacing the sensor

[@UmanPC]

Great, Man. I'm learning from Your videos a lot. Specially that thing with "Will It Blend?"... :) Tnx

[@SuperPetrolhead87]

awsome video!little trade secrets leaked though mann on how to fill up the gearbox!

[@spiderdad00]

Great video Brian

[@ericarcher2764]

I am using a transmission jack but I can not get the trans to move forward . I feels like the nose of the trans input shaft won't got into the bearing. Any suggestions to get it to go in? I have tried nose high, tail high, level, I've been fighting this thing for almost three hours.

[@TrueBlueEG8]

Hey brian, love your videos :)

[@briansmobile1]

Thank you very much!

[@evanbreese1337]

Do you know if 2011 outback is the same?

[@fightingfalconfan]

Vary entertaining and informative...loved it!

[@g6qwerty]

How do you break in a new clutch?, I put one in my car then loaded it up and drove out with me and 2 others and luggage up across the rocky mountains from Denver right after a I put it in. but even now I'll smell clutch when pushing the engine hard. Even being in a lower gear going up a hill I'll still smell it.

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

Was the flywheel resurfaced? New pressure plate? Gripping surfaces free of grease? Is the linkage fully releasing? Do you have any free travel on the pedal? You shouldn't be smelling it! Unless you're doing high RPM engagements!

[@g6qwerty]

dansMETube Yeah whole new clutch assembly from car-quest and had Napa resurface the flywheel. The cable and linkage is fully released as theirs play in the cable. been like this since I first drove it, All I did was drive it home about 27miles , then load it up 3 adults and luggage, and drive it across the rocky mountains on I-70.

[@Strikedown2k]

Is there anything I should be aware of when replacing the dual mass flywheel in my 05 Outback XT with a single mass flywheel and clutch kit? I understand the 07 kit with a 14lb flywheel should bolt right up. Does that sound correct? briansmobile1

[@josephvillalobos1845]

my subaru won't go inti gear even after installing a new clutch its a 2005 subaru Forester. ive put a new master cylinder but it wont push back to even bleed it properly

[@maldo72]

Nice video and explanation great job

[@strawberrybarris407]

I have been struggling with the rear main seal . I can't seem to get it seated right

[@Jcanaca23]

thanks for the video great work man

[@adamhlj]

So how much did you charge for parts and labor for this job?

[@MrTRISTRAM30]

Soooooo helpfull. Cheers Brian.

[@ACCORDDEBROUSSE]

how many time it take ?

[@applejackone]

Very helpful and right now im ill so know how you felt.

[@elshankos]

Where is the link to part 1? Would be great to see it

[@briansmobile1]

[@GodsCommandmentsAreTruth]

9:51... the old Suby at the dentist! :-)

[@andrewbenton6376]

Where are you located? What's a reasonable price to pay for a clutch replacement?

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

Totally depends on what vehicle and how much stuff has to be gotten out of the way.

[@andrewbenton6376]

I was referring to a Subaru... specifically legacy gt

[@oliverlangley7024]

Cheers mate. Nice job, Ill have a crack at mine.

[@raimondszunda]

wooohoo, part 2! :)

[@AJFresh69]

Where is Part 1? I searched your channel and couldn't find it

[@MrTopwize253]

Torque spec for the drive shaft?

[@Jmodderator]

Where is part 1 ? There is no annotation or link on screen like the text says there is.

[@GunsNBudder]

+Jmodderator "Subaru Manual Transmission Removal".

[@DavidQCohen]

Thanks. I like it.

[@chrisvill54]

several subaru shops pull the engine off to do a clutch install, seems to be way easier

[@briansmobile1]

I've been doing it that way since the old GL's and DL's with the 1.8L engines. It's more about habbits formed than anything. It's like hitting the freeway vs a shorter neighborhood route for me.

[@lesterreyes8136]

great video, thanks

[@rmacewen1]

Click here for 1 of 2, not working.. got a link to it?
