You sound like you were there with me during this repair. 😅 Spacer was on the cover side due to easy installation. Don't judge if you don't know the full story.
watched the video a few times … it gave me all i needed to accomplish the job myself … thank you for making the video … also thank you for that 8mm rod slide hammer info, that came in handy 🙏🙏🙏
U made it look easy...tempting me to try it on my own...thought I'm afraid I'll head in to some unexpected issue and be left half job done. I myself had replaced too the cv axle thinking it was the problem..yet..
@@MechanicAnoop I just did the CV axles and still hear a noise when turning. I got it an alignment before thinking that was it and i was hoping that's the case now. Is there a way to diagnose the problem? How long will it last approximately before failing? Thank you in advance
Hello, mostly it lasts 100,000 km or maybe more if the vehicle was maintained with same size tires all the time. To diagnose this issue, roll the vehicle slowly forward maybe 10 meters and then put it in reverse and roll back. If you hear some clunking noise during this it should be the viscous coupling.
@MechanicAnoop Great Video! Very clear shot of your work. Nicely cleaned. I thought I saw bit of highlight on the housing from the prybar. I wondered if a puller would fit, but it looked very tight to the housing. You're clean up was was very thorough with the stone and emory cloth, rags and brake cleaner. Very good work. I think a lot of videos skip the part cleanup and that is a disservice to viewers. It also looked very cold. I've layed on concrete when its frozen and that cold soaks through. Hope you stay warm. Sounds like addon revenue sales pay better than YT. The kids call it "merch" You could paste links in the comments for your brake cleaner and sealant, or maybe your parts source for the VC. Great work. Thanks for the video.
@FixitPlease Thank you for the compliments. Yes cleaning part is really important especially if we use RTV gasket. I moved from there, now I have own service shop with warmth 🙂 Anyway thanks for the concern. Will check with this "merch". Cheers!
Excellent presentation. Thanks. One thought. Prior to removing drain plug, remove fill plug. Not being able to remove fill plug after having drained a transmission complicates life. My case was a semi-sealed automatic transmission.
Thank you so much. But this one didn't have a fill plug, its manual transmission is fitted with dipstick which is used for filling also. (It's visible in the final portion of the video)
I also changed most my front end, seems like a lot of us did and later found it was the viscous coupling 😅 cv axles tie rods sway bar bushings links etc later it’s 1 component we did not think to look at. 264k miles on my 17 Impreza and it just went out time to changed it out
Is this the same on all the subaru 6mt transmissions beaides the sti? Im looking at doing this job myself on my new to me 2017 Wrx. I already changed most of the front end suspension components but it still makes the binding thud noises on sharp turns but i noticed it only does it after the transmission warms up fully so all leads point to the viscous coupler 😅
I'm having similar problem on 2010 subaru outback mt where feels like the front end is welded diff at slow speeds and locks up around corners... I'm starting to think it's the vc..... I did a clutch on the car and notices cv alxes need to be replaced did that now I'm having this lock up issue😮
I need one of these, Mine's starting to clunk tight turns park speed. Replaced front cv shafts but still clunks, Anyway good content i know now what's the problem.👍
Hello, I made that cylinder in lathe by turning and drilling mild steel. And the M8 rod I bought from a hardware shop as 1m and cut it as I approximately needed for maximum impact and minimum injury.
And that TH-camrs, is exactly how it's done. Well done Mechanic Anoop. Andy ~
Thank you so much Andy! 😊
Except he forgot to replace the spacer washer on the viscous coupler before putting the tail cover back on.

@@MechanicAnoop I do apologize, I overlooked it on the spline in the cover. I went back and reviewed and saw it then. Again my apologies.
what sound does it make before the repair?
watched the video a few times … it gave me all i needed to accomplish the job myself … thank you for making the video … also thank you for that 8mm rod slide hammer info, that came in handy 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for watching and for the compliment. All the best 💯

Thank you for the compliment 🙏 If you have done the CV axle yourself I think you can do this job too. Lift the whole vehicle is a must. Cheers

@@MechanicAnoop Oops. I need to be more patient and watch until end of video before putting my foot into my mouth with foolish statement. I apologize.
I also changed most my front end, seems like a lot of us did and later found it was the viscous coupling 😅 cv axles tie rods sway bar bushings links etc later it’s 1 component we did not think to look at. 264k miles on my 17 Impreza and it just went out time to changed it out
Thanks for the video and the education. Cheers
You are welcome!
A real good one baby ❤❤👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Take care 😘
Thanks wife♥️🫂
Is this the same on all the subaru 6mt transmissions beaides the sti? Im looking at doing this job myself on my new to me 2017 Wrx.

Yeah, it's the same set up
Will this cause clunking when turning on car if it’s bad?
Yes.
I'm having similar problem on 2010 subaru outback mt where feels like the front end is welded diff at slow speeds and locks up around corners... I'm starting to think it's the vc..... I did a clutch on the car and notices cv alxes need to be replaced did that now I'm having this lock up issue😮
I guess it's the VC. It won't last more than 100,000 km most cases.
Is this process the same for a automatic trans? 2013 Subaru Outback. Pretty sure it's the Viscous Coupling making the noise.
Yes it's almost the same as manual as the Subaru has symmetrical AWD.
What are you spraying on the casing after you've cleaned it off? And what kind of gasket paste did you use?
Brake cleaner. RTV silicone gasket paste black colour.
Have you tried rebuilding a vc ? Seems pretty simple and wayyy less money
I didn't try yet. Seems difficult to acquire parts in EU
Would you know how different an automatic Center Diff replacement would be compared to a manual?
I believe it's almost the same as manual as they are symmetrical.
Will this be similar on a 2016 Crosstrek? Mechanics are quoting me 3-4 thousand dollars for this job and the part is only like $700
Hello, yes it's similar on your 2016 Crosstrek.
@@MechanicAnoop Thank you
Do you know how this may relate to an automatic 2010 forester?
Yes. It has same system..
use the same shims ? did you replace any other bearings ? why all the hammering ?
Yes Same. It's not hammer, It's called as mallet.
You didn’t put the spacer back, was that on purpose?
I put it back. But it was on the other half 😊
What is the cause why u replace the coupling sir?
Clunking noise in low speed, (speed of parking)
I need one of these, Mine's starting to clunk tight turns park speed. Replaced front cv shafts but still clunks, Anyway good content i know now what's the problem.👍
I'm happy that it helped you. This Subaru had the same issue, Owner changed CV axles in vain but eventually viscous coupling solved the issue.
Where did you get the cylinder?
Please clarify
@@MechanicAnoopFor the slide hammer assembly
Hello, I made that cylinder in lathe by turning and drilling mild steel. And the M8 rod I bought from a hardware shop as 1m and cut it as I approximately needed for maximum impact and minimum injury.
@@MechanicAnoopdamn, i was hoping i could buy it at a hardware store lol
@@CaptainMeliodasyou and me both 😂
1:33 Been there........at least you didn't take a chunk of skin out of your knuckles
It was terrific.
Did anyone else notice no gasket or rtv on reassembly? Its gonna leak like a seive. And yes, also all the hammering looks like something not right.
Look again slowly, the gasket you can see(black colour) it is not hammer It's mallet, it was because of the bearing fitting.
8:59 Open your eyes.
This is an excellent tutorial.
