Very detailed and explanation of everything, recently picked up a 2011 Wrx Hatch. Went to pull the motor and the trans came with it, previous owner failed to mention he took off the trans support and bolts so I had no idea how they mounted or went or anything so this video helped out so much.
Wow ! I’m glad I found this video ! I’m removing my full drive train today and I gotta say it’s a detailed video and you’ve shown it step by step! Thank you !!
Thank you so much for taking the time to record and upload this video. I'm in my early 50's and I'm replacing the manual transmission in my son's 2008 WRX. I referenced this video several times while removing the transmission. I made the mistake of not strapping the engine down like you did in the video. I couldn't figure out why it was getting hung up even after I had the transmission and engine separated about 2 inches. Anyway I will be picking up the replacement tranny in a few days. I ordered a clutch kit for it, but we are getting the factory flywheel resurfaced. I'm not sure sure about the cheap lightweight flywheels that come in these kits. I will get back to you when it's completed and back on the road. Thanks again. Cheers and Beers!!
Hoping I don't have to replace my trans in my 14 WRX anytime soon but if I do, I will surely watch this video again. Loved every second of this video and I laughed throughout. Way to put some humor into a really tedious job. Subscribed! Cheers, sir.
Are all four of the driveshaft bolts weighted? Do you need to mark the exact location of where each bolt came out of on the driveshaft? Thought I read somewhere that something to do with the balance of the driveshaft and the balance can be thrown off if things aren't put back a certain way.
That's the external wastewater making that noise also with the turbo. Back fires cause of the gasing, shifting and the tune, runs perfectly fine. Nice video!
Purchased a 2013 Impreza wrx about 6 months ago; had to take it in and finding a replacement transmission is a little difficult for me. I’ve talked to the dealership my car is at for repair, they are willing to install one if I can provide it. But won’t help me with sourcing it, due to liability. I read and read forums I am an unsure if I can use any year 08-14 wrx tran ?? If not what are good options for the 2013 replacement?
@@jettterwilliger375 some use an sti trans. It's less weak. Some changes need to be made for that. Otherwise, I would source one on car-part.com with a good warranty, and hope for the best.
@@RustBeltAuto I have a 5mt setup, would any 08-14 5mt 2.5 fit? Or is there any difference in those years to avoid putting in my 2013. I can’t afford to guess.
Question: when I did my clutch the throw out bearing did not have those springs holding it to the clutch fork. We were confused so we just reinstalled the new clutch without the bearing springs. Was that bad? What can happen without the springs?
Maybe nothing? A lot of other manufacturers don't have those. I doubt it will go anywhere. Maybe keeps it from rattling? If your whole world ends, let me know.
I have to remove my trans on my 13 because my throwout bearing is screaming. Saw a tsb for the clutch fork causing the issue. Do I have to take the turbo out to remove the transmission? The nice thing is I just did a turbo about 20k miles ago and every bolt got a nice coat of anti sieze so I should be golden. Any advice you can give me would be well appreciated!!
Got a question for you. Have guys had problems with bell housing bolts breaking off when removing them? I'm in the middle of pulling my trans on my 13 wrx and 2 bolts have already snapped off inside the block.
Ok is because my 08 sti hatch is at the shop and they told me is a push plate not a pull plate 😑 I'm a little upset because I feel like that they haven't touched my car I remember having a bugeye and it was pull plate any ideas why? Is the 08 same as the 02
@@RustBeltAuto thank you for replying I'm gonna go to their shop tomorrow if they haven't touched the car I'm gonna send a tow truck and just do it my self I did the bug eye is just that I dont have time now the I own a business I have to b there most of the day
I think I would use an air hammer and a chisel, before buying a t70. But that's just me, because I'm kind of a cheap hack. Fortunately, I haven't been forced to buy one to use it once or twice on a Subaru.
It's nice to see you keep moving up in the sub count man! This was a good video! I figure the way this kid hammers this Subie, you'll have plenty of content from it! How are you liking Filmora? OKAY BYE!

everything about this video was perfect thank you man i did a clutch replacement with this guide line video alone best video i came across
Thanks for the informative video! I need to replace the clutch on my 2011 wrx. Subscribed!
Good luck!
This is exactly what I've been looking for! Thanks super helpful!!
Your accent saved my life
🤣
Getting ready to pull the transmission back off of my manual swapped 92 SVX (manual is from an 09 STI)
Love it 😂 doing my 08 wrx hatch
12:41 'nuff said thats what i needed to know, thx
Thanks for the video. I need to switch the transmission on my 2010 subaru too.

The bolts are the same.
Aren't those 6 speed Subaru transmissions strong AF? I wonder how he did that?
Race car ya ya.
Great video man helped heaps

It was a joke dummy
Hey what type of clutch is in those Wrx. Is it push or pull type
Great video!
Can you reuse the axle nut or did you put a new one on? Thanks for the video. It's a great reference for my STI.
I reused them. The dealer might tell you to replace it.
@@RustBeltAuto so do you just rehammer that part is bent down to lock it in place?
@@2011WRX4ME yes
Did you use any lubricant on the input shaft splines to make the installation easier? If so, what did you use?
A very small amount of Honda urea grease if you feel it's necessary. Splines should be dry.

I have the upmost respect for this man🫶
Awesome thanks for the video it’s going to be a big help to me I have a 15 sti that I need to change the clutch and other advice you can give

You can leave the turbo in.
@@RustBeltAuto will I need to pull a vacuum on the clutch after I put the trans back in?
@@vrbonzani you should not nees to do anything with the master or slave fluid.
Got a question for you. Have guys had problems with bell housing bolts breaking off when removing them? I'm in the middle of pulling my trans on my 13 wrx and 2 bolts have already snapped off inside the block.
@@vrbonzani they were probably overtorqued. Maybe too long. I have yet to snap one on a subi.
Good video
Thanks!
Did you reuse the studs or replace them? Was there a particular method you used to torque them back down?
I reused them. You can torque them to whatever Subaru recommends, they have no sequence on the bell housing as far as I know.
@@RustBeltAuto thanks. This was a beast and a half to get back in but we got it thanks to this video.
Dude and I forgot to ask, when are you going to get your old Jonda on the YT again, aren't you going to turbo that baby?
My friend I have a 08 sti hatch 6 speed any ideas if is a pull pressure plate or like the one you have push pressure plate
I do believe those are pull plates. If you want to know for sure, call the dealer, or parts store, and use your VIN#.

ur amazing.
Oh really!?!?!?
Where do you live and how much do you charge for this? I have a ‘13 wrx!!
Outer space. Everything is free.
Did you have to remove the shifter itself? From the inside of the car?
Did you watch the video? I forgot.
Do you have to do an alignment after replacing the trans?
No.
You did a great job but I think the engine is on backwards that’s why it backfires
Lol... I would have never guessed. I better turn it around for him.
What suspension are you running for your lift? You should make a video about your lift kit!
Max jax twin post.
Rust Belt Auto oh sorry I meant on the subie. Is the Subaru lifted? Or was that lift that was making it looked lifted?
@@srichampootv yes the lift lifted it. Gotcha!!!
love the humor also
Scale of 1-10 how much does it suck to do this with out a lift?
You will be working on those 6 pack abs.
I guess that couldn’t hurt. Cheers
Same thing happened with my wastegate from tial
Man did this In sandals
did this in sandals too.

i’m not able to shake my transmission back into place:/ still got .25” of gap and it won’t moveeeee
Is it an even 1/4" all the way around?
FYI that drain plug is a t70, had to go buy specifically that one socket because nobody has it in a set lmao
I think I would use an air hammer and a chisel, before buying a t70. But that's just me, because I'm kind of a cheap hack. Fortunately, I haven't been forced to buy one to use it once or twice on a Subaru.
@@RustBeltAuto haha cheaper form e to buy the socket since I don't have a chisel/air hammer xD

Hello, what stud remover did you use to remove the 2 bottom transmission bolt studs? Do you have a link to the stud remover?
MAC TOOLS SR4MA Metric Stud Puller Set. That's the set I have. There are many more like it.
Do u have to disconnect the shift fork?
Unbolt slave cylinder?
Rust Belt Auto that's all I have to do?
@@nixl3830 Why do you think you need to remove the shift fork? To change the throw out bearing or something?

How are you liking Filmora?
OKAY BYE!
I'm trying to like it.
@@RustBeltAuto There are a few wonkey things, but for the most part, it's pretty solid. Is your PC pretty beefy?
@@BarnStangz My PC is not made with any beef, or free ranged chickens.
@@RustBeltAuto OH yeah, caged chickens! Makes me hungry for some Chick-Fil-A! DUDE, make sure you have at least 16GB of RAM, Filmora likes it!
Where are you located
Outer space.
This seems like one of the simplest transmissions swaps ever
Done old GM 350 turbo's in an hour. Did a manual in a Porsche once in about 1 1/2 hours.
This guy hates aftermarket LMFAO!! So do I🤣 pointless
Hate is such a strong word. I prefer to use disdain.
What size of a stud puller did you use ?
I cannot remember, and have a set that goes from 6mm to 12mm.
