I have done it both ways dropping the tranny and pulling the motor. In my experience its way easier to drop the tranny, its way less work. If you can get a hold of a transmission jack. To drop the tranny you have to remove both front axles, the exhaust, drive shaft, remove the starter, undo the slave cylinder, undo the clytch fork pivot rod and release the throw out bearing from fork. And finally remove all the bolts holding the transmission bell housing to the motor, remove the transmission supporting mounts, and than pry to separate the motor from the tranny and start lowering the tranny. If you think this is allot, removing the motor is way more. On top of that the motor is hard to pull and install because there is very little clearance.
Best engine removal of all subara I've seen
So it easier to remove engine than transmission? Everyone seems to remove engine to do this…
Great video, thank you.
Is it not easier to remove the gearbox? I mean all the fuel lines and radiator and complete engine removal seems more difficult that unbolting the rear drive shaft, downpipe , clutch fork and gearbox. Has anyone experience with both methods?
Hey David the link also won’t open for me, can you pls update for me? Thx in advance
when it chatters while taking off, releasing the clutch, does that mean it's toast?
i would rather take the transmission out, this will take many work hours
but you did that the right way
Excellent video David!! For once we have someone who actually takes the time to do a step by step. It's guys like you who give guys like me "Newb" a sense of confidence and a positive DIY to save money and gain knowledge. Thanks Brother.
dont think i saw this in the comments but for others, on the wrx the rear intercooler bracket next to the turbocharger has a open hoop to connect the chain to instead of using the intake manifold.
Hey David! Thanks for the video. I am having trouble accessing your Dropbox link and I would really appreciate it if you could maybe fix it.
