Re-installing the torque convertor on my gen 3 Outback after it jumped out while removing the engine for maintenance. Makes more sense after you see it. If the intermediate piece is still In the transmission you should be able to fish it out of there with a wire hook or a couple small screwdrivers. Never found the missing tab. Hoping it flushed out on the floor with all the fluid I lost. Garage looks like a bad episode of a hospital drama.

Thank you so much for making this I was stuck and this helped me a lot!
fked too, thanks man
i washed the engine bay with hot water some clothes detergent and a hand brush – super clean – hose off and blow air clean so nice – some scrubbing and looks like new again !
doing this now with a new ej207 imported short block and ej205 heads – RA JDM block and heads with brian crower s/s valves springs and viton stem seals – iag alloy sump kit – gt28/69rs turbo 565cc injectors – std cams . automatic trans ! 4.44 lsd.
I would never have put that back together with that broken keeper. NO WAY! The rest was great! Thank you for the video.
Thanks for this!
Finally found a good repair manual for the subaru transmission. The spec I was after is the distance from bell housing to face of torque converter. For the 2015 TR580 and TR690 it is .268 or 6.8mm
Where did you find the subaru transmission manual online. I haven't been able to find a good maintenance book that covers the transmission. I have the 2015 legacy with the R580.
Great video!!! I forced it in with the engine I didn’t know about that Inner piece then when I tried turning the engine to install the converter bolts it wouldn’t spin!! It was totally stuck so I took it back off and saw the converter out. And thanks to this video I can finally finish the car! Thank you sir
Mine will not fall that last third of an inch…
A bit of drama
I was cheering for you till the end!
For anyone struggling I made two mistakes…
1.) I had the transmission too low, it still needs to be jacked up a bit so it’s well clear of the crossmember.
2.) I was holding the weight of the TC up, but i finally figured out that even though I was holding the TC straight, the last set of female splines were tilted down just a bit inside the TC. I actually pushed downwards on it a bit, let it sit on its own weight, and it finally popped in.
Nice video, sure appreciate the guidance!
How did you pull that shaft out?
Thank you thank you thank you it really helped from Huntington Beach California
Gracias,me salvaste con tu video, me sirvió para un subaru legacy del 99,gracias por el video
Buy a new ring clip.. Cheap ass!
Put some gloves on fool! Thanks for the video!
this is an older video by now but did that shift fine when it was back running, only wandering cause I heard there is a seal in there that you can damage? asking cause of being in the exact situation as you are/were.. thanks
This video is worth it's weight in gold. I wish I had seen this before trying to put everything back together. Thank you so much for posting
