Once again, your videos are on point! Thank you for taking the time to put this video together helped me a lot. I just replaced a clutch on a JDM 2003 Subaru B4 RSK with a twin turbo set up.
I can't wait to watch this! Clutches are like my final Frontier other than an engine rebuild. Speaking of Frontiers, I gotta redo my Nissan Frontier timing belt though. Belt wasn't tight enough. Being too gentle gets me in trouble sometimes. It'll be an epic video I hope. I know clutch by Briansmobile1 will be epic. ✌👍😁
Great videos!! This gave me the confidence to replace the clutch in my step son's 2013 Impreza. I am pretty much mechanically and have a lift but have never replaced a clutch before. Only difficulties were not being able to keep the engine angle low in the rear and in line with the input shaft. I wound up drawing in the transmission using the bell bolts and watching the engine to trans top and bottom gap keeping it even. I used a 3/8 inch ratchet and gently brought them together. Luckily there was no binding and went well. Not sure how you would angle the engine rear down otherwise. Another difficulty was separating the trans from the engine. I sprayed the dowels and bolts for days with PB blaster and needed to pry engine/trans apart using a long piece of metal in the area where you used your pry tool. The alignment pins wound up staying in the trans and I installed the trans that way but used anti seize on the pins for future work. Shaking and wiggling them apart did not work because of the rubber engine mount movement. Anyway....thanks for the videos.
Thank you for the videos Brian. I'm too old to do this stuff anymore retired mechanic. Bad shoulders and most of my other parts :-) it was fun while it lasted
I'm trying to get some part together for a new clutch and flywheel. I can't do it myself and I'm having a non-Subaru shop work on it. All those weird little things you pointed out is making my anxiety rise.
Thanks- I make this look easy! In reality, I suck. I suck at giving up. And I struggle and struggle till I find these solutions. Then I give them to you guys!
That's a ton of work man. I would be reluctant to have a dealership perform this repair. I have more trust in people like Brian. Experience & attention to detail = trust. Looking forward to your 'Monkey Dance.'
Hey Brian thanks for the video. In your opinion is there any advantages to pulling the engine vs the transmission to do the clutch I have heard of doing it both ways.
Thanks for posting this as I’m looking to change my clutch on my own for the first time. Do you need to replace axle nuts with new or can you reuse? I was assuming the safe answer is new but was curious what you have done from experience. Thanks.
Maybe taking the castle nut off and separating ball joints would be better and you don’t mess around with alignment when removing Subaru axles what do you think
Great observation- and no. This was filmed in the Summer. Everything I've been filming and working on lately has been rushed cranky and while I'm too tired to do it justice. Hence the gap since the last video.
Tarred roads. I grew up thinking of them that way. Then I moved from Northern Utah to Southern Utah and a bunch of people called them oiled roads. Not inaccurate. Roads made like that are made from parts of crude oil, but for some reason the term drove me nuts for a while, lol. @@SeanBZA
Brian is that a crack on something in the upper right of the frame at 9:05? I'm not sure what the part is, looks like it is just below the exhaust manifold?
I'm curious, would this also apply to older Subarus (like an '02 Impreza)? Seems to me that I watched a Subaru clutch swap video a while back (maybe yours) where access was gained by pulling the engine. Is the difference in the car, or something else like maybe access to a lift?
i have similar clutch pilot string not 90+ are they all different?? mines 35 /45 but they didnt allways come with kits, all doubles given away ,some main shafts and universal. that string is impressive!!! wow
I need some info about 07 dakota has getrag238 6-speed now I believe the throw out bearing is getting bad, thing is it’s quite at first but a drive to town and home I hear it when I get home, just had a clutch at 153k-$1070 later 20k Miles later I don’t think they changed the throw out bearing... any chance could be something else that’s wrong?
I just had quotes on a 2010 Impreza Limited Wagon naturally aspirated I recently purchased: Dealer $2,500, a shop with a fancy name $3,500-4,000, a local shop that hasn't done one prior, but are very capable $550, and an AAMCO transmission place $800-1000, leaning to the shop that charges the least, since it could require a new flywheel and other stuff, and since I paid 3k for the car, making it another $1,000 or less makes the most sense (I am going with a Luk kit that run $200, flywheel and a couple of other parts another $200)
I do that too some times. It just depends on the engine toppings and what I'm feeling. Most are faster pulling the trans, but it's 6's. Here's a video I did on a Subaru Impreza where I pulled the engine to do the clutch instead. → ruclips.net/video/AOzIFnEm2-8/видео.html
We started calling them bohoobarus when we had several subarus in a row for leaking head gaskets. Coolant and oil..expensive repairs and the looks on our customers faces when we say how much😢😢😢😢
@@theadventuresofjavier8698 We should have nicknamed ours like that. 07 Forester with over 210k. Decent shape but we wound up going through 2 heads for the drivers side. (dropped guides, cracked spark plug holes, severe warp that the machine shop refused to deal with....etc...) Finally found one out of a scrapped Subaru that only needed to be surfaced. Very very mild warp so no issues with the cam. Put about 8k on it so far and it drives great! But I'd hate to have had a full dealership or garage do what we did to it. Would have pegged over $2000 easily by the time we finished it
Watch my video on them & you'll like the. They're a hell of a lot better than the clips Toyota used in the early to mid 1990's or Isuzu's pressed inner joints on the Rodeo.
Why did you pull the struts loose? Was that one of the extra things you did? Totally not necessary to remove axles. When does the clutch replacement start?

I love it when you work on Subarus. Helps me with the three I have.
Thanks for the feedback!
Same!

I'm a simple man, I see brians video, I like.
Thanks masked dude!
Great information Brian. Awesome job as always, totally enjoy all the video’s and thanks for taking the time to produce them.
You have some good tricks up your sleeve Brian.
Thanks- I make this look easy!
In reality, I suck. I suck at giving up.
And I struggle and struggle till I find these solutions.
Then I give them to you guys!
1:30AM... Ooh look a clutch video!
Sounds like me!
I was up at 3am morning before last when earthquake # 3 in 10 days hit- then I really couldn't sleep! lol
That's a ton of work man. I would be reluctant to have a dealership perform this repair. I have more trust in people like Brian. Experience & attention to detail = trust.
Looking forward to your 'Monkey Dance.'
Thanks Paul! This one is easy. I'm just putting a lot of detail in it.
You're welcome. @@briansmobile1
Brian, holy shit, no rust on a car that age, here in Scotland that would be rusted to fu know what. Great video. Joe.
Is there a part 2? This vid was great!

You are a good teacher, thank you

Hey nice tips, where did you buy those red plugs to stop the trans from leaking?
It's gonna drip a little...deal with it. Awesome advice!!
So clean underneath, did you take it for a pressure wash the day before you started this video to get it so clean.
Great observation- and no. This was filmed in the Summer. Everything I've been filming and working on lately has been rushed cranky and while I'm too tired to do it justice. Hence the gap since the last video.
@@briansmobile1 Still very clean car, every one i see under has a lot more dirt on it, even from driving strictly on tarred roads.

Pop the lower ball joint instead of the strut bolts. You dont have to remove the brakes or anything.
About 5:23 be ready to pause for text and diagrams!
Brian is that a crack on something in the upper right of the frame at 9:05? I'm not sure what the part is, looks like it is just below the exhaust manifold?
YES! I see you have an eye for detail- nicely done!
It's the turbo heat shield. I tack welded it. It should be replaced.
How long should a clutch last under normal street driving conditions? More
Or less.
1-250k+, usually, depending on how nice you are to it... Average 150k-250k...
I'm curious, would this also apply to older Subarus (like an '02 Impreza)? Seems to me that I watched a Subaru clutch swap video a while back (maybe yours) where access was gained by pulling the engine. Is the difference in the car, or something else like maybe access to a lift?
I think I got my answer at the beginning of part 2.
i have similar clutch pilot string not 90+ are they all different?? mines 35 /45 but they didnt allways come with kits, all doubles given away ,some main shafts and universal. that string is impressive!!! wow
Great video Brian
Have you ever have a crank no start situation after the install?
I need some info about 07 dakota has getrag238 6-speed now I believe the throw out bearing is getting bad, thing is it’s quite at first but a drive to town and home I hear it when I get home, just had a clutch at 153k-$1070 later 20k Miles later I don’t think they changed the throw out bearing... any chance could be something else that’s wrong?
How did you get so spoiled Brian working on a rust free car like that? You mentioned some great tips and tricks!
I think we're about see him in for a fight. Overall it looks really clean, but those final shots show some rusty trouble brewing ahead.
Great video!
Where did you get those caps to plug the axles?
and the question is .... how much do you usually charge for this service?
Not enough. I always use friends and families cars to make videos on. Sometimes just cookies. Shops I worked at would get like $750-$1250
I just had quotes on a 2010 Impreza Limited Wagon naturally aspirated I recently purchased: Dealer $2,500, a shop with a fancy name $3,500-4,000, a local shop that hasn't done one prior, but are very capable $550, and an AAMCO transmission place $800-1000, leaning to the shop that charges the least, since it could require a new flywheel and other stuff, and since I paid 3k for the car, making it another $1,000 or less makes the most sense (I am going with a Luk kit that run $200, flywheel and a couple of other parts another $200)
Why didn't you just pull off the ball joint to remove the axles? There's no added alignment needed afterward.
(off topic) Damn, a Look bike!!!
Could anyone pls answere this Qustion dose the alinement tool com in the Clutch kit? :)
Man thats a good accent....im gonna guess central or southern Utah or south west Idaho...good vid too!
Ivan from phad did a clutch on a Subaru Forrester and instead of taking the transmission out , he took the motor out.
I do that too some times. It just depends on the engine toppings and what I'm feeling. Most are faster pulling the trans, but it's 6's.
Here's a video I did on a Subaru Impreza where I pulled the engine to do the clutch instead. → ruclips.net/video/AOzIFnEm2-8/видео.html
By the way. phad is Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics. Ivan is rad. Great channel too.
thank you for the info
Troco direto aqui na Oficina
Agradável!
Good video.
0:16 Wow
Good o'l bohoobaru's
Gotta love e'm
Thanks B
Oh no! Is that a thing now?
Welcome Javier! is that a new thumb for you?
A young trainee coined that phrase. Hes gone but the saying stayed 😂

Well I guess I’m NOT going to attempt this myself...
Them pins are nasty lol!

I've known your specialized chisel for a long time. Doesn't look too much worse for wear. Lol
wow...
Good morning Bob! Good to see you!
Where's spanky at? Why isn't she helping you?
That's about 2 or 3 videos from now on a Subaru strut mount video. Stay tuned!
As always great tips and tricks
