I plan on doing this install on my 2016 very soon and I will definitely be using this video to guide me! Love that you go into great detail, have great camera angles, and include the torque specs.
@@ronfromportland We had a warm day in NY yesterday so I went out and got it done! Took me three hours. Your video helped so much it made the process really easy to follow and understand. Now I just need to bleed my clutch because I ran out of daylight yesterday. Thanks again!
I have always called them crows feet wrenches? Seems like a no brainer mod honestly. That would be a nightmare if that pitch stop location broke. I always enjoy your content dude, its always top notch!
Great stuff! Keep it up. I like the little details you include in your videos such as the banjo bolt order, torque specs, and tips to keep the nut from falling into the engine bay. An ACTUAL walkthrough without having to cross check info and small details that add up to extra time. I appreciate it! I have a group n transmission and pitch stop, transmission bushings, weighted knob, oem short shifter, shifter slop brace and poly bushings. It still honestly shifts like poop and half the time it feels like I’m kinda forcing the shifts (daily driving shifts). I have an 18 wrx and something squeaks every time I press the clutch. Only 21k miles. Prob throw out bearing dry. I also never felt the clutch engagement was linear so I think I’m gonna get a ss clutch line next. This video will help. Did you notice any different clutch engagement with the ss clutch line? Do you know if the stock hard/rubber line has a clutch delay/restrictive valve? I’m thinking this may be part of my problem. I couldn’t find a definitive answer on forums. Thanks!
Thanks so much! I spend the extra time to include this information because I consider them to be the paint points that most instructions tend to miss. Thank you for noticing! That squeak is “normal” and mine has it too. I suggest putting some lube on the rubber part (I can’t remember what it’s called right now but it’s the piece near the bleeder valve that moves in and out when the clutch is engaged/disengaged). Have someone press the clutch in while you lubricate that part. The squeak disappears but it unfortunately returns over time. I’m not sure if the stock rubber line assembly has a restrictive valve but judging from the multiple angles and pieces it has, I wouldn’t be surprised. The SS clutch line made the clutch feel a little better (smoother thrust) but nothing too noticeable. I hope this helps!
@@ronfromportland thanks for the reply! I believe you are talking about the ball on the slave master cylinder (where the bleeder is connected to). I’ve been lazy to pull the TMIC but maybe soon! I’ll prob order a ss clutch line and then try lubing this. Keep up the good work and hit me up if you wanna cruise around or meet up. -Ryan(fromNEportland)
Hey man. The 2018’s and up already have the reinforced pitch stop brace. I only got this brace for my 2018 WRX as a precaution. It for sure can’t hurt to have, especially with an aftermarket pitch stop.
Hey man mine just snapped I have a 17wrx but I’m tuned should I call the Subaru see if they can cover it or should I weld it and get the bracket ? What are some symptoms when I take turns mine feels like shaky and making noises like I can feel the whole front move lol
The brace snapped it’s holding a lil barley but I can feel all types noises and when I do sharp turns that’s when I can feel it more but I’m thinking just Welding it and than order the Perrin brace with a Perrin pitch stop and go from there
@@tothemoon5770 there is a TSB for that pitch stop bracket. I’d let the dealer fix it and then install the pitch stop brace for a piece of mind.

Very nice DIY job man. Gonna watch your other tutorial videos. Support from Tokyo Japan.
Thank you man!!!
I’m going to have to pick one of these up for my car! Nice video!
Thank you sir! 🙏

Hey that’s awesome man! Let me know how it goes. Thanks for checking the video out!

@@ianlominski5227 Good to hear! I’m glad it turned out well! 🍻
My 2016 wrx broke off my firewall 😭 wondering if it's worth trying to weld it back on, then add this on or rely the brace itself? 🤔
Nice clean install. That masking tape trick has save me a few times.
Thanks man! Definitely does wonders!
Love these tutorials !
Thanks man!

I had a feeling there’d be other names for them! Much needed mod that I should’ve done a long time ago. Thanks so much dude!
Good video bro 👍
Thanks bro! 🙏
Thanks for this.
Glad to help!

Hello, I have some questions where I can contact you.
Is this an issue with the 2021 STI? I just picked up a Perrin pitch stop and came across this issue.
Hey man. The 2018’s and up already have the reinforced pitch stop brace. I only got this brace for my 2018 WRX as a precaution. It for sure can’t hurt to have, especially with an aftermarket pitch stop.

Did the actual brace snap or just the pitch stop? You’ll know if it’s broken. There would be excessive vibrations.
The brace snapped it’s holding a lil barley but I can feel all types noises and when I do sharp turns that’s when I can feel it more but I’m thinking just Welding it and than order the Perrin brace with a Perrin pitch stop and go from there

Have you had any issues with the clutch after You bled the lines
Nope, no issues. If anything, the clutch felt better.
@@ronfromportland how did you bleed the line? Thru that plastic bleeder?
@@honeyrattan6486 here’s a video of the bleeding process I made: ruclips.net/video/3GkiBld8DOw/видео.html
