And yes you have to be semi liberal with the grease on the input shaft, but the service manual explicitly states to grease the splines and realese bearing surface of the shaft so, just gotta be liberal with the goo! |

Nice writeup. Very similar to the one I was going to writeup once I get my pics back from my friend. I did a couple things the simpler way. I didn't completely remove the rear transmission cross member, and I left the starter connected to its wiring in the engine bay. I also found it easiest to remove and reinstall the transmission with the front of the engine jacked up from below. Do not use one of the engine supports that rest on the inner fender channel as our fenders are too weak and will bend. I didn't use the bolts to pull the transmission together. I just got it on the bottom two studs and put those nuts on a little bit to keep it from sliding back off and then once the engine couldn't move it wasn't too bad to shake it up and down and side to side until it was all mounted up.

I actually picked the transmission up over my head...wanted a picture but no one was around...so I put it back down because I realized how ridiculous I must look in my garage grunting like a cave man who just discovered fire, with a transmission above my head...

Thank you very much for doing this. Now I know that buying a flywheel is only 1/10th of the job and it will cost loads more than just $200 because of labor. I don't have a press so I wouldn't be able to do it myself. This will probably be one of my last mods because of this. Thanks again!

I thought I read the word press but I guess you meant press it in by hand not press it in with a press. I have press on my mind as I'm having bushings done on Valentine's Day.

In other words, if you've gotten the transmission off the engine all you have to do to remove it at this point is lower it out of the way. |

I would agree. I know I have seen videos of other Subarus where the transmission is moved back just far enough to get the clutch off since we have good access in the engine compartment, but I would recommend getting it out of there completely and doing the work on the bottom side of the car.

Just the DIY I was looking for. Thank you
Do you have the flywheel bolt torque spec? And did you use new bolts or re-use the old ones?
