Hey everybody, like the title said, I am new to i-club and a subarus in general.


I'm looking for any help to pull my motor. I have unplugged ad unbolted everything and either: a) the trans is SUPER stuck on the block, or b) I'm completely missing something.


I'm pulling it to replace the clutch, timing belt, water pump, valve cover gaskets, rear main seal, CVs, and I'm sure I'm forgetting other things.

If anybody wants to help, it would be very much appreciated.

P.S. I may have met a few of you at the last Thursday night meet at Buffalo Wild Wings.

 

You may need to just try and split the block from the transmission. if you got all the bell housing bolts and nuts and the 2 engine mount nuts on the bottom then you just have to fight it off.

 

That's what I'm thinking, except I've been fighting for, what seems like, way too much.

I understand that the dowel pins are rusted, but this seems to be more than a little rust.

 

Hopefully that link works. Start watching at 2:35 I think that is what you may be missing to get the Trans off.

 

I've seen that pin and plug pop up a few times however my 5mt doesn't have it. Unless it's hiding elsewhere?

 

It should have it keep looking

 

you for sure have one. Its on the drivers side of the engine

 

Took me forever to unmate the two. I had to use a pry bar once the duo was out. I took both out at the same time from the engine bay -_-

 

HIS CAR DOES NOT HAVE ONE. The clutch system on his wrx is different then bugeye/peanut eyes.

 

Alright so I'm not blind/crazy. So anything else I could be missing? I mean we had 2 pry bars and a third guy pulling/shaking trying to break it free.

 

I removed 6 engine bolts and 2 studs from the tranny. And the 2 motor mounts.

 

hmmm

 

 

So anybody want to come over and give it their best shot??
