goneskiian Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Cross post (sort of) from the Group N Tranny mount thread... OK all fixed! Turns out it was the main bearing in the transfer case that was making so much noise. Apparently this bearing is right at the back of the transmission and right under (approximately) where the shifter comes into the cabin. Hence the reason I could hear it so well! I brought it home with me and will try and take some pictures of it. Basically the roller bearings were all a little pitted with one or two having some huge pits in them. You can also see where the heat was building up and turning the steel black. I had all the bearings replaced, the first gear synchro, a helical front LSD installed, a TSK3 tranny snout kit installed and a new ACT HDSS clutch and WRX flywheel installed. Total damage (parts, labor, shipping and sales tax) was ~$4400. Damn! That's the first time I've added it all up! Maybe I should have just done the 6MT swap! That breaks down to ~$1200 for the front LSD from Rallispec, ~$1000 (minus $400 in Subaru Bucks so really only $600 ) for the clutch, flywheel, TSK3 and 4 qts. of Extra-S from Fred Beans Parts (Thanks Jeremy and crew!), and ~$2200 for the labor and small parts (bearings, synchro, seals etc.) from a great local Subaru shop Outback Automotive (Thanks JohnJohn and crew!). Cheers! Update on my tranny work. Had a bolt shear off the pinion ring of the front LSD and punch a hole in my case yesterday on the freeway. Took me a few seconds to realize it was me doing all the smoking and burning then I got it off the road and stopped as quickly as I could. Hopefully just need to buy a replacement case but don't know if there was any internal damage yet. Shouldn't be with how much oil I left on the side of the road. Later.

BL_Soldier Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 My tranny went out last night. Complete absolutely crap! I thought it was my clutch or my flywheel. But the transmission has been rebuilt before I got the car. Ughhhhh. I was going to do a trade on it. Just waiting on quotes for repairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzimutt Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I need some insight here: I had a new clutch installed last month along with a new flywheel, both from Spec. I'm about at the end of the 500 mile break in. Last night, at a stop light, the transmission refused to shift into any gear. It just wouldn't go- finally with a bit of force (and folks honking at me) I got it into 2nd and pulled away. It seemed to shift OK through the upper gears, all the way home. Once home though it would not go into reverse or first with out shutting off the motor. With the motor shut off it would easily go into gear. This morning everything seemed OK- a little stiff but working. any thoughts? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeFromPA Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Sounds like an install problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoplightAssassin Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Your clutch pedal probably needs to be adjusted a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 You probably shouldn't have gotten a Spec clutch.

mwiener2 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Why is this a sticky? guzzimutt - Clutch isn't dis-engaging properly. Poor install or wrong parts. I had my main output shaft bearing go at 50-60k miles. Holding fine now with 450ftlbs. ACT clutch rated for 420ftlbs slips in below freezing conditions.

guzzimutt Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 thanks all- so where is the adjustment? I thought since this is a hydraulic actuation there was no adjusting arm. load it and go BAC what's your story on SPEC clutches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 there is a threaded rod for adjustment on the clutch pedal itself My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoplightAssassin Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 negative. the rod is over the accelerator pedal. the wiring harness on the accelerator pedal should be removed and then you'll have better access to the adjustment rod don't forget to plug the harness back in before you start the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe08 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Center Diff to be exact. I don't race it. Commute and that's it. We bought it used from a dealer. Got extended coverage. Thank God, because I would've been screwed. Brought it in for a PZEV recall for the ecu and told them the shifter was making a vibrating noise around 2500-300 rpm. Dealer had car for 3 weeks. finally got all parts in. I go to pick it up, and hear a sawing noise driving it home. Get on highway and noise goes away. Almost home and I look in rear view and see smoke pouring from car. Luckily I'm less than a mile from home. Get home and look underneath, and there's gear oil pouring out center diff. Had it towed back to Feder's Subaru. They say the rear seal failed and the rear drive shaft needs replacing. Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil_z_33 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Chalk up another one. Just cruising in fifth and it exploded. Lost fifth and first. Then second. Gt35r on meth, stock motor. It was due. ACT Hdss jus started slipping last week as well. 6spd swap being sourced. Shop has a v7 s202 tranny there. Apparently has steel fork and stronger front/center diff. Any thoughts?
