 Welcome to another project swap video. Today we're taking out the transmission. We got the engine out. Where is it? It's right there. Now I admit it's gonna be much easier to take the transmission out since the engine is out. But if you're only taking the transmission out for some reason then watch the previous video on how to take apart the top stuff here, the top mount. All the bolts around the starter and that's that's pretty much it on this in this area here. You don't got to do anything around here obviously. So you first want to drain the oil then you want to remove these axle nuts. These guys here there's a tab and on each axle on each side there's this kind of cutout. You want to take a punch or something maybe a small screwdriver. Well I guess maybe a small screwdriver probably won't work but some kind of a flat punch and tap that nut out so the actual nut can actually come off. Do it on both sides and you want to undo the the 19 nuts and bolts on the strut towers here so the knuckle will come towards you and then you can actually it's not gonna be easy. Then you want to this way you want to remove towards the caliper. You want to remove push on the axle and then kind of tilt it and remove it you know this way. Then what I would do I would remove the damp pipe because the damp pipe runs right through here. Remove the damp pipe from the turbo. Undo this exhaust bracket here and what I should have done is remove the whole exhaust at once. You know the whole exhaust with the damp pipe. Instead I did remove it here your choice but I'm going to remove this piece all the way back just the whole with the muffler. Then I'm going to remove this heat shield here 12 more bolts two more over here. I'm going to be able to see the drive shaft and then yeah we're gonna move on. So exhaust and heat shield now. Heat shield out starter also out exhaust out now it's going to be these 4 12 mil nuts. When I grab a long screwdriver shove it in there through the u-joint hold on to it you know get it stuck on something and then just take a wrench and undo these nuts then you may want to use some kind of a maybe the same screwdriver and undo this. This kind of this plate is part of the differential and this guy is the drive shaft. Separate these two then separate or separate undo this these two 14 mil bolts and the drive shaft will come out. Alright guys so now since down below all that's left is the mount and the bracket need to come here and pop this open somehow. I have no idea how. I'm gonna have a seat and figure this out. Alright guys so to take this or just move it back you got two 10 mil bolts inside and one Phillips screw right here right underneath here if you move this to the left come on now it's there. Anyways you should probably notice that this is an STI center console and so is this because it says STI. Now the previous owner of the previous owner of the previous owner did this he I don't know maybe he had plans for this or he just liked buttons that didn't doesn't do anything in his car. No idea but so you undo these three bolts or two bolts one screw move this back then this just pops out and then you're presented with this. Now the reason why I'm doing it right up here because there's another way you need to get in here is because I'm going to be replacing this well I was until I noticed this. This shifter right now this obviously is aftermarket one would say so but I'm still gonna remove it by removing these four 12 mil bolts. I think that's a nice tape over here. Okay guys so this is what it looks like now so under the 12 4 mil bolts and this metal piece became loose and I kind of just took the rubber and just shoved it through down so it doesn't catch when we're ready to lower the transmission so all of this and that should be it up top we'll see about this. Now down below you gotta loosen this up you got two again 12 mil bolts here easy. I actually did should mention this these were pretty rusty the bolts are up up I had to come down here again and spray them with PB blaster and then actually they came out fairly easy it's going in and out so you can see that's all of this is loose so if you don't want to do that you can undo the linkage here there's a bolt or a nut right over here it's actually a bolt up top and one here right here this guy here and all this will you know just become loose I'm probably gonna end up doing that we'll see. Alright next step is to undo these four 14 mil bolts this transmission mount bracket from the body here I'm gonna put up put a this transmission jack underneath and undo these two 17 mil bolts these two and this will you can see that from the transmission is hanging over the resting on the cross member now that I look at that I kind of forgot about that I am going to have to gonna have to remove the linkage from here and now that I think about it some more I'm going to remove this just this bracket here by undoing it here and here also because I got to remove it anyways and put on the six speed I think so this will give me more access to these to this area right here coming guys coming I ended up undoing the shifter 12 mil bolt from up top and this whole linkage along with the shifter just came down so that was easy the transmission mount is off and you can see it's already on the transmission stand now now you guys you want to know you got a strap like this whatever you're using find a strap you don't have one you want to tie this thing down okay you don't want a wild transmission running around your garage now the 17 oh yeah the gun what am I doing now we're gonna bring the oh you see you see what I mean that's exactly why you tie it up now do we need to need to lower it a little bit this stand kind of sucks that's what I got come on now it's catching up top somewhere now it's catching somewhere I don't see come on out well that wasn't safe you know this gun on the dipstick guys was a dipstick all right I wanted to know I'm going to bring it lower I should have put this the stand right over here I should have removed this this cross member and put the stand right no center it so now we have a problem well not really I'm gonna show you what I do in this case but now it's free it's gotta get it out of there all right so the jack run on the cross member I'm going to use a block of wood I don't scratch the cross member because then it will rust you know that's the transmission fallen over now you want to do this with a jack on wheels not like a bottle jack if you know what I mean because the you know the car is moving back actually the front the car is moving back because it's tilting back so the if you look at the wheels on the jack they're actually the whole jack is actually moving forward quickly gonna check the jack stand in the back we're good there going up that is it hopefully you can clear the car this was a kind of kind of if I must say myself but we got it out all right so I did have to move the transmission from the jack because it was just way I needed maybe three more inches which I didn't have so I just threw some wood right next to the jack and just kind of slid the transmission off I know I mean I was you know halfway underneath the car the jack stands will still still in the same spot so if it were to drop for some reason the jack would fail the jack stands will still catch it and these are some heavy duty way too much for this weight of this vehicle so remember as you drop it back on the jack stands recheck they're not gonna drop in the same exact spots okay I'm gonna show you something that actually the car moved a little bit on the rear so this used to be you can see this used to be in the center the jack this guy used to be right here so it moved maybe an inch so I'm gonna no biggie I'm gonna jack up the rear and just position reposition the jack stands in the rear and this is it I'm gonna put this five speed on the six speed aside I'm gonna compare all right guys let's lay it again all right let's compare the two now this one is a little bit higher so to you this one in reality it should be a little bit smaller because you're looking at it closer but look how maybe like this look how much wider the six speed is compared to the five speed length wise six speed I would say is about what's a little bit longer actually let's let's measure this all right length five speed 32 and a half six speed 35 32 and a half 35 how many okay I'm gonna go around again okay the casing 10 and a half six feet so right about here eight seven and a half eight let's see Midway nine seven and then the S nine approach should not count the break the brackets on the side over here so so the bolts that is six seven compared to what was it eight and a half nearly nine yeah so that's not really the main reason why these five speed suck suck okay you put 300 horses on your WRX or whatever and you're you know for a week it's gonna be good so under this extra torque that your engine is now producing this transmission actually the casing twists and with the casing the inside gears all the bearings they're not true to each other for those split seconds you know that you're you know let's say switching gears launching accelerating especially in first maybe second gear you know so that's why and there's no way in hell that this transmission would take 400 wheel horses that's what this car is gonna have not even for a day we'll probably break during the tune right so here you can see what I was talking about see you the slave cylinder pushes this fork this way and this comes forward right and that pushes the pressure plate in this you have a pin here no imagine there was you know there's the bearing the throat bearing and you can hear the air in the slave cylinder so this will come this way and this will pull when you engage the clutch pull on the or when you disengage when you press in the clutch when you disengage the clutch this will pull and to take this out you need to undo this ellen nut here and there is a 10 oh yeah you put a long 10 mil bolt in and you can pull this pin out and that's how you remove the fork and then you can actually remove the engine because the throat bearing will stay on the pressure plate so this is necessary you need to remove this pin this needs a little cleaning also just notice that this sensor is damaged and also this needs to be replaced so there it is that's it guys I hope this is helping you out you're learning something tomorrow well next video we're differential see you soon
