You made this video just in time (for me)! I had this exact issue, down to that specific bearing on a 2009 Outback 5MT. Thanks for making the video. It is incredibly helpful to have a video run through instead of having to figure it all out on the fly, particularly the little things to look out for along the way.

Ahh yes, not a torque wrench in sight as well as impacting the casing bolts in a uneven pattern. Perfection 👌🏻

Nice work, enjoyed your video. I had the center diff go out on my 2000 Outback, and had a couple broken pieces end up jamming my 5 speed, making it un-shiftable. Fortunately, I was in a parking lot when it got jammed up and not buzzing down the freeway so no catastrophic damage happened. A transmission guy in my area pulled out the broken pieces and put a new center diff in, and she is back on the road now. Cost me a $1000 parts and labor. I saved on R and R since I did that part myself. The transmission doesn't look too hard to work on, maybe I'll take one on myself sometime. I would think you could use any 5 speed, more or less in your Forester, as long as the gearing matches the rear diff. Some people just take the rear differential plus transmission from the same car and that seems to be a way to go. The 2000 Outback I have, was kind of a one year different then the rest, but if you do both the transmission plus rear diff I think it will work on most any Subaru models. I could be wrong about that, but its the impression I got from my research.

I just realized I commented on this video a few weeks ago... damn my brain, I didn't even remember watching it before, I guess I watched you work twice haha. Twice as good a video the second time I guess!

2:43 that is part of the syncro system, the "brake" that stops the RPM difference. Whoever is doing the clutchless shifting on trans like this, even they don't hear the grind (syncro teeth), they are putting stress on this brake which is not designed for. when the brake start to slipp, you won't get in gear.

My 5 speed in my 2000 Outback had the center diff go bad... local transmission guy charged me 500 labor and was 500 for the new center diff. Works all good now, damn Subi! $1000 bucks later she's working great again.

Great video! I'm actually about to put my 5 speed back together so this video makes it less worrysome.

Great content bro i accually tear down my 5 speed tansmission yesterday i broke the 3rd gear but your videos guide me through the tear down appreciate it bro 🙏

[jeffsciv]

Thanks for the video - appreciate you sharing - I'm here just to learn about Subie M/Ts - I can tell you from my experience with my Kia, this doesn't work though - whenever you have a bad needle bearing, you need to change the races too - mine made noise again after just 700 km - I rebuilt again and replaced the full gearset (minus drive gears) sleeves, and bearings and fixed for good - bearings/races have a design life, and when one fails it's best to replace all of them or else the others will eventually fail and you'll never get the same lifespan as a fully rebuilt or new trans - ultimately it comes down to your budget, needs, and time when deciding to repair or fully rebuild

I always like to get all bolts started before any are tightened down!

[RichCowie]

Great vid, thanks for the info. Did you get to test the gearbox yet?

[JohnUllrey]

Thanks for finishing out this series on the 5-speed MT. Where are you buying your Subaru parts from?

[HeidiFegles]

It’s probably the flanged bearing on the pink. Shaft

[HeidiFegles]

That’s the bearing cage neither the inner or outer race

[timothywright]

What is that first gear past the washer and nut(with the straight cut gears) for?

[warrenspiteri-xh]

Hi i have a problem with the gear shaft, it cant trun on the both side just on one side. It cant turn on the fifth gear and the reverse.maybe someone can help me.thanks

[jccars]

does this happen to be the same 5 speed in the 2006 outback 2.5xt?

[legion]

Good job but next time use user manual you make some mistakes, i hope everytink is good. If you want type me i have lot a pictures when i make my Gearbox. But good for you now :)
