I was always “helping” my dad fix things asking 1000 questions…that’s why I loved him so much. Great video btw.
I've watched a few videos on how to replace these, but yours is by far the most entertaining. If I could love this video I would.
Great video Brian, as always. I appreciate all the hard work that you put into your videos. You make making videos look easy between breaking your ribs and cracking jokes. Keep the videos coming on the subaru.
I love this video! You commentary is hilarious. You made this very simple! Thanks for the video
Besides making great vids...clear views, informative and articulate descriptions on everything...I can tell that ur a fantastic dad :-)
i appreciate you making this video!
"A lot of things are things are fun to watch to strip, bolts are not on of them" Very nice.
Awesome video!!!
You make it look so easy, thanks for the video!
Welcome!
I had the same problem on my wrx thank u buddy!
love the explainations
No angry trolls were injured in the making of this video.
Great Video!
This movie looks familiar. I also bought Anchor brand transmission mounts for a Japanese import car, just like you. I also had fitment problems and the holes didn't quite line up, just like you. Mounts worked fine at first. Now they are all broken and I can feel the transmission moving with each gear shift. I regret using Anchor and have replaced them with factory OEM mounts. I hope your story turns out differently!
Ohh that lift is so nice!
Just did my 02 forester transmission, front differential was toast, got the whole car for 500$. Came here trying to figure out what that rubber puck underneath was for. Doesn't make any contact. Now I can see it's sort of a failsafe. Turns out my mount was in the same condition as yours, makes me wonder if that was the whole issue before I got it. Grinding from the front diff non stop bearings were sooo bad. Thanks for showing your work! Now I can put this together with confidence knowing what that puck does
Very nice! My only critique is SAFETY GLASSES! lol - Keep up the great work!
While attempting to change the mount in my 2000 Outback I was having a hard time getting the Duralast part I bought to fit. By that I mean it was impossible. The bolt holes didn't line up. I took it back and got the anchor part like the one in the video. That part also did not fit. I went back to Advance and told the employee. After he thought for a minute he decided to look up a part for a '99 Outback. He said that if the car was manufactured after June of 1999 then it could be called a 2000 model. One thing I noticed was that the two parts that didn't fit only had 3 bolt studs, while the original part had 4. Turns out the' 99 mount has 4 bolt studs. I haven't gotten the part yet but I am feeling hopeful. If I remember tomorrow when the part gets here I will confirm whether or not it fits. Hopefully this helps anyone who might be having a similar problem.
You probably don't hear this that much but man, is that clean. Around here, there is rust everywhere. Every piece of sheet metal that isn't treated has rust. I told myself when my kid got a truck I'd go to a less salty state to get it, but we found a deal here and everything underneath is covered in surface rust. Maybe next truck when the budget is more than $1000. LOL,
Soooo, did this end up fixing your issue? I didn't see a follow up video and am quite curious as the 4EAT in my '03 Impreza also does exactly what you describe
Awesome fix and also probably a pain to to find the issue. How does she drive after?
Thank you buddy,I have this same problem
Hey Brian great video! Have you ever considered showing the before and after is like in the car for a video?
Like, if there is a problem show it to us then fix it then show us the result?
id venture to say he shows a problem, fixes it, and then shows the result. :)
No video of the drive after!? Vids that end too soon :( I was waiting to hear your laughter as you drove the car hahaha
Best intro ever!
Thanks man! I expected some flack for Subaru abuse, but that's the core mission for this car. It old, it was rough when I bought it- so I could make videos on it, with it, and be rough with it so I have things to fix!
Just like my first gen legacy wagon!The other day I came out of Safeway to find a couple waiting for me because their car door got caught in the wind and put a good dent in the side.I asked them if their new SUV was all right.They said it was so I said do not worry about it this is my River rat I use to beat up getting to my rivers.I thought they were going to start crying.They were not ready for that.Happy thanksgiving to your family!
I was installing a new exhaust system in my outback and did a rattle check (still have all heat shields under the car) and noticed the center bolt on trans mount floats a tad when I smack my cat section. Ended up here lol hopefully this is my gremlin for roughness at stops and like you said, granted mine is NA, can’t get on it & gotta wait until you can feel it picking up to ease back or get into it.
was ur car making the clunking noise all the time u give it gas? im trying to figure out if this is why my 05 rs clunks when i give it gas from a stop only sounds like somthing metal hitting rubber 3/4 times just behind the center console gets harder the more gas i give just got it out the local shop and they seem to think its my 2nd cat tho that makes a more tin rattle noise witch iv heard any ideas would be great
Hi Brian, Happy Thanksgiving. Love your Vids! I know you have a lot Suby experience. I have a 2004 Sti with 90,000 mi on it. I have a loud enough to hear "Pop" or "Clack" that sounds like end link noise... but it's not. Also could be rear strut cluck, but its not. I already installed and re-tourqued all wheel bearing nuts, which it sounds like too, but its not. The noise can comes from the right or left rear, and its easy to replicate by driving slowly in a low gear and gently rocking the throttle on and off. It doesn't happen so much hitting a bump, it's not a loud bang with hard acceleration or shifting, just mostly on and off mild throttle. Without the sound system off it's easy to hear. Under the car the only thing that makes any noise at all with a prybar is the rear subframe outrigger bushings, which seem like they could be a throttle on and off culprit, but it doesn't sound the same as when inside the car. Do you think new outrigger bushings are what it is, or maybe something else? Have you run into this before?
Did you find it? I’ve got a noise like that sounds like passenger side floorboard. Replaced struts lower control arm sway bar links tie rod ends and one cv axle.
Still there. Comes and goes.
I have a 2010 Subaru forester 2.5 ej253 automatic. What would cause the center stud to snap off at the base . ? I’m going to replace it but was curious. My front passenger mount was ripped in half too. I put in group N mount up front . Thanks I’m advance
Wish I had a lift… great video
Hello Brian , just wondering if this fix your problema ? Thanks buddy
I was wondering if maybe you should ask Santa for some safety glasses.
At least for the kid, who also has to breathe all that dust!
HI BRIAN, I AM SO HAPPY TO FIND A MASTER SUBARU MECHANIC LIKE YOURSELF. I LIVE IN FORT COLLINS COLORADSO AND WANTED TO ASK IF YOU REBUILD 2,5 DOHC LTR ENGINES AND INSTALLATION??????
that center bolt that looks like a rubber castle nut is it supposed to be torqued down and what is the purpose of it ? thanks
Where did you get that rubber bushing, been looking and looking and can't find it.
Would you be able to push the trans up by hand if the mount was bad.
I have one question when taking off foot flat and changing gears after it changes it dies the bang only after it changes
What socket sz did you use for this job?
Just replaced mine yesterday. Only issue, the nut that limits travel in the event of mount failure has turned to mush, so have to order a new one at dealer. Till then I shoved in a ford shock mount.
I wish UA-cam was like real life. I attempted this and the nut rounded. New England problems :/
Hey Brian,
Thank you for the video. I just replaced my transmission mount and this video was extremely helpful. Couple of questions for you... I did this with hand tools and a torque wrench. Do you know how much torque I should be using on the bolts for the mount and the cross member? I also replaced the driveshaft and now the car bucks in first and second gear. I have an automatic transmission and changed the fluid so that looked fine. I'm not sure why it's bucking but it feels like it's coming from the back of the car and there's a less angry troll dancing on the driveshaft. Any help is much appreciated!
Check the u joints
No romping footage afterwards? :( Anyways great video Brian and keep up the good work!
Great back story there- listen to this! I'm a one man band who is so busy I live with a bad motor mount on my own car for like a year. HA! Dang, that sounded better in my head...... The rallying definitely happens- just never get it on camera. I play hard to balance the work hard- just try not to make the play time work time I guess. Great question/request though Jake. You'll see some snow rallying in the near future- promise.
Is this the same for a 2010 wrx?
what's the deal with that center bolt with the rubber bumper? why isn't it tight against the mount? on mine i can see where the bumper has contacted the metal above it, but i don't see any other evidence of a busted mount
Hey is there any way I can get in contact with you ?! I need advice. My motor just blew :(
Can you do a video on how to change the engine mounts?!?! PLEASSSSEEE!!! Thanks!
Sure. Sounds easy enough.
when I accelerate I hear a cracking sound and when I release the clutch. it shifts gears and drives perfectly and driver side
hey I just took my mount off and you have to be careful of the part you get Advance Auto and Orielys were do sure that it's was the right part but I had to bring it in to show mine has four bolts and the one that they sold me had three. Pull it off then order the part . 2001 Subaru Outback 2..5 Automatic
Is the big bolt on the mount, the one he referred to as the fail safe, supposed to tightly hold the shaft or the shaft should be given room to wiggle?
mine has that same gap. I have had a 'clink' when the car is under load and i was checking my mount out the other day
"...and I'll end up using zip ties..." I've found bread bag ties under my used subi haha
Cheap plastic zipties break after a couple of years. Nylon "Tywraps" cost 10 times as much money, but last for several decades.
You get what you pay for. "Tywraps" also have metal clips in them so you can get them much tighter as well.
hey brian quick question for ya my 99 subaru forester keeps throwing a check engine light and the code reads as a knock sensor i took off the sensor to find it was cracked so i stole one of my 98 forester parts car everything seemed good but code still has not disappeared ive cleared the code and it still pops back up any suggestions?
Reggie Cox Is it a knock sensor circuit code? if so make sure you have the correct sensor for the vehicle. even if they look the same doesnt always mean they are the same. if the sensor is good your gonna have to check the wiring from the sensor to the computer using an ohm meter. visual wiring inspection couldn't hurt.
Does this tie into what I refer to as classic Subaru "rattle"?
You weren't lying about that anchor mount. Mine wouldn't fit at all. I had to drill the holes larger in the mount and even then I could only force 3 bolts to go back in.
Pretty sure I have the same thing, I've got something underneath making noise over bumps and I've been chasing it for a year and I can't figure out what's loose. Trans mount is original 308,000. Bet it's destroyed.
I gave a like for the Simpsons analogy
my 99 Impreza outback sport has the same sound when I get on it I should probably check my mounts , well if it wasn't 29℉ outside right now
It took me a while to get to mine too. Good luck! and "O. H!"
you need a right front tire and an alignment
I've heard a few clunks but I get this vibration at idle goes away with higher RPM sounds like it's right under my seat I bet it's this
Did the RPMs go up when transitioning to a different gear? I have a Honda Civic that the RPMs go up just as it's going into 2nd and 3rd...and then SLAM. I've also learned to ease off right before it switches gears. It only seems to do it when it's under torque. I wonder if what I'm seeing in this video might be the same thing happening on the Civic....or maybe the trans/clutch is just going.
Scotty Da Q is it an automatic? if so most likely transmission replacement time
It is...thanks.
I HAVE A 1999 OUTVACK 2,5 DOHC WITH MANUEAL T6RANSMISSION RON KNIGHT
Victory!!!
All the pictures in this video had me laughing Brian; Especially the mouse in the trap! I rewinded about a dozen times laughing at that.
Amigo ese soporte de caja lo necesito me puedes ayudar a conseguirlo por favor
aint it supposed to have a catalytic converter right there? pretty sure my 01 forester does.
would this cause a vibration while accelerating?
Yes
Brian did you tighten the centre nut on the mounting ?.
Tam Couch yes. Then he backed it off a bit. I think because there's a rubber bushing. No need to be too tight
It looks like at 10.56 that the nut is still not been tightend.Brian loosened it off at 9.25 but it looks still loose at 10.56.
Tam Couch yeah, you're right, he didn't go back and tighten it anymore. But like I stated, you don't want that one too tight. If you notice, the rubber bushing is still somewhat "sandwiched" or squashed. Whenever there's a rubber bushing involved, these bolts or nuts are not supposed to be driven down.
The whole reason he went back & loosened it was because he noticed he over tightened it originally.
I bet that's fun to do on the ground.
I'd like to weigh in on the "if you're a good mechanic...." comment. lol PERSONALLY, my aspirations isn't too be a good mechanic, although I want to be a good mechanic lol if that makes any sense... let me elaborate. It's definitely beneficial to be a good mechanic(good with your hands, able to spot MECHANICAL issues). That will definitely help your career no doubt about it. However I think if you've even thought about making auto repair a career, then you should undoubtedly already have great mechanical aptitude and coordination. My aspiration is to become a great TECHNICIAN. My mechanical skills supplement that. They go hand -in-hand no doubt. If I HAD TO take my car in, and let someone else do something to it, I would want a certified TECHNICIAN on the job, rather than a "good mechanic"...... does that make sense? That's not pretentious is it?
A buddy of mine actually made a copy of the Rallitek "soft" bushing insert (He's not selling them, don't worry) but he made them for a small couple people and been meaning to get mine in. Told it helps with the drivetrain thrash from the transmission. Well anywho, I've actually got more rust down there than what I saw on yours and mines only a 2011 Legacy. Would you suggest I buy hardware for everything or just get the three main nuts in the middle? Thanks for the video btw. I think I'm gonna see if my buddy can do this in his shop instead of me laying on the frozen ground and lobster crawling on my shoulder blades around under the car.
Last time I bought the Anchor brand motor mounts........was the last time. Off shore junk close to what you removed.
What, no link to the new mount?...Awww
nah it's just briansmobile1 under there hitting it with a hammer :)
Tough cars- I know for the rocks I've hit off road.
so how was it after you got it fix ?
reaction vid would be nice, if it worked. Well it'd be nice to watch if it didnt either lol.
Rabbits out flying... you have flying rabbits where you live? Hare planes?
You dont want to cross thread? dont put it in with a power tool... lol
I know that clunk, should get in there and change all those mounts on my VW, or just leave it for a month and get the garage to do it with the service. Will stop that clunk on less than gentle pull offs.
1:25 crazy..
There is an easier way to 'fix' this. Add a rubber bushing to the center bolt, the one with about an inch of movement when you lift the trans.
I did this on a '99 with too much rust to get the mount off, it felt like a brand new mount, even 50k miles later.
I did the same thing to another '99 I bought, same deal, feels like i installed a brand new mount.
Takes all of 5 minutes to do, no lift or jacking involved.
Ha Ha Ha Your Are Funny Manzzz
where's the Metabo!?!?!?
In a first time subi owner, put alot into my '03 outback. Including me doing a head gasket change. anyway, I get my parts from RockAuto, I paid $26 for a tyranny mount!
AleluYAH
What's for dinner?
Dealer charged me $600 fyi
What’s for dinner.?
The pictures that keep popping up are pretty annoying..
