- OE number: 38913-AA230/38913AA230.
Problem detected: Clanking from centre diff area in low speed.
No special tools required.
Medium size pry bar is a must for this job.
Always lift whole vehicle for this job.
Do not do this job if you are a beginner in car repair, things can go bad in this specific work.
Vehicle in the video: Subaru outback boxer diesel 2.0 2016. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
U made it look easy...tempting me to try it on my own...thought I'm afraid I'll head in to some unexpected issue and be left half job done. I myself had replaced too the cv axle thinking it was the problem..yet..
Thank you for the compliment 🙏 If you have done the CV axle yourself I think you can do this job too. Lift the whole vehicle is a must. Cheers
Excellent presentation. Thanks. One thought. Prior to removing drain plug, remove fill plug. Not being able to remove fill plug after having drained a transmission complicates life. My case was a semi-sealed automatic transmission.
Thank you so much. But this one didn't have a fill plug, its manual transmission is fitted with dipstick which is used for filling also. (It's visible in the final portion of the video)
@@MechanicAnoop Oops. I need to be more patient and watch until end of video before putting my foot into my mouth with foolish statement. I apologize.
A real good one baby ❤❤👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Take care 😘
Thanks wife♥️🫂
What are you spraying on the casing after you've cleaned it off? And what kind of gasket paste did you use?
Brake cleaner. RTV silicone gasket paste black colour.
I'm having similar problem on 2010 subaru outback mt where feels like the front end is welded diff at slow speeds and locks up around corners... I'm starting to think it's the vc..... I did a clutch on the car and notices cv alxes need to be replaced did that now I'm having this lock up issue😮
I guess it's the VC. It won't last more than 100,000 km most cases.
use the same shims ? did you replace any other bearings ? why all the hammering ?
Yes Same. It's not hammer, It's called as mallet.
What is the cause why u replace the coupling sir?
Clunking noise in low speed, (speed of parking)
I need one of these, Mine's starting to clunk tight turns park speed. Replaced front cv shafts but still clunks, Anyway good content i know now what's the problem.👍
I'm happy that it helped you. This Subaru had the same issue, Owner changed CV axles in vain but eventually viscous coupling solved the issue.
Did anyone else notice no gasket or rtv on reassembly? Its gonna leak like a seive. And yes, also all the hammering looks like something not right.
Look again slowly, the gasket you can see(black colour) it is not hammer It's mallet, it was because of the bearing fitting.
