Cool vid. Just a tip on knocking the pin out - shift into first, or 5th (can;t remember which), that rotates the selector shaft enough so you can hit the small pin out with a straight shot from underneath!

The way yours was at the first is how mine was years ago, so today is when i found out while in town, it gets so bad i couldnt go in 1st or 2nd, so you can imagine how fun that was for 15 miles until i did make it home. I know this is an older video now but hopefully a life saver for me, thank you for making it!

I have searched through a lot of Videos for something with clear pics of what needed to be done for this and this is very well done. I normally just go, take shit apart and work through anything that pops up (have worked on everything from Helicopters to bicycles) but, thought, let me give a look for accomplishing this and glad I found this video. Well done.

i would just like to point out for anyone doing this job to reinstall the part correctly as the way it was intended, these guys installed it upside down, and that ear with the circle is for the return to center spring that was missing on this forester. the spring connects to this pivot and the plate he took off in the beginning, so because he put it on upside down, if he had a spring to reinstall, it wouldnt do any good.

I'm about to do this with my impreza 04. Don't think my coupler is loose but it definitely rotates around the shaft where the pin goes through. Either the inner pin fell out...or the hole where the pin goes is loose and a new pin will fix the problem, i hope....also just replacing all the shifter bushings while im in there. Thanks for your vid! Was super helpful. Doesn't seem too bad of a job.

Just did this on my 05 Legacy GT, and for me the pin wasn’t the problem. It was the bolt you took out after the pin. But after fighting with it enough I got it to back out and now the shifter feels brand new.

Top video. Easy to follow! Keep up the good work fellas!

Start the pin always partially makes it easier to hammer home when under the vehicle.

Cheers boys, great tutorial and great tips and tricks in there as well. Tbh I didn't know about the screw driver trick to start the pin off (saved me a headache haha).

Awesome video Just stuck on the pin part hammering it out.

Thank you guys, y'all the best! More content please 🔥👏🏾

It’s da boys, working on da car.

my shifter got messed up today during lunch time when I was shifting into third..My car is from MN and after seeing your U joint, I'm absolutely terrified of how mine will look lol

thanks for this dude. do you recall the size of the hex key you used to pop the pin out? this seems pretty straightforward but that's the only piece i can see getting stuck on.

For the pins use a c clamp, something that fits inside the hole, and a socket

Awesome video! Keep up the good work

Good job man

Word of advice, you have a claw hammer. Claw hammers have no weight and ment for wood. Get yourself a nice bullpean hammer and itll do you wonders.

...I think those roll pins are made in 2 pieces....and you knock the big one in first....then add the small one which expands the larger one......

Olvidaron el resorte y la junta la pusieron con la oreja para el resorte hacia arriba, cuando deberia ir hacia abajo, pero hicieron muy bien la extracción del pin y todo lo demás.

Keep up the good work man!

great video, super helpful man!

excellent vid mate

Big help. Thanks bro

You seem to be missing the "Return Spring " to reduce play when in gear.Should go between the two small holes =accross the rubber.Maybe some models are not stock with the spring . Whorthwhile checking against model:parts.subaru.com/a/Subaru__/49244132__6027006/MANUAL-GEAR-SHIFT-SYSTEM/B11-350-01.html

Well done! Great video. Keep it up man

im sorry to say this, but there is supposed to be a spring between the plate on the big round bushing and the shifter linkage. And you put the shifter linkage upside down. There is a hole on the plate on the round bushing and one on the shifter linkage

great vid !

Nice video bro keep it up. Subscribed

can you do an automatic forester

Is the shift linkage really just stuck on? I've successfully removed the pin but the linkage won't move at all, not even with the help of a hammer.

will this fix gears that feel impossible to shift into?

Where are your friend now bro how are they

What tool did you use to start hammering the roll pin in? because I am having lots of trouble trying to put the tool pin back in. Thanks i would be very heat full if you would answer my question and if you could give me the linked to we’re you bought it to thanks

where is the link for the part. or maybe just a number?

K I'm almost done but I can't get the damn roll pin back in. It won't start, and if I do get it started, how will I know it's aligned properly with the other hole? Ugghh so frustrating

if that part wasn't the issue you probably need to change other bushings inside your shifter console , and that other part right next to the one you changed ! i'm doing this next month. hopefully i won't end up Parting-out the car lel

You forgot the return Spring bro

Yarr

That’ll teach you buggers in the USA for driving a manual! This is America goddamnit- drive the automatics :-) Although the automatic on my ex H6 outback was from the 70s - a four-speed! (bloody SIRI)

Appreviate your commentary and explaining in the video. So many repair videos are filmed it seems by people who cant talk or are afraid that their voice shall be heard on youtube.

CHOCK YOUR WHEELS!
