This is a Front and Rear differential service, NOT Center Diff. Center diff was a typo. The center diff is inside of the automatic transmission and serviced when the ATF (automatic transmission fluid) is replaced. Sorry for any mix-up or confusion.

@MrSubaru1387 3 жыл бұрын

@@williamperri3437 front diff is part of the transmission. Changed as an assembly. No one I know splits them and replaces just the front diff. Could be a CV axle or wheel bearing. Rarely do I see diff issues, unless they ran it low or out of gear oil. Check the dipstick on passenger side marked diff. Yellow stick, under air box, near firewall.

@@MrSubaru1387 Mr. Subaru, @MrSubaru1387 Mr. Subaru, I like to open this by sharing with you that I am extremely new at this mechanics stuff SO if you could please excuse any seemingly Ignorance on my part... that would be appreciated and quite cool. I have a couple of questions here. One is what are the tools, sizes and torch numbers used for both the front and rear differential jobs and for dropping the pan, moving the other parts over( that you mentioned in your video)and changing out the transmission Filter and fluid on my 2001 SUBARU LEGACY OUTBACK 2.5 LITER AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. MY SECOND QUESTION IS WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD ÇÀUSÈ A ETCHED CIRCULAR PATTERN AT THE TIP END OF MY DIFFERENTIAL DIP STICK‽

@Noxious922 Жыл бұрын

I thought center diffs are only found on 5 speed manuals transmissions hmmm.. I have a 2001 2.5rs that has whining coming from the gear box that has gotten louder. Also binds up and clicks in parking lots. Haven't changed the oil since I got it 2 years ago.. It's got 180k miles.. Praying it just needs oil.. Otherwise I'll need to swap in a new center diff.

Great tutorial; no long-winded BS editorials. My 2 cents: When servicing the rear differential, make sure to loosen the fill plug first before you remove the drain plug; if you drain the fluid and then learn you aren't able to refill the differential, you will be screwed.

@thundergun15 5 жыл бұрын

Yeah definitely smart idea if you live somewhere that gets rust which you mostly do with a subaru

@itftcomputers 4 жыл бұрын

I think he removed the fill plug first, which is a smart enough to let the air in and this way it would drain quicker as well. What he didn't do is didn't remove the dipstick before removing the drain plug up front - try it next time -)

Just a tip that might make things easier. In hard to fill instances (such as the rear diff on this) I've found that using an outboard motor lower unit fill pump comes in QUITE handy! It's basically just a plastic hand pump that screws onto your oil bottle, and has a pickup tube down inside and a short length of hose on the discharge end. I think it was like $12 at Wal-Mart.

Ya, they are relaxing to watch for sure. It'll probably cost just as much to borrow the tools as having to take it in for service but thank you for mentioning it. I took it to Subaru today because of a clunking sound coming from my front passenger side and googled and googled. It only starts up once I've driven it for awhile and it's warm and only when making hard turns like a U-turn. Some forums I read said it's the differential fluid that needs to be replaced. Does that sound right? Subaru replaced the inner CV boots since they were torn and that's what I originally thought was the clunking sound so I have an appointment with Subaru next Thursday. Thank you for any input from Northern California. I really appreciate it.

I love how you keep it real.. it's uncomplicated and suited for all levels of expertise. Even I, the absolute novice has found confidence in taking on these D.I.Y's . I just purchased this car with 218,000 miles on it.. and was hoping for some input on this. On checking the front differential fluid level on my 2001 Subaru legacy outback 2.5 liter automatic transmission, I noticed an etched circular swirly pattern that was slightly cut into the end of the dip stick. I'm so new at this and feel kinda... ???? . One thought is that the dipstick wasn't replaced correctly at one time. An so far,, that's all I got.. There doesn't seem to be any current problems at this time but when I gather up the courage to change the gear oil out, I will be checking on the condition of the extracted fluid. If anybody has another idea on what could of caused this etched circular pattern, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jae

Hi Mr. Subaru - with your outstanding video I changed my front (and rear) differential oil in my 2010 manual transmission Outback. Question for you on the design of the transmission case. Hopefully I word it correctly but after doing this service I googled some pictures of what the internals of a Subaru manual transmission looks like. After looking at the pictures I am confused by something: the oil lubricates both the front differential and the transmission itself. Looking at the pictures it looks like the front differential "compartment" is "sealed" off from the portion of the entire housing that the transmission gears are located in - how does the fluid from this from "compartment" that the differential is in "migrate" to the main gears of the transmission? Looking at the pictures they really do look like two sealed "compartments" - the portion with the front differential and the portion with the two main shafts of the transmission.....

@MrSubaru1387 5 жыл бұрын

Automatic transmission and CVT the front diff is sealed off from the transmission. Manual transmission front diff is part of the transmission and they share the same gear oil. You pull the drain on a manual, you drain the entire transmission.

@michaelmayo7987 6 жыл бұрын

Notice alot of these Subaru differential fluid change tutorials don't show the use of thread sealant on the plugs. This may be called for in the repair manual. I neglected to do this on my 2010 Forester at its previous differential fluid change, and when I looked at it recently, noticed that it had a slow leak from the drain plug, which was last tightened to its proper torque.

Using the impact was a bad idea.. I suppose you've rounded out the square drive in the plug? May have to weld a nut to the plug to remove it. If extremely damaged, you may have to replace the rear diff cover.

It's not rounded but I don't see to of gotten enough torque to undo it. I'm wimping out and taking it into SuperRepair tomorrow change the fluids and diagnose the torque binding issue. @@MrSubaru1387

Any thought or recommendation on conventional vs. synthetic gear oil? I did this job on my wife's 08 Outback with conventional valvoline 80/90 gear oil 2 years ago. I just acquired a 2011 outback with ~70,000 miles. Planning to do this next as I am not sure if it has been done yet.

So.. through the dipstick, you are checking the level of both the center AND rear diffs?

Is there a part number for the front drain plugs crush washer? Or will a generic work? If so, what size? Thanks!

If you way overfill these differentials and they heat up will the gear oil boil up and out the vent tube?

What's the difference between Differential and transmission fluid? I need help because I don't know how to select the right one. I would like to replace both fluids Transmission and Differential. Thank you !!

I have an 02 outback is the front and rear diff fluid the same. I am guessing 75w-90 and if so does it need limited slip fluid added? I don’t have a manual to mine.
