Anyone have a link for all the torque specs, looking around the web but coming with all kinds of different numbers.

Small pin switch for the 2015+ models so please purchase the 2015 version to make sure it's right.

First off, I would like to thank @Sparc and @killadawg for their contributions to NASIOC and the VA chassis. I'm working on this swap on my 17 WRX using a 16 STI donor.

It can't be stated enough how important it is to have a transmission jack and a helper or two. While installing the STI transmission not only do you need to rotate the crankshaft by putting a 22mm socket on the bolt of the harmonic balancer, but, being able to lift the engine with a cherry picker helps with getting the engine and transmission to align too. Just make sure you use both attachment points with the cherry picker. There is one in front of the engine on the driver's side and one on the back of the engine on the passenger side.

I choose to use the donor STI's clutch master along with the slave as it all came together with what I purchased. I am curious if any of the others who have completed this project can recall what they did to properly bleed the clutch hydraulic system? I'm all done on my project except for getting a good bleed on the clutch hydraulics. I can shift into all gears with the engine off, but can't shift into any gears with the engine running. The car is still on jack stands and I can start it in 4th gear.

I don't have a DCCD controller yet, but plan on putting in the MAP controller. I used the adapter from Iwire for my harness merge. Other than that all the parts in my swap are factory stock.

Thanks again for the help everyone.

As others have said, thank you to everyone who posted here. This thread was a plethora of helpful information.

So, I'll preface with saying this is not my first trans swap. Have had the trans in and out of my BRZ multiple times. I'm used to all the particulars of the job. Only difference here for me were front axles and installing a twin disc clutch.

Now, onto my issue

So I got everything back together and I believe something is pinched. Starter will attempt to spin the flywheel, but it is struggling immensely. Putting a breaker bar on the crank pulley, I cannot get it to spin. It's seized for sure.

My best speculation is that the trans input shaft is hung up on the second disc. The trans was hard to get together the last 1/4". I know this means you need to spin the crank to line up the splines, but while I was connecting the trans, I made sure i was inserted in the splines by manually cranking the car with a breaker bar and watching to see the trans output shaft spin (it did easily). I used the spline tool when installing the clutch to make sure the teeth of both discs were lined up. So, I figured, well I'm inserted properly in the first disc, must be something just being a pain (wouldn't be the first time).

I'm going to pull the starter first to confirm that's not the problem. Assuming it's not, which I don't believe it to be, I plan to pull the trans back out which is unfortunate, but the only clear path to fixing the problem. When everything is off, I'll inspect the PP and clutch assembly, confirm the teeth are still aligned, look for wear marks on PP & BH, etc.

Clutch is an Exedy multi-hyper twin disc clutch, part #FM022SDF.

Does anyone have ANY input on anything else I may need to look out for, or possible causes?

I've been racking my brain all night and morning on what it could be...Besides this issue, this was probably my cleanest install ever...had 99% of tools I needed, and had very little hang ups throughout the entire process.

Maybe the nose didn't insert cleanly into the pilot bearing? Idk...

Either way, I'm gonna end my plea for help here.

Any/all suggestions are appreciated and welcomed. I'll keep you all updated on any progress.

OK, so I tore apart the car last night. As soon as I released the bolts from the trans, it spread back about 1/4", crank freed up. Something was definitely pinched.

Now, I can't get the trans off the engine. As I originally speculated, I believe I'm hung up on the second disc. I think I "pressed" it onto the spline slightly misaligned.

Gonna have my brother help me try and pry it off tonight. Otherwise, I already ordered some material to make some jack bolts and push the trans off the engine.

Plan Z will be removing the engine from the car with the trans entirely. Obviously not my preferred method, but an option.

I'll keep you all posted.

OK, after a bit of research, seems like I need to disconnect the shift fork first to release the trans. Makes sense. Forgive me, first pull type TOB I've ever had to deal with.

I'll post back.

TOB was not the issue. I was absolutely misaligned on one of the discs. Input shaft was pressed into the disc splines. F'ing amateur move.

Had to unbolt the pressure plate through the clutch fork hole. Pulled the trans off with the PP and discs still on. Then I had to cut the seized disc . RIP beautiful twin disc.

What a hard, sad lesson....

Either way, will have the car put back together in the next day or so with stocker clutch. I'll post back.

Well, stock clutch is in, car is back together and runs mint.

I’m running the DCCD Pro Spiider Kit that work with the 2015+ stock control.

Have only test drove it once so far. All I can say is awesome.

Can’t wait to get more miles on it. I’ll post an update at a later date.
