After 15K miles, clutch judder seems to be worse than when new.

Has anybody managed to get their dealer to replace the cluch under warranty?

yep..........after 30000 miles

I have seen many post's on here of people getting it done on the warranty. I think there might be a general milage point were they delcine to replace, which might be about 15-20K (not to sure, so don't quote me) so I would get it down to the dealer and complain asap.

30K, see I did say don't quote me.:rolleyes:

Got my clutch changed on my last scooby at 18K no problem

Yup. No problem. 22k ish I think.

Im not sure if the clutch is now covered on the new shape, it was on the old shape but as its classed as a wear and tear item.....

Tony:D

Yep, at 2.5yrs, 25k miles on a MY98.

If the dealer won't put the claim into Subaru then try another dealer.

I don't care whether it's classed as a 'wear and tear' item or not. If the brakes, for example, went after an unusually short time, then there's a fault, and they would have to be replaced (I had new disks and pads on my '98 at 23k)

Obviously there are limits, beyond which you'll never get the work done under warranty, but if you can show other cars that have had the work done then really haven't got a leg to stand on. Especially at such low mileage.

As suggested, try another dealer. Sounds like they just can't be bothered.

Josh

yep, I had mine replaced twice.. once at 7500 miles and the next one at 21000.

Jim :D

had mine replaced at around 22,000, starting to judder again at 28,000..... back to the dealer me thinks!!

Just had mine done 3 weeks ago at 18K miles. I didn't even ask for a new one, they just told me that they would like to replace it once I mentioned I had a slight judder. (Mill Lane- Basingstoke)

Steve

Yip, I got a P1 W reg, 25K on the clock, and got mine changed no problems at all

I've got w reg P1 and looking at induction kits...any experience with any types mate?

Sounds hopeful.........I will be on the phone tomorrow!

Will they claim wear & tear if I say that it has got worse over the last year?

Does a new clutch fix the problem?

Why is it worse from cold?

Tony

the first owner must have abused it :D LOL

Just had mine replaced under warranty (MY01) after 34000miles.

Feels like a new car :D

Thought clutch judder came as standard especially when cold. On the SIDC FAQs they suggest a fast start, as if you are doing a 0-60 sprint and slip the clutch a bit. This cleans something or other - anyway works for me
John MY98

got mine done at about 25000 miles and replaced with the p1 model still judders now and again on cold mornings but a i can live with it.
Before it was horrendous trying to pull away from junctions in second was impossible i would have to stop at every junction wether there was taffic or not so i could get a reasonable start wihout looking and sounding like a complete knob.
by the way Beechdale were very good pushing for the replacement from Subaru as it was out of warranty
