Just off the phone with him and ended up discussing clutches due to a few upgrades don't THINK he deals in them but better getting it from the horses mouth. I have one at the minute but due to upgrades don't think it's going to stick it but at the moment seems spot on.

500/500 I have an issue with my clutch, I have a stage 2 competition clutch fitted now I returned from holiday went to start the car and the pedal stayed on the floor, I can pull it up and down with my hand (no pressure being returned through the clutch) but if I pump the clutch the pedal goes hard there is no fluid under the car and have been told it’s the clutch but now also been told it could be my slave cylinder.

perhaps release bearing related or as you say slave cylinder related.

Don't blame the clutch yet sounds more like a cylinder problem reach for the clutch fork and see has it returned to the front. (of the car as such)
Bleeding it MIGHT solve your problem but it hasn't done it for no reason.

could I check the clutch fork or would the gearbox need to come off for that? The rac guy could move the cylinder forward and back when he checked the car but the guy who looks after my car is adamant it’s my clutch.

If the slave cylinder pin is moving with no resistance then it's not the clutch. When you do pump the peddle and get a peddle will the car go into gear. Pull the handbrake on good and tight or try for 5th or 6th just in case
The slave cylinder is on top of the gearbox under the intercooler reaching from the passenger side. The fork is up against it.
You need to push the end of the fork right forward to check the travel on the pin. It's hard to explain.

the rac guy and the mechanic could move something under where the top mount inter cooler used to sit so would that be the cylinder? I can push the pedal down and pull it up without any resistance but if I pump the pedal it goes solid until they moved something in the engine bay then it went limp again (the pedal) so to speak!!

If you pump the pedal till you get a pedal can you get the car in gear with the engine running.

not sure to be honest as when we pumped the pedal until it went solid it was always in the up position and couldn’t press the clutch down as it was solid and it only went down when they moved something under the bonnet.

Was away there if I was there it would be easily diagnosed but as said its very difficult not being there to diagnose. The car needs to be running and go into gear not stopped but if the pedal is going completely solid it isn't looking good.

You need to see how much travel you have on the end of the fork and whether the slave cylinder is being pushed back by the clutch fork but as said you need two people really. What won't it start can you not get the clutch down far enough or is the battery flat.

I think the cylinder is being pushed out but not 100% and the battery is flat mate another thing to deal with.

You need someone who knows the score with Subaru's to diagnose the problem at the scene. You could try with a pry bar to carefully disengage the clutch from the clutch fork area but you'd still need to know the feel of it.

If the clutch pedal is rock hard with no travel at all after pumping it up I think you would have a clutch problem. After looking at that if you can disengage the clutch manually I would say get someone to bleed it for you but as said before if it was feasible to inspect it wouldn't take long to determine the problem.
