BlueLegacy

Hello there,
My wife's shopping/dog wagon is immobile.

2005 Legacy 167000 miles, new stainless exhaust, new brakes, All new Goodyear tyres, no rust, smooth and economical. Noise from transmission then pedal to the floor. Unable to disengage clutch; with my limited knowledge, I suspect release bearing or pressure plate, so the clutch system needs replacing.

I have quotes of £700 complete from trusted local garage which I have accepted. Nevertheless, I questioned Subaru and have finally had confirmation that there is a Dual mass flywheel; my local garage is unable to source a DMF from GSF:smile: or Eurocarparts :sad:, they say their only other option is Subaru....... £2007+ vat..... £2408 just for a flywheel!!

There is no way I am paying that. So they refuse to investigate the clutch flywheel now.

We have already waited three weeks and nobody wants the job or can help with any advice on whether to consider reusing the DMF once examined or any experiences sourcing a cheaper quality part.

Thanks very much

Don Clark

There appears to be two DM Flywheels listed for a 2005 UK Legacy depending upon model
12345AA002 or 12345AA010

We have just collected or Legacy from main dealer in Devon with 12months MOT. My wife says everything feels like a new car which is "weird". I've yet to drive it.

Parts included flywheel 12342AA061
Clutch cover
Clutch disc
Release bearing
Gearbox nosecone
Labour 6.5 hrs

Apparently the old DMF wasn't too bad!!

Let's hope no major outlay for a couple of years.
