Hi Guys

I have a MY03 STI PPP which has now been 3600 miles, the clutch smells like it is slipping when ever i use reverse with a few revs on ie backing up a bank. Our pull away forward in the same way. I'm not riding the clutch and the smell soon clears all the same it stinks.
Anybody else got this problem???????

had to pop into my local dealer yesterday and got chatting about the warranty on my dutch sourced EU MY03 WRX and he mentioned to me that clutches are the most common warranty claims on all new WRX's and Sti's.

Very common. My sons STi7 did it when new and his 8 also but not as bad. It should disappear eventually. There have been threads on this before.
