Just bought a type Ra STI limited edition 99.

Got two problems:

1 To much play in gear stick when in gear.

2 Clutch pedel stayed fully in depressed position and required manually pulling back up and since then i struggle to find any gear without force .
When in idle and clutch is pressed fully down in gear I can hear a wheering noise and smell burning clutch aswell as smoke ??

Only had the car 1 hr so took back to dealer and his machanics say its the clutch which needs replacing and some kind of knuckle joint in gear linkage thats broke away ,so booked in for next week.

Not sure I totally agree as there is no loss in friction on clutch plate?


Can you let me know the correct clutch part number so i can make sure they order the right one!!

Cheers all

sticking clutch pedal could be clutch return spring, a few people have had this problem when having new clutches put in, 911 has posted about this before i think.
However if it has been playing up for a while and the car has been test driven by others at the garage it could have caused more damage whilst it's being forced into gear.

Hope it gets fixed under warrenty, fix it properly with genuine OEM parts or money back i think, a problem like that does not just happen instantly.

Hi. Bought myself a WRX STI6 Type R V.Ltd about a month ago just after it had an engine rebuild, with a new clutch. Clutch pedal stuck in once just after i got the car. Same problem, had to pull the pedal out with my toes. Its only happened the once and had no probs since.

Could be the clutch master cylinder.

Is this a common fault ?
