can back from the New Years eve SALSA bash at Ice-O-Bar at birmingham last night and when i accelerate in 4or5th gear the car pulls away then sounds as if i've still get my foot on the clutch!!! then it bites and starts to pull away again!!!

think the clutch is on its way out!!???
its done all but a few miles 74K! on a MY97 Turbo
so don't think its done bad, do you??

so
1. any advice on the sort/make of clutch i need (standard Subaru?)?
2. wot cost am i looking at?
3. can i get one fitted at a MrClutch sort of place?
4. is it a big job?


i know this may be in the wrong section but who reads the other forums?????? lol

Phil

 

hehe, first post this year

Just a thought Phil, you weren't on ice were you?

I'd go genuine scoob parts as a bare minimum and get the full kit including bearing rather than just the plate.

Yes it is quite a big job.

Personally I'd avoid the likes of mr clutch etc like the plague but that's just me

Best of luck, Bob

 

You do mean clutch and not CRUTCH eh Phil

Sounds like it's deffo on the way out unless there's any adjustment left.....I wouldn't trust a Mr Clutch type of place mate....they're often not as cheap.....surely TSL will sort it

Happy New Year by the way

x from Lesley.....

 

bob
1st post....big expense
think Eibachs and STi5 spoiler will now go on hold!

XX back to Lesley, Chris (CRUTCH!!! as if!!)


TSL Trouser mentioned an AP organic somthing or other clutch...? he wouldn't tell me the cost cus he didn't want to spoil my New Year's DAY!!!!

MrClutch was a tongue in cheek remark.......i need it doing properly don't i!

anyone got insight info for SIX numbers on saturday nite!???!!??


Phil

 

Phil,
i dont think that there is going to be much in the standard subaru clutch and a decent uprated one so if you can go for the ap organic or a helix one its just the fitting thats suppose to be a pain

Tony

 

OH no Phil.

Dont go too mad with uprating the clutch you will end up breaking the transmission and with a car thats a pain to drive. AP organic would be a good choice.

I'm sure Trouser will sort it out.

Lee

 

I had my clutch done a month after purchasing my car, along with a major service at a local garage near to me.

They were superb about it, very professional, friendly, gave me all of my old parts back and I blagged a superb deal

46,000 mile service + clutch and fitting, they also checked the car over for me - brakes, turbo etc as I wanted to be sure it came over from Japan with no other niggles for a £595 inc VAT

Up until I decided to rearrange the front end with a Scottish road sign the car ran perfect.

Little Miss Blagger does it again

Salsa,
Me Too!!
My evo clutch does the same and i'm saving the pennies for a AP Racing Organic clutch kit.Think they retail at about £350-£400!!
But i need other things also: Cambelt,Balancer shaft belt,Aux belt,Oil +filter change,Gear oil change,Transfer and diff oil change,AYC oil change,Front pads............
What a expensive new year i'll have!!

Duncan

 

Happy New Year,

Try giving the lads at Town End Garage a ring 01524 733837 - they fit a clutch in my friends Subaru a month ago Clutch Kit £160.00 - Labour £100.00 all plus the dreaded VAT of course.

They seem to the cheapest around at the moment.

Hope this helps,

Impreza Babe.

 

Phil, I'm at TSL next couple of weeks for an AP orgasmic clutch...no wonder Trouser didn't tell you.....I wont either

Michelle.....do you know what the clutch is for darling !!?

Imprezababe....Carnforth eh....I'm up at Holgates, Silverdale this weekend relaxing..if you see and hear a loud P1 with ScoobyScene written all over it you'll know who it is

 

Probably a lot more than you ever will sweetheart

 

you clutck will be around about £280.00 +vat that is unless you need a flywheel then you can add about 278 to the price sorry to be the bearer of bad news

 

Shouldn't this be in the Drivetrain forum?

 

Salsa I am surprised you can't weasel a good deal , I had mine halved in price at where I got mine done

 

Christian
wots a DriveTrain?

Michelle
but your blonde, good looking and slept with the Garage owner (illedgidly) so wot did you expect??


Ok i'll have ONE spoiler and four Eibachs!

Phil

 

Salsa King,

Blonde - yes, good looking? Not everyone would agree.....but the last comment?
How could you suggest such a thing? I would retort but don't want to drop down to insults like that I am calling my lawyer..........LOL

Michelle xx

PS It's allegedly

 

Phil - mines on its last legs too mate so I feel for you!!!
Mini Group buy then chap?

Shouldn't this be in the Drivetrain forum?

i dropped the car off at TSL this evening so it wil get all the work done b4 i get it back!


Phil

 

...Phil get in touch when its back with price/feel/yadda yadda yadda cos I think mines gonna start slippin' soon

 

I had one done at one of these clutch places (Mk 3, 4 escort sort of place), had trouble with them, they hadnt done one before, unless your skint or willing to take the risk goto main dealer or a specialist.

 

thats why i will pay for the AP from TSL least i know it will be done correctly by a Subaru Rally team of tech's who know the cars inside out! and it's £750 all in! not much differant in price to a standard Subaru one.

will ring you Rich....tonight?


Phil

 

....nah mate I'm at work til 3am
(cant trust these monkies not to kill themselves over night...)gizza bell when you've had a few miles with the new clutch and let me know your thoughts...
