nicholi2789 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) What are the symptoms of a burnt out clutch? Pretty sure mine burnt out today. Before it happened I was driving and was getting a bad shudder when I let out the clutch. Happening intermittently. Then after some more driving I was pulling it into a parking lot when it started acting weird. The motor sounded like it was under load when I had the clutch pushed in. Kinda like how it sounds when you first take off maybe? And I can hear a sound coming from around the bell housing when it's idling. Also when I let out the clutch and tried to take off I could go but it sounded like it was gonna die. No extra noise when I push in or out the clutch that I can tell. Oh, and it won't go into reverse at all. Anybody have a clutch burn out on a subaru? What was it like? I didn't notice any slipping before but I have noticed a whistling sound that happens only when I push in the clutch. That's happened since I bought the car. Any advice guys? I'm in the process of getting it towed home but I need to know for sure if it's the clutch or not.

nicholi2789 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Update, I got the car towed to my work and scanned the code. It's a cylinder 3 misfire. One single code. It happened really abruptly too. It's obviously missing bad. I don't think it's the clutch at all now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureSubaru Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Not going into reverse will have nothing to do with a misfire. Get a little more info and post back. You might have a couple things happening at once. Misfire is usually due to plugs or wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might have a couple things happening at once. Misfire is usually due to plugs or wires. It not going into reverse was just me being panicky and jumping the gun. I came back to the car after a bit and started it. It still runs like it's missing really bad (engine shaking etc), I am able to shift through all the gears just fine. The the rediculously rough idle and the single PO303 code. It has something to do with this cylinder misfire. I am just praying praying that it isn't a burnt exhaust valve or something. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
