Clutch replacement on 91 Legacy


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Was looking for some advice on whether I should proceed on a clutch replacement at home, or just pay the $'s to Clutch Mart to have it done.

 

I'm particularly asking how easy it is to back out the tranny while in the car, while working with the car on stands, etc. It's a 2wd version, so nothing going to the back wheels. Is there room to keep the tranny "in place" and just slide it back to get clearance to remove the Pressure plate and disk?

 

Are there parts to avioid? Should I go with Subaru factory parts (the car has 155k on it0, or aftermarket OK?

 

Thanks.

Mine(also 91 fwd Legacy) has been done twice-first by shop and second by me. I dropped transmission, dont think there was room to "slide back" like on some cars. Some on the board argue it is easier to pull the engine. Not really too bad a job, if you have a place, tools and can follow in a logical order the steps to do. I just used a standard clutch from Orielly.
