DerFahrer Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 I had been chasing a gritty feeling in my clutch pedal for some time now, I figured it was just a bad cable, even though it was recently replaced... Well, it developed into a very irritating noise last night, and I had a friend depress the pedal while I watched the fork. It is wobbling inside the bellhousing!!! :madder: So now I get to do my first transmission drop and reattach the lever securely to the TOB... I theorize that is shook loose because: The clutch was replaced in the summer of 02, when all the clutch shudder TSB's were going around :temper: ... I can easily get the new clutch to shudder, so I believe it's a new OEM clutch. I'm guessing the few times I accidentally made it shudder probably wiggled the fork loose... So now I get to beg my family for Christmas money early, so I can get the XT operable again, so I can put the Leg back in the garage... :boohoo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel they should since it is a defective part. The recently updated clutch assemblies (after May/June 2003) still judder, but not nearly as often.

DerFahrer Posted December 15, 2003 Author Share Posted December 15, 2003 It was not installed by Subaru, and I'm not 100% sure it even IS an OEM clutch. But with the way it shudders, it very well could be. Nevertheless, since a shadetree mechanic did the work (and very sloppily I might add ) I don't think they'll honor anything...
