Thanks
I put a LuK kit from ClutchMaster.com in my 1960 Triumph TR3 and was very happy with the pedal pressure and the clutch feel. It came with a nice TO bearing and the spigot (end of crank) bushing was fine too.Overall very satisfied with the package. The Triumph clutches can be pretty miserable from some of the British vendors, so I have a pretty good opinion of LuK and would buy their kits again for any of my vehicles.

I love my Subarus but I hope the SVX is still around when I can afford to buy one.
Nice ride! Enjoy drive safe.

As some of you may have read... Jessica wrecked our 98 Leg GT.. Coincidentally I had been trying to figure out a way to buy this cherry '94 SVX.. Well, insurance ended up totalling out the Legacy... so now we're the proud new owners of an Emerald Pearl 1994 Subaru SVX. She's fully loaded down to the tan leather and suede interior; and remote locks and security system. I've only heard tantalizing stories of the way this car drives and handles. After driving it down a couple of my favorite winding mountain roads.. All I have to say is now I know what "SVX" stands for: "Sweet Vehicular 'X'tasy." With a stock tire size of 225/50/16 and a suspension that leaves me going :banana:WoW:banana: ... The car has grip forever and will only let out a drift on the most terrible opposite banked going over a hill through a wash way too fast corners. The 3.3 liter, 24-valve, four cam, horizontally opposed 6 cylinder has more than enough power all the way through the rpm range. Reaching speeds well in excess of 100mph with ease, the 4AT shifts out of second gear somewhere around 80mph with the pedal to the floor. It needs a 6MT from an STI! All this and it's a pleasure and a comfort to ride in. The seats are beyond comfortable and as a driver you have more adjustments possible than you know what to do with... including telescoping steering wheel. This car leaves me asking "Why haven't I ALWAYS had one of these?!?!" The answer: Because new they were like $35,000!! I also find myself asking "Wanna Race?" a little too often now. With great power comes great responsibility. It is hard to behave in this car! -Eli-Without further ado, here are some pics:

Well, I'm working on a tight budget. Subaru wants $129.00 just for the clutch disc. All the other parts look good (what do I know it's the first time I'm doing this). Also thanks for advice on pulling the engine helped get the job done.
I've never used them. I always use Exedy clutch kits. For about $250, they are a very good deal. . . -
1992 Legacy - what can someone tell me about Luk RepSet clutch kits?
Thanks in advance

Not AutoZone. And ask who makes the part. If it's Fenco, pass. Fenco = Crap. I may have saved $100 by getting a cheap clutch kit, but now I have clutch chatter, and I'm 90% sure I have a bad throwout bearing.
If I had it to do over again, I'd mail-order an OE clutch kit, or maybe get a Beck-Arnley from Advance or NAPA or someplace.
How about Pep Boys they have a kit for about 200.00. I ordered a cluch disc from Courtesy Subaru Parts onlt to get an e-mail that the rpice quoted me was wrong because of different part numbers and the kicked it up another 20%.
I'll check out the other sources you mentioned.
Thanks

Engine is out, clutch is out. Need to order a new clutch and put it all back together. Thank you all for your help. This is a great web site.

All I can say is I've owned two Subarus in the last 24 years. 1st was a GL wagon second which I'm currently driving is a 92 Legacy 150K just in the process of changing the clutch. Between the two cars 290,000 miles the GL towed once bad gas clogged all the fuel filters other then that NORMAL maitenace and thats it. The only downside living in the Midwest the road salt eats the body up. Love my Subarus. Oh and the Subaru engine is growing in popularity as being used in homebuilt airplanes. Why because of its reliability.

Thanks everyone for the input. Gives me a good idea of what to do next. Now I have to wait for the weekend for some free time.

The anti-dive "dig bone" on the top of the transaxel has to be removed as well. Lift the engine out enough to lift the tranny a bit, and remove the radiator as well. there are only 4, so if you got one on each side in front of the halfshafts, and one on each side near the top, you should be good to go. . .
It is easier, however, to remove the tranny when doing this job. Is there a reason you are pulling the engine instead? there is a lot less to disconnecr/reconnect when pulling the tranny than when pulling the engine. That is a much better route unless you are also doing work on the engine that requires removing it from the car (or is made a lot easier by doing this)
I don't have the ability to lift the car high enough to drop the trans, but I also thought I would do some work replacing gaskets retightning valve covers etc. Developed an oil leak. I have no idea what the anti dive is but I'll see if I can find a schematic. What does it look like?

I've been slowly working on pulling the engine to replace the clutch but haven't been able to find any real good diagrams. Can anyone tell how many bolts/nuts there are holding the engine to the transaxle? I remived four and it seems to want to come apart. Facing the engine the left side has about a 1/4" gap the right about 1/16". Any words of advice would be greatly appreciated.

Going to give Exedy a shot. Put the parts on order we'll see what happens. Thanks again for your help.
