Hey everyone I'll just say hello real quick and get to work .
I just purchased a subaru Legacy wagon a week ago for 500 bucks, has 249k on the clock and runs perfect except for one problem wich is really ticking me off.
It is very similar to your binding situation but what happens with my car is when I push the clutch in from neutral while not pressing the brake pedal the car will roll in wichevery direction it leaning on but if I put it in 1st gear the car stops rolling then as I depress the clutch to get going if feels as if the brakes are sticking but im not pressing the brake pedal and I need to rev it high to get it moving and keep it from stalling. I just installed a clutch in it myself 4 days ago and I replaced everythingaside from the flywheel, when I drained the gear oil in the tranny is was a good color and there was minimal materials on the drain plug magnet, I re-filled it with 80w-90 gear oil. Note this only happens sometimes more than I'd like. only happens with first gear and every other gear shifts and accelerates fine, no problems getting it into any gear. Has anyone experienced this???
