95 Legacy 220k I pulled the motor to do a major reseal, everything is leaking except the vc gaskets.......what's up with that!! I have been experiencing noise (rattle) from the clutch release lever ever since I bought this car several years ago so thought I would see what was going on in there. Both the clips that hold the throwout bearing to the release lever were laying in the bottom of the bell housing. The tube that the release bearing slides on is worn excessively. There is about a 1/16th in. gap between where the bearing rides on the tube/extension housing and the inner part of the bearing. This part is not replaceable like on some transmissions. Has anyone ever run across this before, is this common on older subies? Any ideas on fixing, I was thinking maybe JB weld and some filing/sanding. It is functioning fine, never had any issues except the rattle from the release lever. As worn as everything is in there, I now know why. Thanks for any suggestions you can offer.
