You have a few issues here. the clutch pedal vibrating at all timesmeans that there is some force being transmitted thorough the clutch mechanisim to the clutch pedal. The fact that it is a vibration tells me that a- something is not mounted properly in the clutch. Something is pushing up from the pressure plate, up through the fork, through the linkage, to the pedal. b- there is no clutch freeplay

You feel it in the clutch pedal with the clutch engaged? You have no clutch freeplay, check the adjustments at the pedals atc. nipper

Does the noise match engine rpm or vehical speed?

I was just wondering if the axles are the same for the wuto as the manual.

Ah minor details that are left out. What year is this car?

If it wasnt doing it before, and it is doing it after, then you have to dig back into it. There is not a hell of a lot of things to go wrong with a clutch that can be repaired externally. It sounds like it can be too thin a flywheel, a bad pressureplate, a broken spring etc. The only other thing it is worth checking is the clutch fork, make sure it is still mounted and in one piece. But the fact that that the noise is getting worse may not give you any choice but to dig into it. nipper

Ild check the pressures first, you may be borderline low on your pressures. nipper

Your going to have to take it apart again. nipper

"borrow" an altenator?!?!

From that page i can see why they would want people to shy away from it, but its a haynes manual, they go where no man (chilton) has gone before.

Drivers side front or rear or both? Its a diaganol braking system, you may have a bad psitojn in the MC. Its safe to remove it, its just plumbing and a flow through design. But you should look in a manual or find a lumina community (there is one for everything why not this) and check. nipper

Check the inside of the power brake booster vac line. Is it wet? Does it smell like brake fluid? If so the master cylinedr is leaking at the power brake booster. Remove the cylinder (unbolt it) and see if it is wet there. This is actually a common failure mode. nipper

i cheat. I use google with endwrench as part of the search term. nipper

Yes check the U joints and CV joints. SOunds like a siezed U joint. nipper

I would use a three way switch. Middle would be off, one side would be normal backup light circuit, and the other would be manually on. nipper

Welcome to the land of subarus. Its a heat shiled easily fixed with vice-grips or a large hose clamp. nipper

Its in the switch. It involves i think a current sensor, but i can be wrong. Mystery black boxes and magic smoke are not my strong points. nipper

I had this, it was my struts being tired. Do a bounce test on your struts, and if the car has alot of miles on it it may be time. nipper

The belts i have now are from advanced. they suck. nipper

Comparing a turbo to a N/A car is just silly, of course it is going to feel slow. nipper

Thats how i got stuck with the cheap belt. When a belt breaks on a sunday afternoon you grab what you can get. And that is all they had. nipper

Well while Blu was distracted getting his annual inspection (turn your headlights and cough please), i got into a 2010 outback. It was a short drive, and yes it was Blue. The car was a 2.5L CVT. Observations; Why does an auto have a hill holder? Tons of rear seat leg room. No folding up the rear seat bottom for a flat luggage floor. Very comfortable. Huge cargo area. The CVT will get you speeding tickets untill you get used to it. Mentally we all use the shift points to help judge our speed (think about it). NO shift points and the power just keeps coming. I was way over the posted speed limit before i knew it. Roof is taller then Blu's. If the imprezza can have 2 cup holders and a handbrake, why cant an Outback? Stereo is still sort of made for the car, but I am sure someone will come out with a kit. Ride is smooother then Blu's, but didnt feel wallowy. Steering is lighter then Blus at low speed (sometimes Blu's feels too heavy for me with the bad back). Blu has the same front realestate as a new imprezza, so the outback feels roomier. The car did not feel large or heavy, but then again i didnt throw it around like Blu. The more i looked at the 2010 the smaller it got ( i was staring at it for 10 minutes). Under the hood seemed more roomy for the 2.5, and the plugs look easy to get to. CVT would be quick to get used to. The dealer didnt have any 6 cylinders to drive, as he has been selling foresters like hotcakes and selling his 09 outbacks. He said in a few weeks he would get a steady Outback supply. Would i buy one? It would be between a 2010 and a Jeep. WOuld I replace Blu, only if he got fatally bent. Blu is paud for with only 60K on his engine, and 70K on his rebuilt AWD unit. The things I dont like about blu: With the back seat bottom flipped up can't recline the front seats. More front legroom Dashboard vents sometimes freeze me or bake me. Broken driver seat heaters (anyone have a procedure for r and r the heaters?). For all his miles he has only one or two rattles, and that wont get me to spend 27,000.00. I'm even thinking of getting him Lasik (projector beams).

hrmmmm so make it tough on me. Is this a push button low/high? nipper
