Rpm90001 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) Is it normal for a legacy clutch not to hold on a slightly sloped driveway when In 1st gear with out the ebrake on? The drive way is on about a 25 degree slope, and the car will slowly got down the driveway if I don't have the brake on. Just wondering if it's normal? My f150 never had this problem. The Subaru has a new exedy clutch kit (oem replacement). I may even be the motor turning over for all I know. Just wondering..

bheinen74 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 yeah that sounds normal, there is not enough compression on these little boxers to keep the keep the car from moving/engine turning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricearu Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 its not the clutch, its cylinder leakdown. there is half the cylinders as your f150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY_Dave Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 If it's in 1st and rolling backwards it is sucking oil out of the engine and into the pan... as much as it can through the drainback valve. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rpm90001 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 I thought the motor was turning. When I did the head gaskets I remember it did not take muct to turn the motor over. I guess I have to be careful and not forget the e- brake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carfreak85 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Palm to forehead. Cars are equipped with parking brakes for a reason, specifically, the scenario you brought up. Use it and never again worry about your car wandering off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
