Heysharon Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Or should I? It has 138,000 miles on it and the shop wants 1280.00 for the clutch replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Do it yourself! Save the 1200+ for a mechanic to do it. No crane? Three or four blokes can lift the engine out easily enough. You just need some basic tools - flat and Phillips head screw drivers; 10, 12, 14mm spanners and sockets, ratchet and an extension bar should do the trick for tools. Can just get a new clutch disc as this will be the worn part unless the fingers on the pressure plate are well worn and the throw out bearing is making noise (worth replacing this part while you’re in there). Also a good time to drop an EJ22 in there (sorry, had to say it!) Cheers Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 some folks buy the Harbor freight engine lift, then sell it after the work is done. look for some subaru clutch job videos on youtube. ask all your friends/relatives if they have ever wrenched that deep on a car, offer them pizza and beers to help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) Beware of what parts you use or the shop uses. There's not much on the market that's quality for these cars. Can't get any of the clutch parts from Subaru anymore, or even Exedy. You might end up $1280 poorer with a clutch that lasts 40% of the normal life.

Only installed it because I had a bad pilot bearing, and had it apart. That's more than I would say it owes me for $80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 Star Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 What is the interchange again on the EA82 Clutch Kits? When going to look up a new clutch for a Dual Range '88 GL, there are two options available... Both have 9 inch Clutch Diameter (8 & 7/8?) One has 1 inch (25mm) Input Shaft Size, with 24 Hub Splines The other has 7/8 inch (22mm) Input Shaft Size, with 21 Hub Splines Curious which one would be right for my application and if the info on the interchange will help the OP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Two options for a dual range. That’s interesting. I’ve not known the EA82 dual range to have two different input shaft sizes. My bet would be the 25mm input shaft size - it’s the same as the EJ gear if that helps Cheers Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
