Liftedlego96 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I'm about to do the clutch in my 96 legacy. Anyone know what else might be a good idea to replace while I'm in there? Never done a clutch before but doesn't seem too bad. The underside of the car is abit rusty. Im alittle worried I may end up breaking alot of things to get the transmission out. I'd like to have everything I need before I start turning wrenches. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks to all with helpful input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Get the updated separator plate and bolts from Subaru. Yours will be plastic and cracked and leaking. And get a new wrist-pin access plate o-ring from Subaru as well. DO NOT touch the rear main seal unless it is obviously leaking badly. Slight dampness from clutch fibers wicking oil out of the seal is normal. GD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liftedlego96 Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share Posted September 18, 2022 Good to know. I have not heard of that before but if it's worth doing I certainly will. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtdash Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Related? Might want to consider replacing some of the shifter bushings and/or the linkage. Helps w/the sloppy shifter.: There's also the trans mount that can wear out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liftedlego96 Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 Good to know. I actually replaced all of the shifter linkage shortly after I bought the car in April 2021 so the shifter is still nice and tight. But I will certainly look into the trans mount and inspect the one on the vehicle. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forester2002s Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 The Clutch Release Fork (Lever) can develop cracks, or can bend. You might want to have a replacement on hand (OEM# 30531AA111 ?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Yes and the pivot ball can get pretty wrecked as well. I concur on ordering a new fork and pivot ball to have on hand. GD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
