pBIIKS Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 We have a 2005 Outback wagon 2.5 XT. Problem seems to have started yesterday. Driving in 3rd 4th or 5th gear (manual trans) if you accelerate when at ~40 mph the car acts like its not in gear. That is the rpm's increase but the speed doesn't. It just revs. Car only has ~13,500 miles on it any thoughts???? It does not have a dealer warrantee. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyjo Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 yeah... sounds like a slipping clutch to me... does it smell like burning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdrsubaru Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 why not warranty? its a 05 with 13Kmiles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Sounds like clutch, but seems maybe odd it only happens under those conditions. Guessing it is a salvage vehicle hence no warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, Salvage. Bought with 2600 miles from a trusted dealer who, I hope will take care of this. Is it an adjustment or does it mean a new clutch??
