Guest JER2911 Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 Well, the girlfriends '94 Imprezza's clutch went south on us the other night. Now it looks like she needs a clutch replaced...I need to know what is involved to repair it to see if I can do this myself...Anyone here have any experiance (I know, that was a retorical question hee hee hee) What are the tools needed etc to do this?? What's the estimated time it takes etc. etc. Thanks!!! Jordan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest theotherskip Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 well, there's two ways to get to the clutch. either from the transmission side, or the engine side. pulling the engine requires a way to lift it from above, but it can make doing some of the other maintenance easy while you have it out (timing belt, valve clearance adjust, etc). pulling the transmission is difficult, especially when working in a driveway. I assume this is AWD, so you have to remove both of the front half shafts and the drive shaft to the rear. then you have need to remove the transmission, which can be quite difficult in a driveway. usually the best for this is on a lift with a transmission jack. that said, it is not out of the realm of the do it yourselfer, but it is definately an advanced project complicated by the AWD (if you have it).

Guest JER2911 Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 No, actually this car is only FWD - so....What would I need?? I don't have a car lift in the sence that a shop would have, but I do have a jack and plenty of tools...what/how should I do this??? Anyone here done this in their drive way?? She really needs this done as quickly and as cheap as possible....Help!!! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest theotherskip Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 my Imprezza knowledge is not good, hopefully others can add particular details. dropping a transmission in a driveway is not a fun proposition. fwd's are especially difficult, as you have to remove both half shafts to do it. you typically need a transmission jack, which has a special plate with chains that will securely hold the transmission once you disconnect it from the engine. all of this is complicated by the fact that you are lying flat on your back trying to muscle a heavy transmission around. overall, your quickest way would probably be to have it done. if you call some local independent mechanics, you should be able to find a fair price...

Guest spagemurray Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 Don't forget to get flywheel skimmed and of course use new Grade #8 bolts to put it together. NEVER re-use the old bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
