need new clutch in 96 Legacy Outback. it is properly adjusted, slips. any tips on how to go about it? pull engine? drop trans? i do have an engine hoist.

 

thanks, jerry

The first time I changed the clutch on my 97 OBW I used the hoist to hold up the back of the engine, and dropped the transmission. the second time I discovered the engine isn't really going anywhere and used the hoist to help pull the transmission back up onto the engine...

If your going to replace the clutch, check to see if you have any oil leaks first. If so, I would imagine pulling the motor to swap the seals would be the best idea. "two birds with one stone" idea

 

This is what I did.....well what I had the shop do
