February 9, 200818 yr Author are these hyd. or mechanically adjusted? :-\ raining cats, dogs, and verious other animals here in WA. and no garage to work on it, dont wanna roll around all day in the water looking ! Thanks,
February 9, 200818 yr Mechanical - it's a cable clutch. What proplems are you having specifically? If it's releasing closer and closer to the floor the cable may be stretching and could fail soon. If you install a new one (easy), then you should route the cable UNDER both the steering shaft and the heater core lines. It's a common mistake to route them above and end up with a cable that lasts 100 miles. GD
February 9, 200818 yr Author What proplems are you having specifically? clutch engaging right @ the floor, and slipage........ wtf is that even a word? you get my drift right ? Will run the hooptie over to a friends shop with a lift. As always thanks for the help.
February 9, 200818 yr Close to the floor AND slippage eh? Being that it engages right at the floor it has run out of adjustment - I would say the disc is probably worn away. The tighter you make the cable, the higher they will engage. But if the cable *was* ultra loose resulting in a very low engagement then there would be as much grip on the pressure plate as possible when the cable goes slack.... thus the pressure plate or the disc are not performing adequately I would say. Buy no worries - Subaru clutches are very easy to do. You don't even have to pull the engine. Just remove the radiator and pull it forward enough to slip the new set in. GD
