2006 Subaru Forester clutch replace.

A very quick overview how I went about replacing the clutch & associated components, & the unforeseen drama/headache therein!

[@bullnukeoldman3794]

Well done. I replaced the clutch in my '10 Outback 6MT last year. I've replaced several clutches in different makes of vehicle over the years and Subaru vehicles have been the easiest by far to do this job.

Thank you, & quite correct re; ease of replacement compared to other makes (after 50 yrs in the trade, there were some mongrels!)

Thank you for your question, but unfortunately I don't fully understand. Could you please elaborate a bit more. I am a mechanic by trade (50yrs +) & would like to assist you if at all possible.

Hello. I am considdering buying such a car with a bad clutch. I suspect the spigot bearing is also gone on that and I am worried that the gearbox will be knackered because of this? Any comments on that please?

[@edster9221]

Hi movikong. As was in my video, when you purchase a clutch for majority of vehicles it includes: 1/ Clutch plate 2/ Pressure plate 3/ Thrust bearing The spigot bearing is a separate purchase (very common size as a lot of makes use the same type of bearing) The sole purpose of this bearing is to support the tip of the g/box input shaft ONLY. It has NOTHING to do with the g/box state/condition. You will have to road test the g/box for any audible growls, excessive humming etc (may also come from tire type noises) Hope this helps.

It's manual gear?or automatic manual same

[@edster9221]

It's a 5 speed manual transmission. Manual select auto trans is still an auto transmission. When the vehicle has 3 pedals it is a Manual box. If it has only 2 pedals it's an auto trans.
