Subaru Legacy BE Clutch replacement


l2eeFer13

Recommended Posts

Hey guys my clutch is on its way out and slipping in most gears, Just wondering what will be a good replacement. The cars pretty stock so dont need anything major. Also while im getting the clutch done is their anything else i should do while the engine is out etc.

Have been told to do the rear main seal.

Also should i be getting a new flywheel or get the existing one machined?

have found this clutch on TM that is pretty resonable http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/performance/other/auction-773193578.htm

The car has 174,000km on the clock and im also thinking about getting the engine rebuilt. Is this going to be a good idea or should that be done when the engine physically goes? What sort of price in involved with an engine rebuild

Cheers All

Grab Hijacka's one, same kit just a lot cheaper:

Definitely get the flywheel machined, don't need a new one. Rear main seal is a very good idea with 170km.

Rebuild-It might go fine for another 50-100thou, depending on how it's been looked after, so wait till it gives up.

Cheers Rossub. Even has free shipping =)

Yeah i thought to just keep going in it until the day it actually blows. I just inquired because on trademe their are a lot of cars around the 180k mark that have had rebuilds. But as you said depends how it was looked after. The car was absolutely stock when i first got it so i guess thats a good sign for now. Their is a slight knocking when the car is cold and you give it small revs. Goes away after a couple of minuites when the car gets warmer

Do you know roughly what it will cost to install the clutch. A bit of googleing shows around 800-1200 clutch supplied.

Could be anywhere from $350 to $550, depending on where you take it and how long they take to do it. Pays to shop around and get written quotes.

A fast cheap job isn't always the best job. Some of the local guys might have a good recommendation.

You're in timaru, there are a few chch guys who I imagine would be happy to do the job at $lessthanagarage

Hijacka can probably smash it out in 3 hours flat haha, there's not really much to get wrong it's just time consuming

Haha yeah im out Geraldine way. I was actually talking to him about it. Will do it with a supplied clutch for about $850. Where as my usual Timaru mechinic quoted $1240 or $600 supplied parts

The clutch they were going to use was R1911N which im assuming is the stock one?

Only neg thing is i cant really get the car to CHCH but i can get it to Timaru easy and then theirs warrenty etc if it does **** out

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
