Doing my Own Clutch (FUN LOL) PIcs!!! 1st time

StiKid06 · 05-17-2008, 09:38 AM

hey guys so after some days now ive been debating to do my clutch job. But after realizing my car slips in every gear i have to lol. I started at 8 this morning and got everything off except separating the traNS and engine. Currently the tim is 11:45 and have called it quits for the reason being i have to go to my sister bday party lol.

Just as a reference im 18 years old and work at bmw as a tech.

Just let me know what you guys think

. If you want any pics let me know.Im located in Nw Indiana and love to work on cars.

This process is actually very easy and straight forward.

These are some pics i took. Tell me what you think. Also check out my custom center caps for my wheels

I have my car KNee high

Plenty of opportunities for stuff to go wrong. Go ahead and do a write up FTW.

Yes please

(if it's not too much trouble).

Separating the Trans - and rejoining the Trans - are the 2 most difficult things about doing a clutch on the Subaru. The rest of the stuff is actually fairly straight forward. I wish you luck bro!

KiTsuNe · 05-17-2008, 03:41 PM

seperating it is a pain because sometimes it doesnt wanna come off, getting it back together is just getting it aligned right

WESTI · 05-17-2008, 04:34 PM

yea totally make a write up!

Rootus · 05-17-2008, 05:55 PM

It's great to see more people tackling this kind of work themselves, it really helps improve the technical content on IWSTI!

That said, I love to look at the pictures but after the last time I spent a few days under my car I decided never again. For the STI, I'll just pay to have this done

. Yup, I'm a lazyass. Kudos to you, though

polyol · 05-17-2008, 06:26 PM

Yeah, more props to you...for me...I like to do mechanical work but changing clutches is something I will opt-out of and pony up to have someone else do.

KiTsuNe · 05-17-2008, 11:40 PM

its not as bad as you guys think

Dark_Helmet · 05-18-2008, 04:22 AM

I did my own on my RS, and it was the biggest pain the ass I've had to deal with in a long time. And yes, separating the tranny from the engine was my biggest problem. I spent hours trying to get them apart without scratching the surfaces and finally I said screw it and got the wedges and got em apart in about 10 mins.
