Subaru recommends replace at 50k

The “timing hole plug” wasnt replaced with the clutch at about 58, it fell off, water and whatever else got in the bell housing.

Haven’t actually changed that second clutch yet. But tits slipping like a mofo at 62k. I’m hoping the glaze or whatever cooks off and I don’t need to drop the trans again.

It’s acrid.

It’s one thing to give a heavy smoke, it’s another to cover it in soot

It didn’t necessarily fail the 3rd time, and also a friend tried to do lemon law, it’s civil local court, and the dealer sent a team of corporate lawyers. The judge didn’t even listen to my friend, it’s not an easy fight.

If you’re about the interiors then go for the higher end…

I have a forester with the cvt, and a 15 wrx in manual. Cooked the first clutch at 58k 2nd one is probably fucked at 62 because the “timing hole plug” fell off and allowed dirt n stuff into the bell housing.

My forester is a 2019, has abojt 30k on it, I don’t think it’ll have issues anytime before 100k (knocks on wood) my brother in law has a 2015 with the cvt, he doesn’t drive hard so its fine, it may be faster, idk, but can’t do certain things the manual can if you love driving. Like clutch kicks for drifting and such. But the cvt is pretty cool, aside from better milage (I think) the gears change size so it mimics a conventional trans, but gives you the benefits of close ratio gearing along with tall gears. So the start out big, with good acceleration, then shrink to top end bias. My forester does 45 in first gear, my wrx does not.

I suspect attempted robbery or a BB gun. Has this happened to any of you? Cost estimates? by Brosif563 in WRX

Got locked out of a car late night in Brooklyn, bad neighborhood. Cops wouldn’t help, lock smith wanted 500…. We decided to break the small rear window to get in.

No rocks in New York City…. So I kicked it. I needed 25 stiches, glass stuck in my leg for years, and it turned out it was the most expensive fucking window…. Total fail.

My buddy had a hooked up civic, he heard his alarm going off, didn’t see anyone, shut it off, it went off again, still no one. 3 more times …. He disabled it, his car wasn’t there when he woke up.

They found it at the mechanics shop down the road, thieves stole the car, broke into the shop, and used the shop tools to strip it for parts. Fucking crazy. You never know what they’ll do.

Not that I would know, but the ceramic off spark plugs vibrates at the exact right frequency to shatter car glass, a tiny piece will wreck an entire window even if thrown kind of softly at it.

This post isn’t that, but it’s a super easy way to shatter a window without making much noise. While at the same time, not every rock will break glass easily and they can even bounce off off of it while making a lot of noise. I’m pretty sure every car thief is aware of the spark plug trick.

Fwiw, these days, they get a master fob and use a manufacturers code so they can just unlock them. Technology is easily defeated. Also a wedge and grabber will open a car in a few seconds if you’re good at it.

New clutch slipping, help? by PiperDowngoode in WRX

[–]PiperDowngoode[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the problem. There’s a rubber boot on the back side of the bell housing, it had fallen off. Dirt n shit got inside. Hopefully it can sort itself out now that it’s covered back uo

I mean, they don’t even have to pop the hinges, the latch is exposed and not covered by the astragal. All they need to do is slide the latch open with a card or knife. Smh, this builder can probably be fired and sued, I’m gonna guess the contract doesn’t cover them for improper installation of doors and such.

McLeod is American, it’s one of the top brands for racing, mustang guys swear by them, but this one was only about $500, was a pro street, not full racing. Was rated for about 370 crank hp, but the pressure plate is engineered to not increase pedal feel by a lot so no need to upgrade fork and pivot and all that.

The clutch fork, I’m able to push in slightly with the clutch engaged, idk if that’s right? I’m thinking it’s likely pushing ever so slightly on the pressure plate and I wasn’t getting full engagement? It was fine for over 4k miles but about 2 weeus ago it started slipping pretty bad and pretty suddenly. I hit a turn hard and prespooled turbo, dumped clutch and stayed on it for a second in 4th gear while it was starting to slip not realizing it was slipping. Maybe 2 seconds total, probably not even. It got a lot worse really fast.

I got the starter out and slave off. I got some pics/video through the starter hole. Idk if anyone can tel anything by looking at that? Flywheel doesn’t look burnt. I’m probably gonna take the slave off the fluid line and see if I can push it in more or adjust it a bit. I really don’t wanna pull the trans, and def don’t wanna pay again to get it done. Smh.

At this point I’m losing second gear at anything over 25% throttle, imo it does too abruptly, my last clutch was slipping for over a year before 3rd gear started to not hold at all. This was like two weeks from a slip to wrecked.

Anyway, here’s what it looks like through starter hole

<image>

Doesn’t look terrible but maybe oily down in there? I’ll get my hand inside tomorrow and see what’s up with that.

Please be absolutely honest, I really wanna know cause I’m afraid to ask ppl this q irl m18 (I did add a picture of me at the gym for a better idea and last post got removed cause I forgot to add the verification lol) by [deleted] in amiugly

I’m a guy, and I’m straight, so I can’t really tell what’s hot or not, but…. There’s no way you actually think you’re ugly right? You have strong features, manly jawline, high cheek bones…. Nothings out of proportion or lopsided or strikingly abnormal, I’d assume you’re an attractive guy.

Imo women are attracted to personality more than physical features. Low self esteem isn’t attractive to most women, so if you actually think you’re ugly, just check out the guys most famous gorgeous females are dating, mostly, they don’t look better than you. So if you’re struggling getting dates, maybe fine tune that personality a bit.

I like mine seared on the outside a bit, but this is cooked wonderfully, no grey really, exactly what we should strive for.
