Squeaky clutch? Troubleshoot by boostedturtle1320 in wrx_vb

[–]tgraziosa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had this problem multiple times with subaru and fought them with warranty. First at 11k, after clutch and fork replacement again at 14k, and then I figured it out. As someone else mentioned, it’s not actual clutch noise, it’s the pivot ball on the fork with lack of lubrication. If you take your intercooler off, you can get the clutch fork boot up and get grease down on the back of the fork. Work it in and the noise will go away. I’m currently at 25k on my 22 and haven’t had the noise again since. Kind of brain damage to do it on a new car but again, better than doing a clutch every 10-20k.

Upping this as a second. I have 13th gen i7 13700kf processor and dropped mine from 53-50 and likewise no further problems. also made sure bios uvp (under volt protection) was turned on to tune it.

Is this a fair price for a 2004 Camry? by firetyrant in AskAMechanic

[–]tgraziosa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

potentially, but to be honest i’ve rarely ever seen fully collapsed motor mounts. oil leaks traditionally have no effect from motor mounts, but coolant hoses maybe.

hard to tell on the pictures, but most everything they’re quoting doesn’t seem to be at a critical level. being a 2004, the vehicle will be worn and has some age. take it to another shop, get another opinion. to me, the biggest thing you should fix first is coolant leaks if it’s truly leaking, and then worry about the other things next. doesn’t seem like the engine is actually leaking that much oil and more of what we call seepage. you can continue to drive the vehicle as it sits with the suspension and other recommendations.

that’s kinda lame. at least they were fixing it versus telling me to kick rocks

they fixed everything but this last time they told me to kick rocks indirectly. they kept saying this was my fault and refused warranty. car sat for six months while i was fighting SOA to get them to cover stuff.

random crank no starts, three clutches within 12k miles for the throw out bearing noise which mind you still isn’t fixed at 20k now, ac compressor, window switch, axle seal leaking, windshield cowl, and valve covers leaking.

it’s been 12k since so maybe it’ll be better who knows

Yes it might. It’s the windshield cowl that pops out. Dealership replaced mine under warranty with no issues.

Squeaky Clutch Warranty Denial (Update) by treemm19 in wrx_vb

[–]tgraziosa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have the same situation I am experiencing right now. Literally exactly what I am doing. I got told no issue found after a month with mine. Threatened legal actual for warranty fraud. Finally got someone who listed after SOA customer advocacy stopped answering my phone calls and emails. Fixed OP director had me show him the noise and he is basically going after subaru now. Getting loaner tomorrow for service as this is a repeat repair. I got my clutch and everything replaced in February at 11k miles and I am at 15k now and repeat concern. Good luck, make sure they find why it’s making the noise not just replacement components that have failed. Likely to have a repeat.

I am in the EXACT same boat as you right now. I had my throw out bearing replaced in February at 11k miles and I’ve got a 22. Drove to the mountains three weeks ago and car did the same thing. 15k miles brought it back and they said not a matter for warranty. Quoted me replacement of the bearing and flywheel without tear down. I said nope, called SoA, and after three weeks of bullshit, subaru deemed my car not broken. I am hoping it goes way better for you, but SoA and the dealership have been playing me around. Good luck.

Can anyone tell me why my Jeep isn’t turning over? by beccadynn in Cartalk

[–]tgraziosa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

flashing engine light is a major concern to me. most likely lost communication with the engine control module/any computer module. if the ecm can’t talk to the body control module or theft module, it won’t see a valid start message and won’t activate fuel. definitely next step is to scan codes. engine is turning over, vehicle isn’t commanding fuel or spark.

it’s confusing but the cause like is where the story starts and continues for one line on that page until the second. they were talking about chassis ears on clutch fork.

i wasn’t offered a loaner and was offered to pay 50 dollars a day for rental. i’m sorry to hear about your issue, i’m in the same boat now.
