my clutch is slipping!

hey guys, i'm new to the forum and kinda new to wrx's. i was referred by some guy that lives down the street from me off LaFrance st.

anyway, recently my clutch started slipping. i dont have the patience or even a driveway to do the work. so do any of you guys know someone with experience that wants to either help swap a clutch...or just do it straight up? i have a couple of jacks,jackstands,tools....and cash!

There is a few good technical guys here that probably can help you, Hopefully they will chime in. Goodluck with getting your clutch replaced and welcome to the club!:wavey:

 

the clutch swap is a lot of work... there are some people on the boards who have done it themselves but i would take mine to the dealership

 

I agree, Clutch swap is very difficult and not the kind of thing you want to take a chance on messing up. I would take my car to a dealership.

 

hi corey, welcome!

i did the clutch swap on my 02 wagon. the main reason i did it myself was i didn't have the extra cash to get it done at a dealership & i wanted to learn as much about my car as i can. if you have the money take it to a dealership. it's a big job and i couldn't have done it without the help of some very good friends. plus, a big plus, i had a garage and a beater car that i could drive while getting it done.

but then agian i had many people telling me to take it to a dealership as well. if you decide to do it yourself, i'll lend a hand if i'm not busy.

 

yeah...i'd rather have someone do it, but damn i'm not so sure about the dealership, arent they pretty expensive? how much does the dealer cost for something like that? i'd rather just pay someone on the forum that may need some extra cash.

 

i believe it will run you about $500 at the dealership. (someone correct me if i'm wrong)

 

Yeah go to do it at the dealer if you want it done correctly.

 

500? i wish...i called royal subaru...she said around $1200.

 

500ish is for labor only, the rest depend on what type of clutch you plan on getting

 

did you try SOG(subaru of gwinnett)?....maybe under warranty?

 

I'll install the clutch for you. if you're interested, PM me and i'll give you a price.

i think ive decided to just install it myself. my friend works at a dealership so we can use his lift and hopefully get it done this saturday. thanks guys.

 

Good luck man

 

i took mine to dealership charged me 1600 dollers.. other then that it was a oem shit.. so i guess i kinda got ripped off.. what u think??:hsugh:

 

Did that $1600 come with vaseline?

 

do you drive a black WRX? when i worked out Emory University i drove past LaFrace street to get to school and i always saw a black WRX parked out on the street at the 4 way stop near the Marta station.

 

no
