yeah it's only blowing hot air and the mode switching works fine.

My AC cluster has a button that says Auto on it but I can also manually adjust the driver and passenger side separately so not sure if that means I have auto. I mean every vent in the car blows only hot air regardless of the temperature set. Yes, all of the vents switch modes normally. Hmmm ok, I will have someone check into the AC pump failure. I have an appointment scheduled at the stealership in a few days and they're telling me there is a $180 fee just to diagnose what issue it is. 9 months ago I got all the refrigerant recharged so I doubt that is the issue.

All of my vents are blowing hot air. Could this still be an issue with this actuator? My car was in storage over the winter and I was hearing the intermittent clicking noise from that actuator before I last used it. Is it possible to swap the driver side actuator without removing the gauge cluster? I've removed the dash a couple times but wasn't able to remove it without removing the steering wheel first. I think some people have different versions of the Legacy with telescoping steering wheels that make this task easier but mine doesn't have that.

It's in the 1st post in this thread... https://avojdm.com/dual-zone-av-panel-set-h6217ag911/

Thanks for the info.

Is there a thread that outlines the suggested maintenance items to be performed at a certain mileage?

I had a good experience with Six Star Motorsports in Schaumburg, see here.... https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2236452&highlight=six+star+motorsports

Can someone verify that these are the 2 parts (clutch fork and pivot pin) that are recommended to replace if I was to use the OEM Exedy set? I see other parts like the clutch (part 30534) spring as well in this list of parts...

Looks like these are the parts... Pivot Pin https://parts.subaru.com/p/49239207/30537AA061.html Clutch Fork https://parts.subaru.com/p/49239192/30531AA180.html

Good point on replacing those parts as well while everything is out. Any site you would recommend to purchase them?

I've been reading that when removing the dual mass flywheel you need to remove the existing flywheel bolts with a Torx Plus T50 bit like this... http://www.mcmaster.com/#54305a34/=2r6vug Does anyone have any experience locating a bit like this from another site? I'll then place the 8 new flywheel bolts (part number 800410020) on the new flywheel. Referencing thread - https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1805288

makes sense, autohance seems to have good reviews although I've never used them.

Any reason why you wouldn't select the OEM kit recommended above? https://www.autohance.com/exedy-oem-replacement-clutch-kit-fjk1001fw.html It has the single mass flywheel included. I'm currently being quoted at $1,100 by a local body shop and $1400 for the local Subaru dealer for the install without parts.

thanks for this, looks like a good kit.

Thoughts on these kits? https://www.amazon.com/CLUTCH-PRO-KIT-FLYWHEEL-SUBARU-IMPREZA/dp/B01M5F1362/ https://www.amazon.com/ClutchMaxPRO-Performance-Chromoly-Flywheel-Compatible/dp/B08GGBG8WX/

Interesting, yeah I'm leaning towards things remaining as stock as possible as they've been since it was driven off the lot. I'll look into purchasing a Stage 1. Would you recommend to replace the flywheel or just get it resurfaced? There is a lot of noise coming from my clutch/flywheel assembly and they won't know until they take it apart. They suspect something is broken inside.

Appreciate the info!

Does anyone have an idea of the rough cost of a clutch replacement for an 05 Legacy GT Manual transmission? Mine is starting to slip and making a whirring noise. Took it to an AAMCO transmission shop and they quoted $900 to take it apart to see what's wrong but the cost would be credited towards any work they do.

Perhaps read the text in on this page about illumination... https://tightfitfab.com/2005-2009-subaru-legacy-gt-outback-jdm-double-din-dual-zone-climate-control-i88-adapter/

this was fixed with simply turning the headlights on. I don't remember that being required with the stock head unit but I guess it's good enough for now.

Understood regarding the trim pieces but the actuator at the top on the drivers side is extremely hard to get to from what I've read. I'll take a look tomorrow.

Actually just found this thread...

I hear a clicking noise behind the driver side of the dash but the diagram in the manual say all the AC actuators are behind the passenger side. The 05 Legacy manual indicates these are the locations of the actuators - The Subaru parts website has a diagram that I believe indicates the part (circled, Part Number: 72131AG27A) that I will need to replace - Even if this is the correct part I suspect that I may need to take the dash off to access it. Anyone have experience with this issue with a Gen 4 Legacy?

I'm having an issue with getting the illumination to work. for the HVAC controls and on my head unit. After following the instructions, are there any tips anyone can provide to get this to work?

Understood, thanks.
