driftnutz Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 alright so i replaced the clutch on my legacy gt with an oem one from subaru dealer and that made it to about 900 miles... after persuading the dealer warranty the disk and PP they took it and instead i got an 06 wrx clutch disk and PP but had to purchase the SMFW... Long story short after the second install for the WRX clutch set and SMFW my legacy does not want to go into gear when engine runnning... when engine is off i can shift 2,4 and reverse.... now with the car on i can neither shift into any gear or shift out of any gear... im all ears on ideas.... thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 So is it stuck in or out of gear? Have you checked the shifter linkage under the car while someone shifts with engine off? The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 If you shift into 2/4/R and start the car does it want to move at all? The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2,4 if I put in gear before I start the car it acts as it would normally, now I do the same in reverse car starts going as soon as you crank it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heiche Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 can you tell if the clutch fork is properly seated? if you remove the rubber boot and shine a light down there you might be able to see if the fork is on the "ball" of the bellhousing, and the 2 ends of the fork are engaged with the throwout bearing. you can also try to push the end of the clutch fork into the operating cylinder to depress it fully.

Max Capacity Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 The way I found my fork had dropped off the ball was by looking a slave cylinder rod, it must be horizontal and not at a downward angle. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

jwag74 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Have you verified the slave cylinder is pushing the shift fork when you push the clutch? It could need bled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya sorry forgot to update this... Friday night pulled it in to the shop and noticed the Alec cylinder rod was slightly at n angle.... Apparently while installing the trans the fork had dropped about a 1/2 inch and wasn't hitting where it should have been so pulled the bell housing bolts just enough to move trans enough to reposition the fork and life was good!!
