1of1547 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I'm getting ready to take my LGT back to the dealer because it has metallic jingling sound when you push in the clutch. It's been there since the day I bought it (about a 1 1/2 ago) and the dealer agreed to repair it. I'm taking it back to the dealer next week for them to look at it. Any ideas on what it could be? The car also has a really heavy clutch feel. It takes a lot to push the clutch pedal in. To the point my father can barely push it in. Is this normal? To me it just feels like a "Performance" clutch. But the more I think about it it's a stock car. It only has about 75K on it. Are they all like this? Or could the two be tied together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Clutch feel is pretty subjective, I think the LGT clutch is heavy, but bearable. I am also coming from previously driving an 88 power ram 250 with granny 4 spd that clutch was just about unbearable. The two are more than likely related, the throw out bearing is a known issue with subarus so there is that possibility or more fitting, likelihood.

Zee199969 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 The big unknown is the previous owner and how they drove it. Possibly they could have modded it and returned it to stock. But if the dealer is going to take care of it, I wouldn't worry too much. My "Build" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxrider28 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Mine "jingled" when I bought it at 75k and my dealer denied fixing it after 1 week. Hence why I won't go back there. It's still making this sound a year later but I don't have any drive ability issues so it's staying until I have to pull the motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJuan Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Check the clutch cylinder for fluid levels and inspect the clutch slave. After that, you'll need to pull the trans off and inspect the clutch and TOB. We can guess all we want, but the truth would be told once it's off the car. My wife's balls are delicious.

1of1547 Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 Ok thanks for the info guys. Hopefully they will find something next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1of1547 Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 I dropped offmy LGT Thursday night. I told them that the major problems were the starter grinding when I released the key after it started, heavy clutch pedal, and the metallic sound. Well I got the call from the dealer Friday. They pulled the starter out and the snout was busted up and the flywheel has summer teeth. Some are there and some are not. LOL So they are going to put a new Subaru clutch assy, flywheel, and starter on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zee199969 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Should ask them to toss on the TSK-3 kit (provided by you potentially) to protect the snout while you're at it My "Build" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1of1547 Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 I put the bug in their ear about the TSK-3 kit. Hr said he needed to go talk to his tech about it. I'm going to call him again when I get out of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a snot that has been cutoff by the TOB, If there just enough snot left, you can still use the TSK-3 kit and save yourself from buying a new trans. http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww335/telepciaka/5094c5f8.jpg Pic with the TSK-3 kit installed.

GTEASER Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 you spelled snout like dis...."snot". I fixored it. Just helping a Messican pass his English grammar and spelling test.

GotthatGT Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I think I may have the same problem. Something metallic sounding squeals super loud when i drive in reverse over about 3 mph but not when I drive forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cww516 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 If it's reverse only, I'd guess against clutch/flywheel/TOB and probably go with something like a bearing or bushing on the reverse idler shaft. Probably not going to result in catastrophic failure, but it's definitely not a good thing. Edit: could also be a parking brake shoe dragging or something caught in a brake caliper or something like that, doesn't have to be gloom-and-doom.

1of1547 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 I got the call on Friday my car was ready to go. We picked it up on Saturday. The clutch pedal pressure is literally 10-20% of what it was before I took it in. I mean night and day difference. The first time I pushed it in I'm pretty sure I dented the floorboard. LOL I talked to them about the sleeve. They more or a less told me that it was not a factory Subaru part so they were not allowed install one. Even if I would of paid for it. I by no means am complaining because I got a new Subaru clutch assy, flywheel, and starter out of the deal. On a side note, I can't get the hang of the way this clutch engages. I've owned clutch cars and trucks all of my life. Normally within 10 minutes I would have it. I've stalled this things so many times. I guess it is the damping valve thing under the dash.

GTEASER Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Or just that the new clutch needs some miles and use to break in. GTEASER's 2012 Legacy GT - Sold GTEASER's 2009 XTeaser - Sold GTEASER's 1992 Legacy SS - Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1of1547 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 Very true! I'm comparing a half blown and a new clutch to other cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJuan Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Every time I put a new clutch in it takes a few days to relearn the pressure feel. You're foot is used to the old worn out one, and needs some time to relearn. My wife's balls are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
